[ckan-dev] How to configure CKAN under a non-root path

Fri Jan 29 12:20:33 UTC 2016

Hi Luis, I asks one of our devs to take a look. His response below might
help :)

@Steven , i found the problem, but don't think that there is any elegant
solution.
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/ckan-2.5.1/ckan/lib/helpers.py#L274-L300
- in this code the following happens:
0. 274 - get environment variable - url of ckan instance
1. 277-284 - ignored
2. 287-299 - replace locale in root_path directive
3. 300 - join of ckan_url, prefix from root_path and target url. First two
items in this action are the reason of duplication

so they should either remove directive ckan.root_path because it will
always be used with environment variable or use something like pure
ckan.root_path = /{{LANG}}/
