[fusion-users] Map does not draw using a virtual host

[Jason Birch]

Hi Andrew,

These apps are referencing fusion as ../fusion

I'm guessing that you have fusion at:

  /var/www/htdocs/fusion

and demo at:

  /var/www/htdocs/demo

If you create a virtual host for demo.source3.com pointing to:

  /var/www/htdocs/demo

Then you can no longer reference fusion as 

  ../fusion

because Apache cannot reference files outside of the document root.

To solve this I would suggest either adding a line like this to your
virtual host for Demo:

  Alias /fusion /var/www/htdocs/fusion

or creating a symlink to fusion under the demo directory:
 
  cd /var/www/htdocs/demo
  ln -s /var/www/htdocs/fusion fusion

You may also want to modify your index.html file to reference fusion as
/fusion/ instead of ../fusion/ which will work for both cases and be
more accurate for the virtual host.

Jason

Subject: [fusion-users] Map does not draw using a virtual host

I have Fusion working on my server at HostGIS.  When I access the demo 
using http://216.93.173.156/demo/ the map renders.  But when I use the 
virtual host http://demo.source3.com I get an error and the map does not

draw.  In Firebug, I see the error but cannot figure out what is causing

it. 

HostGIS checked the server on their side and said everything is fine.

***  FROM HostGIS ***

Ah, I see in the error log a major clue:

[Tue Oct 28 12:31:48 2008] [error] [client 67.142.161.26] File does not 
exist: /var/www/htdocs/demo/fusion, referer: http://demo.source3.com/
[Tue Oct 28 12:31:49 2008] [error] [client 67.142.161.26] File does not 
exist: /var/www/htdocs/demo/fusion, referer: http://demo.source3.com/

Looks to me like you didn't fix an URL in your application: it's still 
looking for /demo/fusion or something like that. Double check your URLs 
and make sure they're all correct; the webserver is behaving properly.

*** END HostGIS  ****

I am having the same problem with the template from 
../fusion/template/mapserver/standard.  When I access the template from 
http://216.93.173.156/pitrule/ the map draws.  When I access the 
template from the virtual host http://pitrule.source3.com I get an 
error.  In Firebug I can see the cause of the error.  But what is 
causing it?


Thanks for helping me so much.  Hopefully in a week or two I will have a

good grasp of Fusion and stop asking so many questions!
