</div>

it does not work with kibana 4.2-beta2. (redirect to /app/kibana.)  
I expect it to be redirected /kibana4/app/kibana/

my apache config

```auto
ProxyPass /kibana4/ http://localhost:5601/
ProxyPassReverse /kibana4/ http://localhost:5601/

```

but It will work with kibana 4.1.

WORKAROUND

- I use namebase virtualhost. It's works fine.

```auto
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName kibana4.example.com
  (snip ...)
</VirtualHost> 

```

I can understand the design has been changed from Kibana 4.2.  
However, I hope that also operate in the sub-directory.

Any ideas?
