Install documentation: no need for legacy admin-ui !

[kvvloten]

The install documentation ui-admin-vhost-configuration states the need for the legacy admin-ui (linshare-ui-admin-{VERSION}-legacy.tar.bz2).

After some experiments I found out that the new admin-ui works fine without the legacy-admin-ui when the apache configuration is changed as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName linshare-admin.local

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/new
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/linshare/
    RewriteRule ^(.+) /new/$1 [R]

    ErrorDocument 401 /
    ErrorDocument 404 /
    
    DocumentRoot /var/www/linshare-ui-admin

    <Directory /var/www/linshare-ui-admin>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <Location /linshare>
        Require all granted
    
        # Workaround to remove httpOnly flag (could also be done with tomcat)
        # Header edit Set-Cookie "(JSESSIONID=.*); Path.*" "$1; Path=/"
        # For https, you should add Secure flag.
        Header edit Set-Cookie "(JSESSIONID=.*); Path.*" "$1; Path=/; Secure"
    
        # This header is added to avoid the JSON cache issue on IE.
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0,no-cache,no-store"
    
        ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/linshare
        ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/linshare
        ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /linshare /
    </Location>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/linshare-admin-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/linshare-admin-access.log combined
</Virtualhost>

Can you confirm this approach is alright and the legacy-admin-ui is no longer needed?

Hello,

Yes, from 6.2 we have a complete implementation of the new admin interface.

Enjoy :)

If there is no need for the legacy admin interface anymore, then why does the current documentation at ui-admin-vhost-configuration still explains to put the legacy interface at / and het new interfaces at /new ???

Can you update the ui-admin-vhost-configuration documentation on this topic to explain a correct setup for the current release, please?

Yes We will update the documentation
