Hi,
many people and distros use a subdirectory in the configuration of the system's
webserver
to configure different websites.
The usual way to setup a website is thus to :
1. use the distro's webserver to serve all the websites
2. have a subdirectory to copy the configuration file that makes available a website
by only restarting the webserver (and removing the website is just done by removing
the configuration file and restart). Concerning this point, the classical
configurations can be :
a) a sub web location : https://website.org/webapp
b) a virtual host : http://webapp.website.org
a) and b) correspond each to different configuration files that are just dropped into
:
- Ubuntu/Debian :
/etc/{apache,nginx,..}/sites-available/{webapp_subweb,webapp_virthost}.conf
- Fedora/Opensuse : /etc/{httpd,nginx,..}/conf.d/
At the moment kimchi is launched with a private instance of nginx, not the system's
installed one and it would be nice to have this improved and this is covered in another
thread :
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/kimchi-devel/2015-February/009642.html
Provided that previous patch, one can use the distro's webserver to run proxy kimchi
and that fullfills 1.
Then for 2. one need a configuration file for either b) (provided for apache in the
link above ; I have also one for nginx ) and a), which I provide in this patch.
But this nginx configuration file is not enough for a sub web location configuration
as kimchi relies on absolute path based on / from the http://server/.
I tried to make URLs paths relative so that kimchi doesn't have to know where it has
been placed on the webserver, for example https://server/kimchi/ which will probably
be the URL used in distros.
I'm not a web developer and I tried to modify all failing requests with a a)
configuration
with relative paths in mind. So I'd like comments on the way this is done, and this
may need more extensive testing (paths I didn't test).
Though I used that code back on a virtualhost configuration and it worked as well.
Thanks for your help,
F.
