Re: [xwiki-users] some help needed: short URLs

[[IDIS Technical Secretariat] Ricardo Rodríguez]

Yeah! Apache documentation is rather important in this framework! But then
we do need to include references to documentation about, at least, other
proxies, web servers, applications servers...

What I'm trying to get is a picture about the information provided from
XWiki, from within XWiki, about this issue: how to manage URL construction
within XWiki environment. Of course, it will depend upon which software is
used to deploy each XWiki instance, but it will be always XWiki sites
acting as gateways to that original information.

As you know I'm not a developer, but I frequently face issues in the
interface between users, allow me to say advanced users, and developers. A
good understanding about what is expected to be possible to do by just
"fine tuning" XWiki configuration files without customizing the
configuration of web or applications server behind the scene will be of
great help! I think!

Thus, for shorter URLs I'll concentrate in Short XWiki URLs: as a XWiki
user, this is the entry point I found to solve my doubts about how to
customize/shorten XWiki URLs.

I'll report back ASAP!

Cheers!

Ricardo

Well, no Apache documentation?

 You might want to keep
 ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm/
 (this cares for redirects emitted by tomcat)

 But I am still fearing you'll get some bad links

This is the first time I truly face the complex world of client-server
conversation to serve webpages! And, of course, I found a lot of nice work
done in XWiki! prior to go ahead, I would like to be sure I'm following the
correct XWiki pages dealing with this issue. Here a summary...

http://portal.idisantiago.es/xwiki/bin/view/XWikiDevelopment/URL/

Please, am I missing anything? I know that XWiki pages are a collaborative
effort and that any of us can contribute to improve them. I'm just trying
to establish a solid starting point before going ahead!

Thanks for any insight!

Nope! I can move XWiki to ROOT in Tomcat by simply renaming the application
folder! But I've been asked to not to do that by respecting the current
application running as ROOT in the server where I'm deploying XWiki.

Besides, I would like to run several XWiki instances in the same box. In
fact, I'm already doing that, calling each application by using the
"application part of the URL". Far simple, for example...

http://isabel.idisantiago.es:8080/xwiki
http://isabel.idisantiago.es:8080/atriumkm

I would like to set up a vhost for each instance that avoid the
"application part in the URL.

I think I've already tried this. As following...

*

 ServerAdmin ricardo.rodrig...@idisantiago.es
 ServerName isabel.idisantiago.es

 # RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://isabel.idisantiago.es/atriumkm/

 ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm
 ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm

 # ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080
 # ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080

 DocumentRoot /var/www/html

 # Logging
 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/isabel.idisantiago.es-error_log
 CustomLog /var/log/apache2/isabel.idisantiago.es-access_log common

*

And I get this error...

*
Too many redirects occurred trying to open "isabel.idisantiago.es//".
*
 This is the current configuration. You can see that error accessing...

http://isabel.idisantiago.es

It is clear that my understanding about how URLs are constructed is truly
poor! Any help will be welcome!

Thanks!!!

It avoid the loop, but it fails to generate correct URLs: it generates URLs
that work fine if accessed directly using Tomcat, but Apache Web Server
fails. For example, accessing http://isabel.idisantiago.es, the URL
generated...

http://isabel.idisantiago.es/atriumkm/bin/Main/HomeMV2

failed to serve the page correctly served when accessing Tomcat at 8080...

http://isabel.idisantiago.es:8080/atriumkm/bin/Main/HomeMV2

It seems to me that this option only works for the main page: in fact, in
our installation, it includes a redirection...

*
{{velocity}}
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL('Main.HomeMV2'))
{{/velocity}}
*
The URL generated by xwiki.getURL includes the "application part" and
failed to be served.

An image from Firebug...

http://goo.gl/4D93fm

I'm afraid that I'm not able to follow all your reasoning... Why do you say
"it's the tomcat doing the redirect right now"?

I would like to rephrase my initial question. Perhaps this is clearer...

1) It is possible to remove the "application part" of an XWiki URL when the
application is not deployed at ROOT in Tomcat with Apache Web Server as
front-end?
2) If yes, does the set-up be done in the Apache Web Server side, Tomcat
side, XWiki side, or any combination of these parts?

I'm far from being able to digest the complexity of this landscape... I'm
afraid!

Any insight will be extremely welcome! Thanks!

Can you try:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm/

?
It's the tomcat doing the redirect right now (use firebug, go to net,
activate persist, then show the headers: Apache-Coyote/1.1) so maybe
that helps things.

You might want to keep
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm/

Re: [xwiki-users] some help needed: short URLs

[Paul Libbrecht]

This is getting more hairy,
First, I think that all redirects sent using http-status will be covered
by proxyPassReverse.

Your next step is to fix any URL produced within the XWiki page.
I thought proxyHost would help fixing that (that's part of server.xml,
see
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html#Proxy_Support)
but I think XWiki doesn't use much of getServerName. Might still be
useful for mails or such (there, you need the host-name).

For any request to /atriumkm/ you could add another proxy rule but this
makes duplicates which is inelegant (the resource page would have two
accessible URLs).

I think that
xwiki.webapppath=
(not commented out, this will make the web-app be considered to be "/")
in xwiki.cfg might be your friend. It's part of the shortURLs strand
(which would be your next step?).

Ricardo,

are you unable to move the webapp to root?
The shortURLs experience thus far has been based on that.

For your vhost, you "just" need to change:

ProxyPass /atriumkm http://localhost:8080/atriumkm
to
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm

but there will be links left produced by the web-app that will contain
/atriumkm, I think.

[xwiki-users] some help needed: short URLs

[[IDIS Technical Secretariat] Ricardo Rodríguez]

Hi!

I'm moving an old XWiki installation (XWiki Enterprise 2.4.30451) to a new
box. It currently runs as root in a CentOS/Tomcat/MySQL box serving pages
at port 80. The destination is a Ubuntu/Apache Web Server/Tomcat MySQL
where an Apache virtual host will serve all controller and virtual wikis. A
different application is already running as root in the destination.

I do need to remove the application part of the URL from the pages served
by the new location. This is mainly due to lots of hardcoded URLs I''m not
able to get rid of them now.

This simple virtual host configuration works fine, but I'm not able to
understand how could I remove the "atriumkm", the application, part of the
URL...


 ServerAdmin ricardo.rodrig...@idisantiago.es
 ServerName isabel.idisantiago.es

 RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://isabel.idisantiago.es/atriumkm/

 ProxyPass /atriumkm http://localhost:8080/atriumkm
 ProxyPassReverse /atriumkm http://localhost:8080/atriumkm

 DocumentRoot /var/www/html

 # Logging
 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/isabel.idisantiago.es-error_log
 CustomLog /var/log/apache2/isabel.idisantiago.es-access_log common


I've found this thread that it seems to me deals with a similar issue...

http://markmail.org/thread/u5hu7kw6rr2fcacx

... but I'm not able to understand how to get it working.

Please, must I be able to do that by modifying the VirtualHost
configuration? Must I modify web.xml? Something related with xwiki.cfg
parameters? There are a lot of information playing around and concepts I
don't understand well.

Any help will be extremely welcome!

Cheers!

Ricardo
