RedMine over Passenger -- Access to public

Added by Paul Bilokon almost 14 years ago

Hi all,

I have set up RedMine over Passenger on Apache.

Here is my Apache configuration:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.thalesians.com
    DocumentRoot /www/html/www.thalesians.com

    <Location /projects>
        RailsEnv production
        RailsBaseURI /projects
        PassengerAppRoot /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects
    </Location>

    <Directory /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects/public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

RedMine is physically installed under /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects.

Now my problem is that all the links generated by RedMine are like this : "/projects/stylesheets/foo.css", "/projects/images/bar.png", whereas they should be "/projects/stylesheets/public/foo.css", "/projects/images/public/bar.png".

Therefore the stylesheets and images don't get displayed.

Changing

/www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects/config/additional_environment.rb

so that

config.action_controller.relative_url_root = "/projects"

becomes

config.action_controller.relative_url_root = "/projects/public"

introduces other problems (then it expects everything to be under /projects/public). Is there a way to fix this problem without copying the contents of /projects/public to /projects?

Many thanks,
Paul

Please read the passenger documentation (http://www.modrails.com), the public directory of a rails app is supposed to be served under the URL you expect the app to be under, not under THE_APP_URL/public. Make sure to read and understand the documentation, but off the top of my head, something like that should work:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.thalesians.com
    DocumentRoot /www/html/www.thalesians.com

    <Directory /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects>
        Options None
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Argh too quick, next try:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.thalesians.com
    DocumentRoot /www/html/www.thalesians.com
    Alias /projects /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects/public

    <Directory /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects/public>
        Options None
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The preferred solution though would be to leave your redmine installation out of your DocumentRoot, say in /www/app/www.thalesians.com/redmine, and to link /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects to /www/app/www.thalesians.com/redmine/public. Passenger should recognize that http://www.thalesians.com/projects is a "link" to the public directory of a rails app and will serve it accordingly. In that case, go with:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.thalesians.com
    DocumentRoot /www/html/www.thalesians.com

    <Directory /www/html/www.thalesians.com/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory /www/html/www.thalesians.com/projects>
        Options None
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

(again, all off the top of my head, DO read the documentation an make sure to UNDERSTAND it!)
