[ckan-dev] Installation of CKAN and Wordpress on one single server

[Stefan Oderbolz]

Hi Stephan,

this is definitely possible. We are running CKAN on Port 8080 and our
PHP-based CMS on Port 80 using Apache for both (see vhost below).

Apache vhost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName ckan.lo
      DocumentRoot /vagrant/web
      <Directory "/var/www">
        AllowOverride All
        Options FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
      </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

  <VirtualHost *:8080>
        ServerName ckan.lo

        WSGIScriptAlias / /etc/ckan/default/apache.wsgi

        # pass authorization info on (needed for rest api)
        WSGIPassAuthorization On

          # Deploy as a daemon (avoids conflicts between CKAN instances)
          WSGIDaemonProcess ckan_default display-name=ckan_default
processes=2 threads=15
          WSGIProcessGroup ckan_default
 </VirtualHost>


We then use mod_rewrite to proxy calls from one port to the other:

In .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule
 ^((de/|en/|it/|fr/)?(packages|package|dataset|resource|related|revision|licenses|rating|ckan-admin|user|login_generic|harvest|activity|dashboard|api|search|storage|feeds|fanstatic|images|base)(.*))$
 http://127.0.0.1:8080/$1  [P]

This means e.g. <DOMAIN>/about is served by our PHP-based CMS, but
<DOMAIN>/de/dataset is internally proxied to
http://127.0.0.1:8080/de/dataset and then served to the user by CKAN
(without him noticing that the answer is actually coming from another port).

Note that the above regex is not complete, as we don't allow access to all
CKAN routes to our users (e.g. groups are missing).

Regards
Stefan
