Running IPS on /community

[CreatorsHub]

Hello,

I currently have IPS running on the root of the Domain. My current setup is HAProxy -> Nginx -> PHP-FPM

My current HAProxy config

frontend http
        bind *:80
        option http-server-close

        http-request set-header X-Client-IP %[src]
        http-request redirect prefix http://%[hdr(host),regsub(^www\.,,i)] code 301 if { hdr_beg(host) -i www. }

        default_backend community-backend

backend landing-backend
        server landing-1 10.0.0.1:80 check

backend community-backend
        server community-1 10.0.1.1:80 check
        server community-2 10.0.1.2:80 check

My current Nginx config

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

        root /var/www/html;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name localhost;

        client_max_body_size 16m;

        location / {
                # try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
                try_files  $uri $uri/ /index.php;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        }

        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny all;
        }
}

 

Now if i change the backends in my haproxy to this and change the board_url in my IPS config:

frontend http
        bind *:80
        option http-server-close

        http-request set-header X-Client-IP %[src]
        http-request redirect prefix http://%[hdr(host),regsub(^www\.,,i)] code 301 if { hdr_beg(host) -i www. }

        acl url_community path_beg /community
        use_backend community-backend if url_community

        default_backend landing-backend

backend landing-backend
        server landing-1 10.0.0.1:80 check

backend community-backend
        reqrep ^([^\ :]*)\ /community/?(.*) \1\ /\2
        server community-1 10.0.1.1:80 check
        server community-2 10.0.1.2:80 check

Then I can visit domain.com/community and get to my community but i encounter the following errors:

1. It gives me a 404 no matter what page i visit.
2. Sometimes it redirect me from domain.com/community/{IPS STUFF} too domain.com/{IPS Stuff}
   (This is caused by the removal of the /community in the request forwarding to Nginx. Nginx is effectively listening on domain.com/ from it perspective. And IPS is not evaluating the board_url for location header redirects)

Has anyone a similar setup and can share a bit of information on his configuration?

I just recently bought Pages and this might be sufficient enough to build a landing page on the root. I imagen this is how invision has their setup? IPS on root, Pages on / and Forums on /forums/*
Is it possible to run this setup with the forum link as /community? Are there any resources explaning how to setup IPS like this?

Hi there!

This is possible out of box. Place all of the files into your root folder, including pages and forums. In /applications/forums/data/ change the furl.json to have "community" as the top-level. Make pages your primary application in the ACP (tick the Star icon on it).

Should work...

Regards.
