Building an application without redirect

[Thomas Sandmann]

Dear Rook users,

I am running a Rook application through RApache (see Builder code below).

The application can be reached at http://myApp/index.rhtml

Pointing the browser to the base url http://myApp , on the other hand, returns the following html page:

OK
The document has moved here.
Apache/2.2.10 (Linux/SUSE) Server at 72.34.137.188 Port 7670

My users have to click on the "here" link to be redirected to http://myApp/index.rhtml.

Is there a way to use http://myApp without showing the redirection page first ?

Here's what I already tried:

1. I added "index.rhtml" to the DirectoryIndex section of my apache2 httpd.conf file, but I still get the redirect page.
   
2. I removed the Redirect$new('/index.rhtml') line from my Builder call, but that leads to the following error:

Error in app$call(env) : attempt to apply non-function

Here's the code I use to build my application:

url.root = "/testserver/htdocs"

myApp <-Builder$new(

  Static$new(

    urls = c('/css','/img','/js'),

    root = url.root

  ),

  Static$new(urls='/results',

             root=tempdir()

  ),

  Brewery$new(

    url='/',

    root=url.root,

    resultpath=tempdir()

  ),

  Redirect$new('/index.rhtml')

)

Thanks a lot for any help,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I've upgraded both Rook and rApache to fix this issue. The new version of rApache is 1.2.2. I presume you know how to upgrade.

To upgrade Rook to 1.0-9, which is not on CRAN yet, use the devtools package and issue:

install_github('Rook','jeffreyhorner')

while you are the root user, as you want rApache to see that upgraded package as well.

Hope this fixes it.

Oh , and you definitely want the Redirect line.
