adding my_app_name to action paths

[Mike Glen]

I'm trying to setup a catyst app to run behind nginx so that the app is
accessed at http://my.server.com/my_app_name/
I have set this up following instructions at
http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/wiki/adventcalendararticles/2008/02-catalyst_and_nginx
I can get the requests passed through to catalyst running the
http::prefork engine but I haven't found a simple way to add my_app_name
to the beginning of each action's path.

Is there a simple way to do this?

I'd like to be able to do this in the config file if possible

Thanks

It should happen automatically, provided you have set the "using_frontend_proxy" option.  Are you setting that correctly?

I have tried putting using_frontend_proxy 1 in myapp.conf and also
__PACKAGE__->config( name => 'MyApp', 'using_frontend_proxy' => 1 ) in
MyApp.pm
Neither of those seem to work. Are these the wrong way to set it?
I haven't been able to find the documentation for this

this is what i have in my nginx.conf
        location /my_app/ {
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

            proxy_pass  http://localhost:3000/;
        }

thanks

I have managed to get this to work by using the Catalyst::Plugin::Setenv
and adding SCRIPT_NAME my_app_name to the config file so that this is
used to generate the correct $c->request->base.
I don't believe this is the right way to do it though. Anyone got any
pointers?

Thanks
Mike

Hi,

Sorry for no responding yesterday, had a full day.  You can set the proxy header directly, just using:

proxy_set_header SCRIPT_NAME /my_app/;

That should do the trick, but may be missing something.  I have a working config on a system that is currently sitting in an Apple store repair facility :/

I just tried that and SCRIPT_NAME doesn't seem to get picked up by
catalyst so guess something is still missing.
Thanks for your help with this.

Mike
