How to make turbogears.url answering something other than "localhost:8080"

[Jorge Godoy]

Hi!


What's the setup that I have to do to be able to pass a relative URL to
"turbogears.url" (for using redirects with CherryPy) and have it include the
hostname, instead of using "localhost"?

Today when I issue a raise
cherrypy.HTTPRedirect(turbogears.url("/relative_url/")) it redirects me to
"http://localhost:8080/relative_url" instead of
"http://my.site.com/relative_url". If I hardcode the URL and use
cherrypy.HTTPRedirect("http://my.site.com/relative_url/") it works perfectly,
but then I loose the ability of "moving" things around easily (well, I need a
"sed" script to fix this for the production server, but that's just it...).


Thanks in advance,

Jorge, what version are you running? I haven't been having this
problem, though I've been using an IP address on 0.8a4.

You should be able to set server.webpath in your config file to
http://my.site.com

Yes.

I've tried that. It then replaces the URL with something like:
http://localhost:8080/http://my.site.com instead of http://my.site.com/ only.

Try the baseURLFilter:

baseUrlFilter.on=True
baseUrlFilter.baseUrl = "http://my.site.com"

cherrypy.HTTPRedirect(turbogears.url("/relative_url/")) should then
work.

Sounds like a bug. Can you drop that into the trac and set the milestone to 0.9?

Thanks,

Hello there,

I believe I might be experiencing the same bug. I'm running TurboGears
(latest stable version) behind Apache and mod_python via mpcp. My
problem is not with redirects though, but that I can't place the
application anywhere except on the virtual host root.

I want to place my application on a path like
http://www.server.is/application/ - but I get an 404 with the following
traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/CherryPy-2.1.0-py2.4.egg/cherrypy/_cphttptools.py",
line 271, in run
main()
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/CherryPy-2.1.0-py2.4.egg/cherrypy/_cphttptools.py",
line 497, in main
page_handler, object_path, virtual_path = mapPathToObject(path)
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/CherryPy-2.1.0-py2.4.egg/cherrypy/_cphttptools.py",
line 748, in mapPathToObject
raise cherrypy.NotFound(path)
NotFound: 404: The path '/timaskraning/' was not found.

I've tried both baseUrlFilter and server.webpath, I even tried adding
the Cp-Location header to the request in httpd.conf. Nothing helps..

Am I doing something wrong?

Hmmm... I haven't read Kevin's message. I'll post it to Trac.

Arnar, can you add your comments later? I'll post the ticket number here.

Hi Arnar,

It sounds like there are two things in your case:

1) you should use the url function to make sure that the server path
gets added to URLs in your program
2) the url function has a bug that needs fixing (which is the ticket
Jorge opened).

I seem to have "fixed" my problem, don't know if it's the proper way
or I just stumbled upon a workaround.

My site works by adding the following filter to my controllers _cpFilterList:

class VirtualPathFilter(object):
def beforeRequestBody(self):
if cherrypy.config.get("virtualPathFilter.on", False):
prefix = cherrypy.config.get("virtualPathFilter.prefix", "")
if prefix:
path = cherrypy.request.path
if path == prefix:
path = "/"
elif path.startswith(prefix):
path = path[len(prefix):]
cherrypy.request.path = path

and the following to my config:

virtualPathFilter.on = True
virtualPathFilter.prefix = "/timaskraning"

To get ${std.url(...)} to work I had to set this also:
server.webpath="timaskraning"

I'll post my stack-trace above and a reference to this thread in the ticket.
