Mobile Device site rewrite rule

Re: Mobile Device site rewrite rule
Pascal, I am talking about layout/styling! Background: I have a crappy desktop table-based static layout done by a designer using some Adobe auto-generated output from a few weeks ago. I added my jQuery logic and WO direct actions to that for the few small bits of dynamic logic needed by the customer. Today, I was asked for a mobile version of this one-page site (it is a landing page from a mass snail-mail campaign) and since the original version is impossible to just style as mobile with CSS due to its awful non-semantic layout, and since it is too late to find a web designer who can redo the entire thing, I am creating a very simple semantic layout for mobile. So, I am just going to use apache rewrite rule on the user agent to rewrite mobile device requests to a different URL containing the mobile site. What I am looking for is the huge list of mobile user agents as might be used in this example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1005153/auto-detect-mobile-browser-via-user-agent Either way, my objective is simple: Deliver mobile site home page to mobile (or small-screen devices) and regular home page to the rest. And I need to do this using either apache and/or javascript - no java or WebObjects is involved in rendering this site home page.

Re: [OT] Apache rewrite rule
Hello Jeff, On your server you may have virtual host setup, so the rewrite rule has to be put inside the virtual host configuration /etc/apache2/sites/ for each site that need it. Xavier Did this on my dev machine and it worked great, but on my leopard server deployment machine I added the same entry in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and no dice. The shorter URL's are being output from my app using the Wonder er.extensions.ERXApplication.replaceApplicationPath properties, but I get the requested URL not found error when I click on one of them. Nothing in the rewrite.log file. Is there some other property to set in httpd.conf or elsewhere? Thanks, Jeff On Apr 16, 2009, at 9:50 AM, Kieran Kelleher wrote: Finally!

Re: [OT] Apache rewrite rule
Thanks! That was it. had to add it to the _any_80_.conf file in /etc/apache2/sites/ Man, I read a lot of stuff in a lot of places on mod_rewrite, and nothing mentioned the config files in the sites dir, so I added a bit to the wiki at: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Deployment-Apache Hope it's not too simplistic, but something like that would have saved me some time and angst.

Re: Rewrite Rule
So, if you're going through apache and you have the two patterns set and not commented, it should rewrite. Make sure there is no space or so at the end of the pattern. Also, make sure you're running with the ERXWOContext54 in your classpath if you are using WO 5.4. Set a breakpoint in _rewriteUrl in ERXApplication and see whether it gets hit. If not, check whether the WOContext class you're using is an ERXWOContext and if you are running 5.4, this won't work. Guido -- http://www.event-s.net On 21.

this is what we have in one of our apps. This is on Apache 1.3, though:

Hello list,
Well when Brian Moore said mod_rewrite was voodoo (http://
httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/), I was skeptical, but now I
believe him! I need some help for what I think should be a pretty
simple rewrite rule. I am currently trying to get this to work
initially on my development machine, and I keep getting a 404 Not
Found message from apache (version 2.2.9).
The rule is supposed to take convert URLs like this :
http://localhost/purl/KieranKelleher
and rewrite them like this (on my dev machine):
http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/wa/
PurlAction/purl?p=KieranKelleher
I have added this to the end of my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf just
before the last 2 includes at the end of the file (other/*.conf and
WO apache.conf)
IfModule rewrite_module
# rewrite logging
RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log
# PURL feature
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/purl/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/wa/
PurlAction/purl?p=$1
/IfModule
I can confirm that when I restarted apache it creates the /tmp/
rewrite.log if it does not exist, however nothing gets written there.
I have studied the docs, the wiki docs and many examples. This
looks like it should work, but I cannot for the life of me figure
out why it does not work :-(
Any clues or hints would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kieran

Re: [OT] Apache rewrite rule
if you're rewriting to wo instances, you need to make sure the ordering of your modules is right, too ... in 5.3 (i don't know about 5.4), the order of the modules was wrong -- you have to make mod_webobjects come before mod_rewrite (iirc). ms On Apr 16, 2009, at 9:25 AM, Kieran Kelleher wrote: Hello list, Well when Brian Moore said mod_rewrite was voodoo (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/ ), I was skeptical, but now I believe him!

Re: [OT] Apache rewrite rule
I am using WO 5.3 on leopard with apache 2.2.9. The wo module is coming before rewrite module in httpd.conf: LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/ Apache2.2/mod_WebObjects.so LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so Further investigation shows that each time I try to access the short URL, I see the following error in the apache error_log: [Thu Apr 16 10:12:15 2009] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: / Library/WebServer/Documents/cgi-bin So just maybe the rewrite rule is working but the result may be conflicting with mod_alias which has a scriptalias entry for the wo cgi-bin???

Kieran et al: I just went through some rewrite stuff although it was more related to just getting multiple apps working at different virtual hosts.

Does that ring any bells with anyone?

I need some help for what I think should be a pretty simple rewrite rule. I am currently trying to get this to work initially on my development machine, and I keep getting a 404 Not Found message from apache (version 2.2.9). The rule is supposed to take convert URLs like this : http://localhost/purl/KieranKelleher and rewrite them like this (on my dev machine): http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/wa/PurlAction/purl?p=KieranKelleher I have added this to the end of my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf just before the last 2 includes at the end of the file (other/*.conf and WO apache.conf) IfModule rewrite_module # rewrite logging RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log # PURL feature RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/purl/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/ wa/PurlAction/purl?p=$1 /IfModule I can confirm that when I restarted apache it creates the /tmp/ rewrite.log if it does not exist, however nothing gets written there. I have studied the docs, the wiki docs and many examples. This looks like it should work, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not work :-( Any clues or hints would be appreciated.

Re: [OT] Apache rewrite rule
Thanks Chuck. I added [L] makes sense. Also should your example separate options with commas ... like [L,PT] ? -Kieran On Apr 16, 2009, at 2:22 PM, Chuck Hill wrote: On Apr 16, 2009, at 7:50 AM, Kieran Kelleher wrote: Finally!
