[xwiki-users] some help needed: short URLs
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... <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected] 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 </VirtualHost> 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
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.

Ricardo,

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.

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/ (this cares for redirects emitted by tomcat) But I am still fearing you'll get some bad links Paul

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's the tomcat doing the redirect right now (use firebug, go to net,

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.

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!

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?). Paul

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!

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!

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

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?).
Paul
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm/
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'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/ (this cares for redirects emitted by tomcat)
But I am still fearing you'll get some bad links
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...
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!

Ricardo,

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.

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 On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 9:13 PM Paul Libbrecht <[email protected]> wrote:

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!

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?).
Paul
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/atriumkm/
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'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/ (this cares for redirects emitted by tomcat)
But I am still fearing you'll get some bad links
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...
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!

Ricardo,

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.
The shortURLs experience thus far has been based on that.
For your vhost, you "just" need to change:

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

[IDIS Technical Secretariat] Ricardo Rodríguez <mailto:[email protected]> 10 décembre 2015 11:36 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...
