[opencms-dev] 2 problem after removing /opencms/opencms/ from URL

[Chris Tiernan]

Thanks Christian.  You were correct.  It appears the Alkacon
documentation for the "Apache Config Howto" I was reading is not
entirely accurate.  The documentation shows the following example for
making changes to the opencms-importexport.xml file as...

<rendersettings>
      <rfs-prefix>/export</rfs-prefix>
      <vfs-prefix>${SERVLET_NAME}</vfs-prefix>
      <userelativelinks>false</userelativelinks>
 
<exporturl>http://127.0.0.1:8080${SERVLET_NAME}/handle404</exporturl>
      ...
</rendersettings>

When I think it should actually read...

<rendersettings>
       <rfs-prefix>${CONTEXT_NAME}/export</rfs-prefix>
       <vfs-prefix>${CONTEXT_NAME}</vfs-prefix>
       <userelativelinks>false</userelativelinks>			
       <exporturl>http://127.0.0.1:8080 ${CONTEXT_NAME}
/handle404</exporturl>
       ...
</rendersettings>
 
Making the change has solved my problem. Can anyone confirm this is the
correct configuration?

Then it seems, that you have only removed the first /opencms/ and not
the complete /opencms/opencms/ - If your reconfiguration would have
worked then you would not even be able to login under
http://youdomain/opencms/system/login/

I don't use all this proxying and/or rewrite stuff, but you really have
to check your apache config again. And whatever you try - the workplace
URL in your opencms-system.xml must be the correct URL prefix through
which opencms can be reached.
