Bitnami: How to configure GitLab 5.0 application in Apache2 not to have relative root?

问题

(Or how to make GitLab application as root application on Apache2 HTTP server. )

I have not used Apache2 before, but I got Bitnami GitLab VM with preinstalled server.

I and run into issues, because application root is relative. Bitnami GitLab 5.0 and git & Eclipse EGit quick start

The fix is to not using relative root, but run GitLab application as root on Apache2 HTTP server.

I have found configuration files location using Bitnami wiki for Apache component:

1) /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf is absent.

2) Apache2 config for GitLab aplication: gitlab.conf

Please help:

UPDATE: This is still unsolved, my own answer doesn't help.

回答1:

Have you precompiled the assets again? To do so, you should run:

$ cd /opt/bitnami/apps/gitlab/htdocs
$ bundle exec bin/rake assets:precompile RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT='/'

Then restart Apache server.

More info: http://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/BitNami_GitLab#How_to_change_the_default_URL_to_the_root.3f

I hope it helps.

Regards.

2) way

If you want to change the default URL from http://your_domain/your_application to http://your_domain, you should add a "DocumentRoot" entry in your application conf file. Edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/your_application/conf/your_application.conf file to add this line and commenting the "Alias" entries. You can use the "nano" editor:

$ sudo nano /opt/bitnami/apps/your_application/conf/your_application.conf

your_application.conf file content:

DocumentRoot "/opt/bitnami/apps/your_application/htdocs"
# Alias /your_application/ "/installdir/apps/your_application/htdocs/"
# Alias /your_application "/installdir/apps/your_application/htdocs"

(...)

Some applications also require changes in their configuration files or in the database.

/opt/bitnmai/apps/gitlab/gitlab.conf after changes:

DocumentRoot /opt/bitnami/apps/gitlab/htdocs/public

<Directory "/opt/bitnami/apps/gitlab/htdocs/public">
   Options -MultiViews
   allow from all
</Directory>
