[ckan-dev] mounting CKAN at a non-root URL

Fri Aug 14 07:40:28 UTC 2015

Hello Nigel,
thank you for your answer.
I can not link you the site because it is offline (virtual machine for 
experiments).

This is the output you asked:
{"Help": "Return a dictionary with information about the site's 
configuration.", "Success": true, "result": {"ckan_version": "2.1a", 
"site_url": "http: //catalog.data .gov "," site_description ":" "," 
SITE_TITLE ":" Data.gov "," error_emails_to ":" 
catalog-notification at googlegroups.com "," locale_default ":" en "," 
extensions ": [" geodatagov "," datagov_harvest "," 
geodatagov_geoportal_harvester "," z3950_harvester "," arcgis_harvester 
"," waf_harvester_collection "," geodatagov_csw_harvester "," 
geodatagov_doc_harvester "," geodatagov_waf_harvester "," 
spatial_metadata "," spatial_query "," resource_proxy "," 
spatial_harvest_metadata_api ", "recline_preview", "pdf_preview", 
"googleanalytics", "SAML2", "datajson", "datajson_harvest", "archiver", 
"qa", "ckan_harvester", "report", "broken_link_report", "datagovtheme", 
"extlink "]}}

I send you the contents of ckan file (/etc/apache2/sites-availables/ckan):

### Abilitare FCGI http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html

    # Uncomment the following line if cgi.fix_pathinfo is set to 1 in

### fine inserimento FCGI

         ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

         # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
         # alert, emerg.

         LogLevel warn
         CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

And finally, the row that contains "data-site-root" and 
"data-locale-root" in source of the page:

<body data-site-root="http://localhost:7000/" 
data-locale-root="http://localhost:7000/" >

I tried to manually edit the file "base.html" and to change the 
'data-site-root' and 'data-locale-root', but did not work and I have 
restored the original version:
ORIGINAL: <body{% block bodytag %} data-site-root="{{ h.url('/', 
locale='default', qualified=true) }}" data-locale-root="{{ h.url('/', 
qualified=true) }}" {% endblock %}>
RESULT: <body data-site-root="http://localhost:7000/" 
data-locale-root="http://localhost:7000/" >
CHANGED (but now restored): <body{% block bodytag %} data-site-root="{{ 
h.url('/ckan', locale='default', qualified=true) }}" 
data-locale-root="{{ h.url('/ckan', qualified=true) }}" {% endblock %}>
RESULT: <body data-site-root="http://localhost:7000/ckan" 
data-locale-root="http://localhost:7000/ckan" > (do not work)

Note: that "localhost:7000" is only redirection used by VirtualBox ( the 
server CKAN runs, on the virtual machine, on port 5000)
Thanks for your help.
