URL Problem 🔗 link

Hello All,

First, let me say, VERY nice job on Hobbit.  A lot more things work on
it on my AIX system out of the box.  Thank you for that :)

I have installed RC2 onto an AIX 5.2 system, running APACHE 2.0.52.  

Everything looks ok, but now that I am trying to add subpages, somehow I
have kludged the config so that it does the following.

Instead of http://hobbit/AIX/AIX.html, I get
http://hobbit/hobbit/AIX/AIX.html

Hobbit is the name of the virtual server that apache is defined to use.

I've been poking around for a little while on this, but thought I might
ask if someone had a pointer for me to look at.

TIA

Al Jeffcoat

I agree that it is most likely an apache problem, but I do not know
where.  Here is the virtual host container for hobbit from my apache
config.  Maybe someone with more experience/knowledge might be able to
pinpoint it.  I'll continue to RTFM and google :)

I did not use the Alias that was provided by hobbit's apache-config
example.  I instead used the DocumentRoot definition for this vhost.  Is
this not a good idea?  The only other "websites" on this server are
internal for my team only, documentation and such.  Nothing is being
presented to the web from this server.

Thanks

I think it is a configuration issue in the apache. By Default /hobbit/
is an Alias to the hobbit's www dir. I guess in your case you can make
the main server's doc root as hobbit's www dir. However that won't be a
good idea if you have other virtual webservers running from this same
system

Your apache config looks OK. Most likely it's a configuration issue in
your server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg file. Could you post these settings
from your configuration:

Near the top of the file:

BBSERVERWWWNAME="some.host.name"        # The name used for this hosts' webserver
BBSERVERWWWURL="/hobbit"                # The top URL for the Hobbit webpages
BBSERVERCGIURL="/hobbit-cgi"            # The URL for the Hobbit CGI scripts.

and further down:

BBWEBHOST="http://$BBSERVERWWWNAME";             # Just the host part of the URL - http://www.foo.com
BBWEBHOSTURL="$BBWEBHOST$BBSERVERWWWURL"        # Prefix for all static Hobbit pages - http://www.foo.com/bb
BBWEBHTMLLOGS="$BBWEBHOSTURL/html"              # Prefix for the Hobbit HTML logs (only if BBLOGSTATUS=STATIC)
BBWEB="$BBSERVERWWWURL"                         # Hobbit URL prefix without the host part
