[xwiki-devs] Short Urls - configuration

Hi, yesterday I'v set up a new wiki (with the new Milestone 2). I've followed the instructions to set up short urls: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs with one difference. Instead of using mod_redirect for the Apache HTTPD I'm using mod_proxy and mod_rewrite so that an url www.mydomain.com/docs -> (internal-ip) 192.168.1.n/appContext The effect is that from the internet only the new naming schema is visible and not the default 'long' url resolution. This works fine so far, except for one issue: In all cases where xwiki generates redirection urls like this example for "Logout" /docs/logout/XWiki/XWikiLogout?xredirect=http://www.mydomain.com/appContext/docs/XWik/aha What's wrong IMHO is "appContext" - part of the ?xredirect - this exposes the internal webapppath back to the caller. I have configured the xwiki.cfg to not using the appPath: xwiki.webapppath=/ but this setting is not used, instead the deployment webappPath is used for ?xredirect. In all other cases (except the ?xredirect) the configured webapppath seems to be used correctly. This is my configuration: in xwiki.cfg: xwiki.webapppath=/ (because this is handled by mod_rewrite) xwiki.defaultservletpath=docs/ (use "docs" instead of "bin") xwik.showviewaction=0 in web.xml param-value of "redirectHomeServlet" to http://www.mydomain.com/docs/Main and added a <servlet-mapping> pattern for "action" to /docs/* for completeness here's the mod_rewrite <VirtualHost> configuration (Ubuntu) <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.mydomain.com ServerAdmin wiki(a)mydomain.com RewriteEngine On RewriteLog /var/log/wiki_rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 2 CustomLog /var/log/wiki_custom.log common ErrorLog /var/log/wiki_error.log # use [P] for Proxy and NOT [R] for redirect ! RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/appContext/$1 [L,P,E=proxy_ok:1] ProxyPreserveHost On </VirtualHost> and this is the mod_proxy <IfModule mod_proxy.c> #turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow #spammers to use your proxy to send email.
