Is is possible to redirect base url '/' to a mounted application at /xyz via config

[ARN NN]

Hi,

If I have an app mounted at say : '/xyz'

I want that when users invoke url '/' via browser, I want it to redirect to '/xyz'

Is this possible via config  ?

I tried doing it by adding a config section to my app :

[/] 

tools.redirect.on = true

tools.redirect.url = "/xyz"

but this didn't work. Any idea whats wrong and how to fix ?

thanks in advance

n.ar.

I tried your example, but it led to a redirect loop.

I had success with the following code:


#!/usr/bin/env python3

import cherrypy

class Website:
@cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
raise cherrypy.HTTPRedirect("/xyz")

@cherrypy.expose
def xyz(self):
return "Hello from xyz"

if __name__ == "__main__":
cherrypy.quickstart(Website(), "/")

Best solution for a production instance is to use a suitable frontend  proxy server (e.g. nginx or apache) to handle such things.
