Hello,
Just sharing a little config pretty useful if you want the webui to share the same port as a web site already hosted with Apache:
```
RewriteRule ^/gui$ /gui/ [R]
ProxyPass /gui/ http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
```
Add this to a \*.conf file in conf.d directory of apache and it will redirect all requests on your standard apache port at location **gui/** to a syncthing WebUI hosted at **localhost:8080**.
This is also useful if you want to reuse your apache configuration such as SSL certificates or authentication.

Another possibility to get the same is a .htaccess file in a folder of your webroot (for example gui to get the same like in your example)
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://localhost:8080/$1 [P]
```
this also redirects to https to prevent opening the gui unencrypted over the web. I use this method because I can’t change the config of apache on my shared hosting provider 😃
Maybe those methods should be added to the docs that people can easily find that?

It would be awesome if you guys could add these to the documentation repo.

Could you post your configuration for the relevant virtual host? I expect there’s another location block taking precedence.
