Replace your web2py/routes.py with this:
------------- begin routes.py-----------
try: config=open('routes.conf','r').read()
except: config=''
def auto_in(apps):
routes=[
('/robots.txt','/welcome/static/robots.txt'),
('/favicon.ico','/welcome/static/favicon.ico'),
('/admin$a','/admin$a'),
]
for a,b in [x.strip().split() for x in apps.split('\n') \
if x.strip() and not x.strip().startswith('#')]:
if not b.startswith('/'): b='/'+b
if b.endswith('/'): b=b[:-1]
app = b.split('/')[1]
routes+=[
('.*:https?://(.*\.)?%s:$method /' % a,'%s' % b),
('.*:https?://(.*\.)?%s:$method /static/$a' % a,'%s/static/
$a' % app),
('.*:https?://(.*\.)?%s:$method /appadmin/$a' % a,'%s/
appadmin/$a' % app),
('.*:https?://(.*\.)?%s:$method /$a' % a,'%s/$a' % b),
]
return routes
def auto_out(apps):
routes=[]
for a,b in [x.strip().split() for x in apps.split('\n') \
if x.strip() and not x.strip().startswith('#')]:
if not b.startswith('/'): b='/'+b
if b.endswith('/'): b=b[:-1]
app = b.split('/')[1]
routes+=[
('%s/static/$a' % app,'static/$a'),
('%s/appadmin/$a' % app, '/appadmin/$a'),
('%s/$a' % b, '/$a'),
]
return routes
routes_in=auto_in(config)
routes_out=auto_out(config)
------------------- END ---------------
what does it do? It writes routes for you based on a simpler routing
configuration file called routes.conf. here is an example:
----- BEGIN routes.conf-------
127.0.0.1 /examples/default
domain1.com /app1/default
domain2.com /app2/default
domain3.com /app3/default
----- END ----------
It maps a domain (the left had side) into an app and it shortens the
URLs for the app, by removing the listed path prefix. That means
http://domain1.com/index will be mapped into /app1/default/index
http://domain2.com/index will be mapped into /app2/default/index
It is safe in that it preserves admin, appadmin, static files,
favicon.ico and robots.txt.
http://domain1.com/favicon.ico
http://domain1.com/robots.txt
http://domain1.com/admin/... /admin/...
http://domain1.com/appadmin/... /app1/appadmin/...
http://domain1.com/static/... /app1/static/...
and vice-versa.
It does assume one app per domain.
I think something like this should be default since lots of people
find routes.py hard to work with.
Comments? Suggestions?
