BASE_PREFIX don't work

[oliverlangkau]

Hi,
is it possible that BASE_PREFIX don't work in this setup?

cmdbsyncer with uwsgi and mongo in container and apache as local os install.

Apache config as reverse proxy from http://examplehost/cmdbsyncer/ to http://127.0.0.1:8080
Create local_config.py with 'BASE_PREFIX': '/cmdbsyncer/'

Environment:
Rhel9.5 install with podman
CMDB Syncer 3.8.5

Best regards

Hi Olli,

The Base prefix just fixes the path if the Syncer is not used directly with the domain.
So it's just for a folder. Not for a domain.

The Domain you need to set with Apache. If you there, configure for the Reverse proxy (like in your example) /cmdbsyncer,
it's 'cmdbsyncer' which is needed as a Value in the Base Config.

Then it should work.

Best
Basti

Hi Bastian,
the way you decribe is the way i understood it.
But this didn't work for me.
Here my Apache conf:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName examplehost
<Location /cmdbsyncer>
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto http
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Prefix /cmdbsyncer

here my /var/www/cmdbsyncer/local_config.py
config = {'CRYPTOGRAPHY_KEY': "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
'SECRET_KEY': "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
'SESSION_COOKIE_NAME': 'xxxxxxxxxxx','BASE_PREFIX': '/cmdbsyncer/'}

All i got is

http://examplehost/admin
The requested URL was not found on this server.
http://examplehost/cmdbsyncer/admin
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Bets regards

Hi,
I did a bit more investigation.
the only URLs that are prefixed with the base_prefix are under the profile menue.
http://examplehost/cmdbsyncer/change-password
all other link are not prefixed http://examplehost/admin/config/

Hi Olli,

thanks for checking. But something must be wrong then in your setup.
I just tested a Consumer Setup which also useses https://host/cmdbsyncer successfully.

He is using this Setup: https://cmdbsyncer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basics/install_wsgi/ (With WSGI)

If you're using UWSGI instead, here you with Apache, here you also find a working config:
https://github.com/kuhn-ruess/cmdbsyncer/tree/main/deploy_configs/example_apache
This is more of legacy since RHEL does not ship UWSGI anymore, so I recommend WSGI

Also If you're using UWSGI, have you restarted the UWSGI Daemon after your changes in the config?
About your local_config, if Cryptografy_keys values does not start b'value' there is something wrong, self_configure in 3.9 branch will fix that. Before that, it would only be a problem if you're using the Passtwort Store Feature. From 3.9 on, all Passworts in Accounts are also enceypted.
