[mapguide-internals] Do we need Redirect for MapGuide WebExtension on Linux

[Dave Wilson]

I have a defect logged regarding this. There is supposed to be a redirect, but it's only documented in the install guide for Linux rather than included. I requested in the defect that we include it simply commented out in the mapguide.conf on Linux. That way the user simply has to comment out the php and uncomment the java redirect.

Defect 1250359

There should be a redirect so that you don't have to reference the mapviewerjava path directly.

Regards,
Dave

Hi Guys,

I encounter a defect of MapGuide Enterprise on Linux, I think MapGuide Open Source should have the same issue.

When I preview a Basic Web Layout  in browser using Ajax Viewer(this is the URL: http://10.148.203.128:8008/mapguide2011/mapviewerajax/?...), there isn't nothing displayed in the map, while the toolbar and tasklist page display. I doubt we need a redirection for WebExtension with Apache+Jsp.
Because When I change the url to http://10.148.203.128:8008/mapguide2011/mapviewerjava/ajaxviewer.jsp?..., everything is ok, the map displays normally.
And another thing is, in the BuildConfigureMgOpenSourceOnWindows.pdf, we should add the following configuration for redirection in the httpd.conf like this:

Redirect /mapguide/mapviewerajax/
http://<HostName>:<Port>/mapguide/mapviewerjava/ajaxviewer.jsp
Redirect /mapguide/mapviewerdwf/
http://<HostName>:<Port>/mapguide/mapviewerjava/dwfviewer.jsp<http://%3cHostName%3e:%3cPort%3e/mapguide/mapviewerjava/dwfviewer.jsp>

However, in the BuildConfigureMgOpenSourceOnLinux<http://mapguide.osgeo.org/1.1/docs/BuildConfigureMgOpenSourceOnLinux/BuildConfigureMgOpenSourceOnLinux/Index.html>, I don't get this information for redirection. If I add a redirection in the //webserverextensions/apache2/conf/mapguide.conf, it works fine. But the weird thing is, the MapGuide Enterprise 2010 works fine even without this redirection. So I am not sure about this defect is a redirection issue.

I want to know, do we need a redirection for MG on Linux? Does anybody have experience of configure MG on Linux?

Thanks,
-Buddy Hu
