Re: [Catalyst] configurable base url?

[Pablo Collins]

Thanks guys for your help. For clarity, I'd like to make the question webserver independent. For now, I'm just talking about how to change the base url of an application running in Catalyst::Engine::HTTP. In Catalyst::Manual::Cookbook, the author states that $c->uri_for is great because it lets you "move an application around without having to worry that everything is going to break". Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do you "move an application around" just in Catalyst::Engine::HTTP? Regards, -Pablo Peter Edwards wrote: Presuming that the only semantic meaning of 'versionn.nn' is splitting which handler to go to, you can do this from Apache 2 with mod_rewrite. (If you wanted to handle the version.nn dynamically within the app you'd need to hanle the URL processing inside your app.) In the Apache configuration, e.g. /etc/httpd/conf.d/myspecialapp.conf <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> <VirtualHost *:80> RewriteEngine On RewriteLogLevel 0 RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite.log RewriteRule ^/myspecialapp/version1.2/(.*$) http://localhost:2502/$1 [P] ProxyPassReverse /myspecialapp/version1.2/ http://localhost:2502/ RewriteRule ^/myspecialapp/version1.3/(.*$) http://localhost:2503/$1 [P] ProxyPassReverse /myspecialapp/version1.3/ http://localhost:2503/ RewriteRule ^proxy:.* - [F] </VirtualHost> </IfModule> Then run your version 1.2 app listening at localhost port 2502 and your version 1.3 app listening at localhost port 2503. Apache will map incoming http://myserver/myspecialapp/version1.2/ on to localhost:2502 and pass it path part /. If Apache got back, say, path part /login it would return to the browser http://myserver/myspecialapp/version1.2/login.

That part is straightforward. What I'm hung up on is how to tell catalyst to throw away the / myspecialapp/version1.3 part of the url and start the controller matching from there. I'd like to not have to change the names and namespaces of the controllers based on their versions if possible. Instead I'd like to be able to put the application root url in the config and have it just work. Is this possible / relatively easy to do?
