how to build angular-dspace 7.2 subfolder for url localhost:4000/dspace

[hosk...@gmail.com]

Hi;

we have deploy dspace 7 backend and works well in localhost

we are trying to install dspace frontend on the same banckend server. and make it accessible from localhost:4000/dspace

( compile dspace-angular with the following parameters: ssl:false host: localhost port: 4000 nameSpace: /dspace baseUrl: '/dspace/' )

the compilation generates a dist/server directory.

the dspace ui does not work properly and generates 500 errors.

we noticed that the baseUrl and nameSpace values are not taken into consideration.

the generated urls are localhost:4000/dspace/dspace/statistic... instead of loaclhost:4000/dspace/statistic .....

at each url the '/dspace/' part is repeated

how to configure dspacce-angular baseurl and href to have dspace ui accessible with the url localhost:4000/dspace

thanks for help

Unfortunately, it's a known issue that the "nameSpace" configuration in DSpace 7 UI is not working properly.  See this prior question on dspace-tech: https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/YD5x0IGSuGc/m/D6GQcQUkBgAJ

It's logged as a bug here: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/145 

An initial attempt to fix it is at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/1488  (this fix doesn't fully work yet)

Unfortunately, though, this has proven hard than anticipated and we don't have a fix available yet.  The DSpace UI works perfectly fine as long as "nameSpace" is kept at the default value of "/".  Currently, we don't have a way to easily support subpaths for the UI.

thanks for the details. we would like to deploy dspace in a subpath because we have the old dspace6 accessible from suburl  https://domain.ex/dspace

thanks.
