did you configure your webserver to allow the static files to be served with folder versioning ?

as a quick way to restore things as they were is to remove this line

https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/applications/admin/models/0.py#L84

from the file.

But, you'll be missing quite an important feature.

I am using apache-wsgi-web2py . Should I   config static  file in apache config files  for all app in web2py applications ?

you should use another syntax to have static files served with static_version enabled.

https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh#L110

For the ones not really accustomed with regexes, all we're trying to do is the following
We have a file ....
/appname/static/abc.css

we want to serve it as
/appname/static/abc.css
AND as
/appname/static/_1.2.3/abc.css
OR
/appname/static/_2.3.1/abc.css
etc etc

so....

AliasMatch ^/([^/]+)/static/(?:_[\d]+.[\d]+.[\d]+/)?(.*) /home/www-data/web2py/applications/$1/static/$2

The bold red part is what has been "added" to web2py's scripts to make apache serve the same file if there is a _number.number.number "prefix" just right after "static".

Thank you for the explanation, Niphlod.  I've updated my AliasMatch, and that is working for me.

Hi Niphlop

It is not working for me.

I change AliasMatch to this

Ange   AliasMatch ^/([^/]+)/static/(?:_[\d]+.[\d]+.[\d]+/)?(.*) \

           /var/web2py/applications/$1/static/$2

  <Directory /var/web2py/applications/*/static/>

    Order Allow,Deny

    Allow from all

  </Directory>

Bu I have to remove 
https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/applications/admin/models/0.py#L84

To make it work . do you see any error in my config example

Thanks

/F

[Niphlod]

you have some other error elsewhere or you didn't restart apache after the change. It works flawlessly.

[frasse]

I have restart my apache. The only change I have in my web2py configration is in routes.py and it is like this

routers = dict(

    # base router
    BASE = dict(
        default_application = 'myapp',
     default_controller = 'start',
    ),
)

can this be a problem ?

Thanks

Same thing here, even with the new alias and restarting apache the admin doesn't look as it should be.

[Niphlod]

it shouldn't, but did you remove that to see if it's indeed the problem ?

[Niphlod]

please, try to fetch i.e. the calendar.css from this pseudo-location with any browser

/welcome/static/css/calendar.css

and then from

/welcome/static/_1.2.3/css/calendar.css

if both work, then the new admin is not responsible. If only the former works, then your apache config has a problem.

[Tim Richardson]

I have this problem as well on an apache ubuntu installation. The deployment was done a couple of months ago using the setup script, so I've not made any changes to apache configuration. admin just stopped working.

this retrieves the css displayed in the browser

/welcome/static/_1.2.3/css/calendar.css

this is a 404 error.

O

AliasMatch ^/([^/]+)/static/(?:_[\d]+.[\d]+.[\d]+/)?(.*) /home/www-data/web2py/applications/$1/static/$2

This fixes the problem. I looked at the latest contents of the apache script and modified /etc/apache2/sites-available/web2py accordingly.

I made changes to two lines: both in the *:80 section and the *.443 section 

[Niphlod]

perfect.

@all: should web2py ship with the revised aliases for any scripts that involves statics to be served off a webserver ? I think it's the right time to do so...

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Let's discuss this on web2py developers.
