[Webware-devel] How do you tell the WebKit where your app's directories are?

From: Ben Kovitz <bkovitz@ac...> - 2003-10-18 01:51

Hi, folks.  I'm sorry to ask such an idiotic question.  I've looked 
through the documentation, the configuration files, and the source code to 
some extent, but I still haven't found the answer.  If I had an ounce of 
intelligence, I'm sure I would have figured this out by now. 
 
I'd like to set up the directory structure suggested at: 
 
http://webware.colorstudy.com/twiki/bin/view/Webware/MakeAppWorkDir 
 
where the web application is outside the /Webware tree, but how do you 
tell Webware where the top of the app's directory structure is? 
 
Miraculously, I can run the examples, but I have no idea how Webware finds 
them.  It's weird: it works if I access 
http://my.domain/WK/anything-at-all/Welcome.  The path element after WK 
makes no difference! 
 
I'm running on Linux with Apache.  I've tried changing WEBKIT_DIR in 
/etc/init.d/webkit, but of course that points to the Webware directory.  
If I change that, then nothing works. 
 
I doubt that this is relevant, but I've got this in my httpd.conf: 
 
<Location /WK> 
    WKServer localhost 8086 
    SetHandler webkit-handler 
</Location>

P.S. I've only been using Webware for two days, but I *love* everything 
I've seen so far!  I especially love the extremely modular structure, and 
so many small things are already worked out so nicely, like being able to 
have URLs that don't end in ".psp".  I've just got this one point of 
confusion...

Look in Configs/Application.config, the 'Contexts' setting.

Thanks, this worked!  You are truly an officer and a gentleman! 
 
 
I ran into various miscellaneous things after that but I managed 
to figure them out.  I would be happy to update the install 
guide to hopefully steer others to a smooth installation. 
 
One thing threw me: I wasn't expecting a configuration file to 
be in the /Webware/WebKit directory tree.  The activity and 
error log files are also there (by default, anyway).  Does this 
mean that when I update Webware to a new version, it will wipe 
out my config file unless I've saved a backup?

It is better to use the MakeAppWorkdir script to seperate your code
from Webware's.
