为应用程序设置apache2

Question

I created an small web application using web.py. When deploying and accessing the application through the web browser I get an error related to the location of javascript files.

I followed the structure recommended in learnpythonthehardway.org, so I have the following:

   myapp/
        bin/
            app.py
        python_module/
            my_module.py
        static/
            javascript/
                myScript.js
        templates/
            index.html

Within index.html I have next line:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/javascript/myScript.js"></script>

I've uploaded the files to /var/www/html/myapp

In apache I have to following configuration:

WSGIScriptAlias /myapp /var/www/html/myapp/bin/app.py

DocumentRoot /var/www/html

Now, when I access http://example.com/myapp I got a 404 error because the application is looking for the javascript in http://example.com/static/javascript/myScript.js

What is the configuration to look for the javascript files in the right location, other than change the src attribute in the script tag within index.html?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Change:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/javascript/myScript.js"></script>

to:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/myapp/static/javascript/myScript.js"></script>

It just is looking for an absolute url based on the root of the webserver. /static means in /var/www/html/static . You can also get rid of the first / if you want but you would have to be careful if you have any subdirectory handling otherwise it will try to find static inside that other directory.

The solution for this is to add the following line to apache configuration:

Alias /static /var/www/html/movies/static

As the apache documentation says:

"The Alias and ScriptAlias directives are used to map between URLs and filesystem paths"
