switchmap / Discussion / Open Discussion: .css 404 no found for index.html file

Jared - 2017-04-07

Fairly new to switchmap, however I have it up and running. However I am using Apache to host the index file. When I browse to it locally I can see the stylesheet in a browser no problem. However from another system it does not load the CSS file. I have everything mapped locally in each of the files correctly. However I tried this before on a windows box with ii7 and saw the same issue. No formatting of the page is being done. I swapped over to ubuntu with apache and still have the same issue. Here is how I have everything mapped

/var/www/switchmap is the directoryroot folder
/usr/local/switchmap is where I extracted the files to
/var/local/switchmap is where the statefiles are located

I have tried using both <link href="./var/www/switchmap/SwitchMap.css" rel="stylesheet">
and <link href="/var/www/switchmap/SwitchMap.css" rel="stylesheet">

In the browser it shows up as follows in developer tools
Name/Path
SwitchMap.css
http://x.x.x.x/var/www/switchmap

Result/Description
404 Not Found

Content type
text/html

Initatior/Type
index.html:9 parsedElement

In the index file line 9 is as follows
<link href="/var/www/switchmap/SwitchMap.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Any ideas guys/gals?
Thank you

When I wrote SwitchMap, I put the code in a directory that my web server could access, and the program wrote output files to the "current directory". It was a choice of convenience. It doesn't matter to the web server that there are some non-HTML files in the directory. Later, when I started running the programs from cron jobs, I couldn't rely on the "current directory", so I made the $DestinationDirectory variable in ThisSite.pm, and made all the code write to that directory.

SwitchMap.css is an interesting file - it's needed by the HTML files that are produced by SwitchMap, but it's static. It isn't really an "output file", so the program doesn't write the file to $DestinationDirectory. In other words, SwitchMap is written with the assumption that $DestinationDirectory is the directory that you installed the SwitchMap code in.

It sounds like you have installed SwitchMap in one directory, and you're writing its HTML files to a different directory. So your $DestinationDirectory doesn't contain SwitchMap.css. If this is the case, you can "fix" things by copying SwitchMap.css to the $DestinationDirectory.

A better fix would be to set $DestinationDirectory to directory that you installed SwitchMap in.

Hope this helps.

Pete,

Thanks for repsonding, however I did as you suggested and now everything is under one directory which is as follows:

/var/www/switchmap

I think my issue is with the $DestinationDirectoryRoot in ThisSite.pm. No matter what I set it to, in a browser it still shows http://x.x.x.x/www/switchmap error 404 not found. I followed on guide that said to set it to just '/switchmap'; however then the error is http://x.x.x.x/switchmap error 404 not found.

Here is how I have my ThisSite.pm file configured

$DestinationDirectory = ‘/var/www/switchmap’;

$DestinationDirectoryRoot = ‘/switchmap’;

$StateFileDirectory = ‘/var/www/switchmap’;

I have modified all files i can find that are linked to /ports/web/nets/internal/portlists that I have found so far to /var/www/switchmap.

Site seems to load, but does not load CSS style sheet nor does the top navigation links work either.

Pete,

So I wiped everything and started from scratch. I made directories such as /usr/web/nets/interneral/portlists. However now I am getting Forbidden access when I try to navigate to the site. I'm scratching my head as when it was under /var/www/switchmap I did not get forbidden access, but when I moved everything under /usr/web/nets/internal/portlists now I am getting forbidden access....

  There may be a hint in the apache log files. On my system, they are
  /var/log/apache2/access.log or /var/log/apache2/error.log.
  
  Please check the file permissions on the /usr/web/nets/internal/portlists
  directory. It needs to be readable by "other".
  
  BTW, did you mean /usr/web/nets/interneral/portlists or
  /usr/web/nets/internal/portlists?

Pete,

I meant /usr/web/nets/internal/portlists, quick typing on my part. I rebuild the server as I think it had some lingering issues from when I built it under different directories. Fingers crossed this fixes it.

Pete,

I fixed the permission issue (it was in the apache .conf file). Not sure how that changed, but now I'm back to the begning were even though everything is in /usr/web/nets/internal/portlists I still do not get the correct css stylesheet nor does the navigation links work.. 0_o

I have attached a screen shot of what it looks like from the IE developer tools

So today I am back to where I was at the begining. Which is the CSS styelsheet is not found by apache, and the top navigation links do not work.

Everything is under /usr/web/nets/internal/portlists
ThisSite.pm
$DestinationDirectory = 'usr/web/nets/internal/portlists';

$DestinationDirectoryRoot = '/nets/internal/portlists';

$StateFileDirectory = '/var/local/switchmap';

FindOffice.pl
use lib '/usr/web/nets/internal/portlists';

SearchPortLists.html
<title>Search Port Lists webpages </title>
<link href="/usr/web/nets/internal/portlists/SwitchMap.css" rel="stylesheet">

lower down in the SearchPortLists.html
<form method="Get" action="/usr/web/nets/internal/portlists/FindOffice.pl"> One thing I've found interesting is that in the SwitchUtils.pm file under the "Sub Navigation Bar" section, If I change the following line: my $RootPath = $ThisSite::DestinationDirectoryRoot . '/' . 'index.html'; to the following my $RootPath = 'index.html'; Then I can get the navigation link to work, however once I click the "home" it breaks again. Another thing I found was in this same file under "my $CssFilePath" If give it the absolute path instead of $ThisSite::DestinationDirectoryRoot it seems to work for the first couple of links, however anything with a sub folder does not get the css formatting. So this leads me back to the "ThisSite.pm" file under $DestinationDirectoryRoot with there being some issue. After all of that, any ideas? </form>

we can close this, it was an issue with Apache2. I ended pointing the index file to /var/www/html and that worked just fine... Not sure why editing the /etc/apache2/sites-available/switchmap.conf file didnt work...

but either way it's working now.
