Paths

Added by Andy Z over 12 years ago

Working with nginx the name of spawned fcgi script appears in the uri path, i.e.

[2011-Dec-05 12:42:18.202913] 1960 [/Home.wt Bnp67HnvsPjbhbQG] [path] "/features"

So when hovered a web link shows the following reference in the status bar:

http://localhost/Home.wt/features

however when followed it changes, depending on the browser, to

http://localhost/features

or

http://localhost/#/features

in the address bar.

Obviously, neither of these addresses can be bookmarked or refreshed until script name is present in the path.

So the question is what would be the best way to get a uri free of script.

Hey Andy,

What version of Wt is that ?

RE: Paths - Added by Andy Z over 12 years ago

Howdy, Koen --- it's version 3.2.0 on Fedora 15 platform (nginx 1.0.9). Shall I try any other versions?

Hey Andy,

I'll try to reproduce this. To make sure that I understand, http://localhost/Home.wt/features is really the URL that you would expect as the portable url ?

Hi, Koen --- ideally I would like to make it http://localhost/features . Certainly however I could live with something like http://localhost/wt/features . It could be a setting tweak as well, but the only point is which one :)

Hey,

I think the problem is that you need to specify in your nginx configuration the SCRIPT_NAME parameter (and others):

e.g. this is a sample nginx FastCGI configuration that works for me with the wt-homepage example:

location /wt {
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9091;

        fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

        if ($document_uri ~ "^/wt/(.*)") {
            set $apache_path_info /$1;
        }

        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        /wt;
        fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO      $apache_path_info;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
        fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
        fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;

        fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

        fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
        fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;
    }

Hi, Koen --- yes, I've already set the 'SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;' param which is likely identical to 'SCRIPT_NAME /wt;' providing the script is named 'wt'. This however is not exactly what I needed. But as I understood now it's just another setting param I have to play with to get the desired result. I will look over the set again.

Thank you so much for your time.
