AW: Re: [opencms-dev] Static export without RFS-prefix doesn't work

Fri Jan 21 18:38:02 CET 2005

Michael,

thanks, it now works. There is only one more problem with this method, which
I think is really a bug now. I have some pure folder links, e.g. in the
source file on OpenCms href="/sites/software/latex/", which should be
translated to say href="../../latex/" during static export with relative
links enabled. But OpenCms does not write any link there, it comes out as
href="".

Of course I can work-around this problem by modifying my sources and always
adding "index.html" if there is a pure folder link, so that the above link
would be href="/sites/software/latex/index.html" in OpenCms, this works then
in static export, it is correctly displayed as
href="../../latex/index.html". But is this supposed to be like this? I don't
think so.

Thanks again for your help!
Regards
Ulrich

Hello Ulrich,

the static export must be done to a folder that is within your webaplication
folder in tomcat.

So you might add some rewriting rules to your apache that it will access the
files to the export folder.

One possible way to get rid of the /opencms/opencms/ in the path of the
exported resources:

Add a "exportpath" property to your "/sites/default/ folder (assuming that
you are working in the default site) and set it to "/"
-> the effect is that you have no "/sites/default/ in path anymore

In the "opencms-importexport.xml set the note

<userelativelinks>true</userelativelinks>

to true.

-> the effect is that all the linking between the exported resources is done
with relative links and you have no /opencms/opencms/ in them anymore.
Those files will then be usable completely without OpenCms and could be
transferred to a bitterent server, a CD or whatever.

Hi Michael,

sorry to bother you again, but this is still not what I need to achieve.
Maybe I should summarise quickly:

I want to export my resources on a WinXP box to a path like F:/webroot/,
which is the root directory of my Apache HTTP server. So I set

<exportpath>F:/webroot</exportpath>

Tim seems to want the same thing only on a Linux box, so he would set
something like

<exportpath>/var/www/html/</exportpath>

Now, as this is the Apache HTTP webserver root, we both need to achieve that
the links in our exported resouces have no leading "/opencms/opencms".
Therefore I set

<rfs-prefix/>

Exactly this configuration leads to a 404 error when exporting template
resources, i.e. resources with links. Exporting non-template resources (e.g.
images) works fine, because no cms:link functionality is needed.

This behaviour is what I think is a bug in OpenCms alpha 3.

I wish you nevertheless a nice weekend!

Regards
Ulrich

Sorry, i had a lapsus...

Here is my conf for exporting to the root of the tomcat webapp context:
<exportpath>.</exportpath>
...
<rfs-prefix>${CONTEXT_NAME}</rfs-prefix>

I hope it helps

No, I tried this already, also leads to a 404 error... :-(
