Re: [VuFind-Tech] Serving VuFind from the root (withou /vufind)

Ahh, yes, that makes sense - the path should not have a trailing slash on it, so for a root installation, it needs to be a blank string.  Thanks for the reminder!

We configured our instance to run from root, and if I recall correctly, encountered the problem experienced below.  Resolved by configuring web/conf/config.ini in the following manner.

[Site]
path            =
url             = http://discover.hsp.org


Thanks very much!

I can't think of a good reason why setting path to "/" should break the system.  Perhaps there is a bug somewhere.  Exactly what happens when you do that?

Strangely the path needs to be set to same as the whole url. Setting it as "/" breaks the system.
## WRONG, this breaks the system
path         = /
url             = http://eviikki.hulib.helsinki.fi

## RIGHT, this works
path         = http://eviikki.hulib.helsinki.fi
url             = http://eviikki.hulib.helsinki.fi


Now it seems to work, thanks a lot!

Hi Mika,

I believe that is controlled by the settings in config.ini.

You may also need to empty the cache and compile folders in web/interface.

Thanks,

Luke

Thanks for the tip.

I actually managed to the extent, that the main page is served from the root. But after I click search, the url changes to
http://my_base_url/vufind/Search/Results?lookfor=&type=AllFields&submit=Find,

so the vufind appears on the post link. But again, If I click on a record link, the browser points to:
http://my_base_url/Record/2204433, which is correct.

So my question is: how can I remove the /vufind/ section from the search forms, post link?

thanks,
Mika

Hi Mika,

You'll have to edit the httpd-vufind.conf file in the vufind root folder and config.ini in vufind/web/Conf

Have a look at http://vufind.org/wiki/installing_multiple_instances#edit_httpd-vufind.conf for some helpful details.

I hope this helps,

Luke

Hi,

Im trying to serve vufind from Apache root, without having to put the /vufind at the end of url. What kind of configuration would I have to make?

thanks,
Mika
