Hi, Andrew! You can use Tomcat + Apache/Nginx for this purpose. In order to make it root application in Tomcat, install XWiki as ROOT application. Also, refer Short URL manual at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs Don't do "binless" path, because WYSIWYG editor won't work correctly due to https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8737 Hope it is worth to be fixed in 5.x cycle :-) Вторник, 19 февраля 2013, 16:30 -08:00 от Andrew Havens <andrewh@copiousinc.com>:

Now that I've got XWiki up and running, how can I configure Tomcat or whatever so that it's available at the root on port 80 instead of wiki.example.com:8080/xwiki?

Thanks, Andrew _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Kind regards, Dmitry

Hello, For Tomcat running on port 80, take a look at tomcat/conf/server.xml, and replace 8080 connector by 80. But of course, it's advisable to not run Tomcat in front-end (ie port 80), Apache or nginx are much better for that role :-) And about dropping 'xwiki' application name, just install xwiki webapp in tomcat/webapps/ROOT (you may need to make a backup of the old ROOT directory).

Thanks, Andrew _______________________________________________

depending on your operating system, you can use authbind to run on port 80 without requiring apache/nginx/why as a proxy

you could also use haproxy as a proxy

So when you mentioned "accessible from the root path of the domain", you only wanted a have a redirection, right? We (at least I) understood that you wanted to have URL like that:

http://wiki.yourdomain.com/bin/view/Main/

instead of

http://wiki.yourdomain.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/

If you only wanted to use a redirection, then sure, Apache is the quickest method to use. In the case you absolutely wanted to use Tomcat as front-end, you could use UrlRewrite For Tomcat<http://www.tuckey.org/urlrewrite/>. It's like an implementation of mod_rewrite, for Tomcat. Enjoy your wiki! Guillaume 2013/2/20 Andrew Havens <andrewh@copiousinc.com>

I was able to accomplish what I wanted (remove the port from the url and make it accessible from the root path of the domain. Here's what I did (on Ubuntu linux):

install apache: sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork enable some apache modules: sudo a2enmod proxy_http Create a virtual host file in /etc/apache2/sites-available with the following contents:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName wiki.yourdomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory "/var/www/"> Options -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Allow from all </Directory> RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://wiki.yourdomain.com/xwiki/ ProxyPass /xwiki http://localhost:8080/xwiki ProxyPassReverse /xwiki http://localhost:8080/xwiki </VirtualHost>

4. restart apache: sudo service apache2 restart _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
