So I changed my reverse proxy set up to make debug a bit easier and maybe will get some suggestions from someone now:
I have an instance of web2py running on nginx sitting behind an apache reverse proxy so: www.mydomain.com/link points to myserver1.otherdomain.com i have /myapp/default/index set as the default application, controller, and function. When i go directly to myserver1.otherdomain.com everything works as expected. If i go to www.mydomain.com/link all of my static files are unreachable because the relative paths point to www.mydomain.com/myapp/static/file where really it would have to be www.mydomain.com/link/myapp/static/file. I am using URL() to create relative links. Looking at routes.py it seems like I should be setting BASE = 'link' When I do this going to www.mydomain.com/link works (www.mydomain.com/link/doesn't), but the site as a whole doesn't. For example, if I try to log in, that page loses its static files. Looking at what the static files now point to I get this which is clearly wrong: http://www.mydomain.com/link/myapp/default/user/link/myapp/static/images/favicon.ico Another example going to a simple page /myapp/default/learn http://www.mydomain.com/link/myapp/default/link/myapp/static/js/modernizr.custom.js It looks like urls are getting re-written twice or something? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to configure a web2py application to work behind a reverse proxy?
