[ckan-dev] Wordpress and CKAN

Sun Feb 23 22:00:53 UTC 2014

Hi,

for opendata.admin.ch[1] we basically did the same as Reinier by using the
same templates/css for both parts, but we used SymfonyCMF [2]. But instead
of having two separate domains we used the mod_proxy of Apache [3], to
redirect the CKAN-specific requests.

So on our server there are 2 webservers running, the one for SymfonyCMF on
port 80, and the one for CKAN on port 8080.
Using mod_proxy we simply forward the requests to /dataset or /organization
to the internally running webserver on port 8080.

This makes it transparent for the user and he doesn't even recognize that
he changes back and forth between the two running servers.
