Re: [cli-users] Running from a virtual root
I asked this question some time ago but never received an answer.
I would like to run ASP.NET applications on from a single IP address
whereby the IP Address is mapped to server virtual directories. I would
like to
be able to designate a separate virtual root directory for each
application and use
Apache to run these applications. The URL designate the application in
a manner
whereby the use has only to type the web address (no directory) and that
application
would run.
For example
127.0.0.1 is mapped to
a) http://MyApp1.com
b) http://MyApp2.com
Then MyApp1.com is mapped to C:\MyApp1 virtual directory
and MyApp2.com is mapped to C:\MyApp2 virtual directory.
Right now I couldn't get mod_aspnet to be mapped to a rooted virtual
directory.
I was only able to do this if they are mapped to a subdirectory of the
rooted virtual directory.
For example if this was not an aspnet application but generic html
application Apache can handle
what I'm requesting for asp.net. Has anyone been able to get this to
work with the configuration described herein.
Or do you have to do redirects instead.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Re: [cli-users] Running from a virtual root

Hi,
I actually am able to get that to work effortlessly. All I have to do is
to add the following line in the http.conf.
AspNetMount / "c:/test"
However, the problem I have encountered is that the webservice does not
work. I finally had to change the code inside the apache.web.dll to get
it to work.
Here it is.
String* Apache::Web::WorkerRequest::GetAppPath(void)
{
#ifdef _DEBUG
String *res = String::Concat(L"GetAppPath: returns ",
host->GetVirtualPath());
LogRequestError(res, APLOG_DEBUG, 0);
#endif
if( (host->GetVirtualPath())->Length == 0 ) //I added these three
lines
return "/";
else
return host->GetVirtualPath();
}
Hope this helps.

Re: [cli-users] Running from a virtual root
Thanks William,
This is exactly what I am expirencing. When I would designate the
root directory (/) to be mapped to the virtual directory Apache would
fail. Thus this is a known issue. I thought I was misunderstanding
something. I even tried using double slashes thinking I could trick
Apache -- to no avail.
Is this a problem with the parsing in the Hosting environment (the
C++ code that load the runtime) or is the problem in .NET API
(System.Web.Hosting)? From your response it appears that the .NET API
is stripping the root directory. In this case it would appear that
mod_aspnet would have to special case this scenario. Let me know if I
can help because I would really like to use Apache over IIS 6.0.
Apparently I can do what I've requested with IIS 6.0.
Thanks,
Chris

Patches? I ment trailing slashes, sorry.
So for example, if you have /test/ mapped to c:/myapp/, the
System.Web.Hosting container will call us for our mapping /test
to c:/myapp - understanding that, the rest of my comment should
make more sense;

Sure you should be able to do this. The problem is with path name
parsing. When /test/ is mapped to c:/myapp/ everything is fine, even
when we strip off the patches (System.Web.Hosting does).
Now it gets tricky because when the path gets stripped off, the uri
of / mapped to c:/myapp/ disappears altogether. Never figured out
exactly how to handle this cleanly, but I'm happy to take another
look.
