URL function in admin app adds "/_2.17.1/" to path variable

[Jörg Schneider]

After downloading 2.17.1 from Github I get wrong static URLs in the admin application:

response.files.insert(0,URL('static','js/jquery.js')) in web2py_ajax.js resolves the URL to <script src="/admin/static/_2.17.1/js/jquery.js" which results in 404-errors for all static files for the admin application.

There is no routes.py in the root folder and other installed applications work properly

Hello, look at db.py ... probably you have uncommented these lines:

# response.static_version = myconf.get('app.version')
# response.static_version_urls = True

You made my day!!! It were this lines in 0.py

Hahaha, RTFM! I'm always finding new things in this book even I thought I've seen all chapters...

The admin app uses the built-in static versioning functionality, as described here: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#Static-asset-management. You may need to configure your web server properly to handle those URLs, as described in the above link.

Which webserver are you using?  Is it the Rocket webserver that ships with Web2Py, or Apache, or NginX, or IIS?

Are you trying to use routes.py?   You may not need to.  From the book reference that Anthony pointed to, it apears that you can deal with everything in your models (e.g., db.py).  The book also has examples for Apache and NginX.  I don't see anything in routes.py itself as an example for rewriting, so the support for the model-based handling must be in the response code itself.

Hi,

Im using lighttpd. Default deploy example from manual doesnt allow css files to load becasue of the version control of static files i understand, correct me if im wrong.

Finally ive got it working using this:

    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/admin/" {

         url.rewrite-once = (

               "^(/.+?/static)/(.*)/$" => "/applications$1/$2",

               "(^|/.*)$" => "/handler_web2py.fcgi$1",

         )

Dont know if that is correct but it works.

Cheers,
