[naviserver-devel] Changing pageroot

[David O. <da...@qc...>]

Hi again,

In Aolserver we used to change pageroot in the config as so:
ns_param pageroot /new/page/root

Should the same work in Naviserver?
ns_info pageroot is returning /usr/local/ns/pages no matter what I put in
the config for pageroot (built from the latest version in bitbucket).
Trying to work out if this is a config error or a code difference... any
pointers?

Thanks,
- David

It's "pagedir" rather than "pageroot", and it's relative to the server 
root for virtual hosts (it can still be absolute).  The documentation 
appears to be not up to date on this item.

hmm, i found two occurrences of  "nsparam pageroot", and 
changed these.

% egrep -R "ns_param *pageroot" *
openacs-config.tcl:    ns_param   pageroot        $pageroot
tests/http-test-config.tcl:ns_param   pageroot        $pageroot

i have added as well "ns_info pagedir" as an alias for 
"ns_info pageroot".
One should mark the latter as deprecated.

Thanks Jeff and Gustaf.

I found that setting pagedir had no effect under the server section (as is
in the newly changed tests/http-test-config.tcl file) eg:

ns_section "ns/server/${server_name}"
ns_param        pagedir             $pageroot

But if I added a subsequent fastpath section and added it there instead
then it worked. Is this what would be expected?

ns_section     "ns/server/${server_name}/fastpath"
ns_param        pagedir             $pageroot

Hi David, i think, this is intentional.
all config options for serving static files are under

ns/server/${servername}/fastpath

see:
https://bitbucket.org/naviserver/naviserver/src/d34fc2681cf1fb4dec89b7172d09a187c37efe32/sample-config.tcl.in?at=default#cl-301

In general, add this to your config:

ns_section "ns/parameters"
ns_param   logdev          true

And the log file will tell you exactly which config parameters are
being accessed, with which values and types, what the defaults are,
etc.  It's worthwhile doing this just because config files tend to
accumulate cruft after a while.
