hi,

i have installed openproject on a CentOS server in /home/openproject/openproject to be served via apache/passenger in a subdirectory like this: http://1.2.3.4/openproject

with a litlle fiddling i made it work with the suggestions from https://www.openproject.org/topics/1340 and https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#deploying_rack_to_sub_uri.

This let me run openproject through the subdirectory, however the generated css files contain wrong paths to the web assets like fonts and images. For example
default-[HASH].css is correctly loaded through http://1.2.3.4/openproject/assets/default-[HASH].css but it contains this CSS:

@font-face{
font-family:"LatoLight";
src:url(/assets/lato/Lato-Lig-webfont-ce304c9c1de225bd631232a7050644b9.eot);
src:
    url(/assets/lato/Lato-Lig-webfont.eot?#iefix) format("embedded-opentype"),
    url(/assets/lato/Lato-Lig-webfont-91b91c476db37a67760fa2947f741196.ttf) format("truetype"),
    url(/assets/lato/Lato-Lig-webfont.svg#untitled-font-1) format("svg"),
    url(/assets/lato/Lato-Lig-webfont-8da994d0cd00558a03e543da3bec79d7.woff) format("woff");
font-weight:normal;
font-style:normal}

where it would map to http://1.2.3.4/assets/lato/Lato-Lig-webfont.eot?#iefix which does not exist.
with a subdirectory deployment this should either be a relative URL like url(lato/Lato-Lig-webfont-ce304c9c1de225bd631232a7050644b9.eot) or url(/openproject/assets/lato/Lato-Lig-webfont-ce304c9c1de225bd631232a7050644b9.eot).

for my first try i hadn’t set rails_relative_url_root: "/openproject" in configuration.yml but even after i changed the config and executed RAILS_ENV="production" bundle exec rake assets:precompile that didn’t change. i even moved the whole public/assets-folder somewhere else and let it recompile, to no avail.

I managed to fix it by setting an alias in the apache config:

Alias /assets /home/openproject/openproject/public/assets

but i rather would see openproject to be contained in the http://1.2.3.4/openproject-subdirectory

do i miss something here? is there any way to fix the paths during css compilation??

Hello Jonas,

it should be enough to set rails_relative_url_root in configuration.yml before you precompile the assets and set the PassengerBaseURI in your apache config.

Do you run the latest stable version (3.0.8) of OpenProject?

yes its openproject 3.0.8 (checked out two days ago). as i said, i already set that variable. why would the apache config have influence on the compiling of the assets?

anyway, i just did that:

[openproject@devtest openproject]$ pwd
/home/openproject/openproject

[openproject@devtest openproject]$ grep -C 3 rails_relative_url_root config/configuration.yml
  # For OpenProject to be reachable as
  # https://example.org/open_project
  # the setting has o be:
  rails_relative_url_root: "/openproject"
  #
  # rails_relative_url_root: ""

  # Absolute path to the directory where attachments are stored.
  # The default is the 'files' directory in your OpenProject instance.

[openproject@devtest openproject]$ cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/openproject.conf
LoadModule passenger_module /home/openproject/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/gems/passenger-4.0.46/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
   <IfModule mod_passenger.c>
     PassengerRoot /home/openproject/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/gems/passenger-4.0.46
     PassengerDefaultRuby /home/openproject/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/wrappers/ruby
   </IfModule>

Alias /openproject /home/openproject/openproject/public
Alias /assets  /home/openproject/openproject/public/assets

<Location /openproject>
        PassengerBaseURI /openproject
        PassengerAppRoot /home/openproject/openproject
        RackBaseURI /openproject
</Location>

<Directory /home/openproject/openproject/public>
         # This relaxes Apache security settings.
         AllowOverride all
         # MultiViews must be turned off.
         Options -MultiViews
          Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

So no change.
i even tried to move the assets folder out of the way, no success:

[openproject@devtest openproject]$ mv public/assets/ assets_old

As the modification time of the css files do not change i guess they are simply copied from somewhere without processing?

I think Ratzi just supplied the answer in

https://www.openproject.org/topics/1340

the change should be

rails_relative_url_root: “/public”

I just removed the work around and tested it and it worked

:)
have updated my doco

thanks Ratzi
