Motivation

Motivation
I would like to run g3w-suite in a specific url location (e.g. /g3w).
I run g3w behind an Apache proxy and updating below
<Location "/"> Require all granted ProxyPass unix:/opt/g3wsuite/g3w-admin.sock|uwsgi://uwsgi-g3w-admin/ </Location>

to:

<Location "/g3w"> Require all granted ProxyPass unix:/opt/g3wsuite/g3w-admin.sock|uwsgi://uwsgi-g3w-admin/ </Location>

This works for most items, but not for maps, which cannot be loaded.

It would be very good to have BASE_URL or BASE_PROXY_URL setting that can be configured.

Suggested solution

Add BASE_URL or BASE_PROXY_URL setting.

@tudorbarascu @DaveGhedini can we close this?

[DavidGhedini]

Sorry, checking this now. You can close and I can re-open if needed. Thanks again.

Just to follow up, SITE_PREFIX_URL did not change behavior.
The only url that does not work properly using <Location "/g3w"> is the ows url.
Everything else works fine.

Hi @DaveGhedini,

this should be the relevant code:

g3w-admin/g3w-admin/base/urls.py

Lines 251 to 257 in b7ffb5d

	apiUrlpatterns += [
	path('', include('client.apiurls')),
	path('', include('core.apiurls')),
	path('', include('usersmanage.apiurls')),
	# TODO find out why we cannot include('OWS.apiurls') instead
	path('', include('OWS.urls')),
	]

g3w-admin/g3w-admin/base/urls.py

Lines 324 to 329 in b7ffb5d

	#############################################################
	# SITE PREFIX
	#############################################################
	if settings.SITE_PREFIX_URL:
	urlpatterns = [ path('{}'.format(settings.SITE_PREFIX_URL), include(urlpatterns)) ]
	apiUrlpatterns = [ path('{}'.format(settings.SITE_PREFIX_URL), include(apiUrlpatterns)) ]

g3w-admin/g3w-admin/OWS/urls.py

Lines 17 to 40 in b7ffb5d

	urlpatterns = [
	#############################################################
	# Main OWS client
	#############################################################
	re_path(
	r'^ows/(?P<map_name_alias>[-_\w\d]+)/&?$',
	ows_alias_view,
	name='ows-alias'
	),
	re_path(
	r'^ows/(?P<group_slug>[-_\w\d]+)/(?P<project_type>[-_\w\d]+)/(?P<project_id>[-_\w\d]+)/&?$',
	OWSView.as_view(),
	name='ows'
	),
	re_path(
	r'^ows/(?P<group_slug>[-_\w\d]+)/(?P<project_type>[-_\w\d]+)/(?P<project_id>[-_\w\d]+)/wfs3&?',
	OWSView.as_view(),
	name='ows-wfs3'
	),
	]

if you feel like debugging, otherwise please insert a link to a public demo project that clearly shows the problem.
