Redirect /fog/management to root X.X.X.X
-
Hi - New to fog but been reading through a lot of the posts and can’t see a way to redirect fog landing page to the root http://x.x.x.x.
Note: This is a fresh install
Info: Running Ubuntu 16.04
Fog:
Running Version 1.3.4
SVN Revision: 6066 -
I might suggest that you no do this, but create a default page in the http root that just forwards the user to the /fog path.
-
Thx, I will give it a try
-
For example create a file
index.htmlin the root of the web site and inside that index.html file something as simple as this<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/index.php" /> </head> <body> Redirecting to FOG Server </body> </html>ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3292038/redirect-website-after-certain-amount-of-time

This is what I do with CentOS7:
echo "Make Apache Default Web Page default to <servername>/ instead of <servername>/fog/" sed -i.bak "s|DirectoryIndex index.html|DirectoryIndex /fog/index.php index.html|g" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf sed -i.bak "s|/management|/fog/management|g" /var/www/html/fog/index.phpThe first part is in Apache’s documentation. The second part cinches the knot.

@george1421 Just confirming where the index.html should be. I have it in /var/www/fog/index.html. I tested this by just entering ip in firefox browser and it takes me to the index of / page.
-
This is what you should be doing: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Simple_Redirect
-
@bluesky Yeah, you should be using Wayne’s post. The index.html should work, but there may be some apache configs that need to happen. I was just shooting from where I know. The php solution that wayne posted does the same exact thing but via a php page.
-
@Wayne-Workman this fails chown root:apache /var/www/html/index.php invalid group. should this be www-data?
-
@bluesky said in Redirect /fog/management to root X.X.X.X:
this fails chown root:apache /var/www/html/index.php invalid group. should this be www-data?
Yep. In Ubuntu/Debian it’s www-data
I updated the wiki to reflect this.
-
@george1421 Thanks I have tried both your suggestions, but if you know this works, then I suspect I have issues with my apache2 service
-
@bluesky It’s not working?
-
@Wayne-Workman No its not working, typing "X.X.X.X "into the browser takes me to the index of / page. interestingly enough if i type local host, it takes me to the Apache Debian default page then redirects me to the fog web console
-
@Wayne-Workman I think I am going to start all over with fresh install. I am using virtual box so I can destroy and start over easily. I suspect I have touched to many files made to many config changes.
-
@bluesky I can assure you that the wiki article I posted does work. Others and myself have used it many times on many different OSs. Starting over is probably best since you’re just playing around with fog.
-
@Wayne-Workman Ok Thanks thats what I will do. Thanks for all your help. So far, I have FOG up and running in a school district…just now trying to tweak a few things
-
@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne - I just cant seem to get this to work following the instructions on wiki.
I have started with fresh install of Ubuntu 16 and FOG . I dont want to waste your time but thought I would provide the update.1.) ls -l /var/www/html/index.php
-rwxr–r-- 1 root www-data 78 Feb 16 09:24 /var/www/html/index.php2.) Contents of above file:
<?php
header(‘Location: http://10.0.2.15/fog/management/index.php’);
exit;
?>3.)
Latest Version: 1.3.4
Latest Development Version: 1.3.5-RC-7
Latest SVN Version: 60654.) Server Version: Apache/2.4.25 (Ubuntu) OpenSSL/1.0.2k

create a index.html in /var/www with the following content:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=/fog"> -
@x23piracy Thanks, this worked!
-
@bluesky I just tried the steps in the wiki verbatim and they work fine. I’m not sure what is wrong, are you replacing the x.x.x.x with the server IP address?
