CKAN Frontend doesn't load urls correctly with reverse proxy

[stephenmarkh]

Good Afternoon all,

I have an Nginx reverse proxy serving CKAN from a URL such as www.example.com/ckan. I can access the link but none of the backend website files are loading in the browser and I get a very broken display.  Here are some details of my environment:

• nginx/1.20.0
  
• ckan/2.9.5 running in docker container exposed port 5000
• production.ini settings I modified
  • ckan.site_url  = https://example.com/
  • ckan.root_path = /ckan/{{LANG}}

Attached screenshots of the site rendering in the browser,  http errors from browser, and a snippit of my nginx config.

Hi,
Have you tried ending your proxy_pass line with a trailing slash, i.e.
http://ckan/;

Best,
Matt

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the reply! I have tried both with and without the slash on my Nginx config. Also, that screenshot is the same issue I get when I access CKAN without going through the proxy. If I curl <$CKAN_HOST_IP>:5000 I still receive 404's for all the .js and .css.files after making the ckan.root_path configurations. I tailed the logs of the ckan container and saw errors to where it looked like maybe the requests were trying to locate the webasset files that are located @ /var/lib/ckan/webassets at /ckan on the container. So I exec'd into the container and created a symbolic link from / ckan -> /var/lib/ckan, which still didn't fix my issue.

Regards,

Mark
