Pachno uses URL rewriting to make URLs look more readable. URL rewriting is what makes it possible to, instead of using URLs such as:
viewissue.php?project_key=projectname&issue_id=123
use URLs such as:
/projectname/issue/123.
It is important that Pachno and your web server is correctly set up with url rewriting enabled for this to work.
You can read more about setting up URL rewriting, here:
- http:https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html (Apache)
- http:https://support.microsoft.com/kb/324000/ (IIS)
We also provide documentation for setting up rewriting on other web servers at https://projects.pach.no/pachno/docs/categories/howto
For Apache, it is enough that the rewrite module (mod_rewrite) is installed
and enabled, and that the virtual host setup has set AllowOverride All
for the folder Pachno is located. With this setup, Apache should use
the .htaccess
file located inside the public/
folder.
If you for any reason cannot turn on AllowOverride All
for that folder, look at
the .htaccess
file Pachno bundles (located inside the public/
folder), and copy the necessary lines to your virtual host definition.
Pachno is installed in /var/www/pachno
, and I want to
set up a virtual host for Pachno.
Set up the virtual host as usual, but point the DocumentRoot
for Pachno to the public/
subfolder inside the main folder.
Make sure the apache virtual host setup has AllowOverride All
for the folder
where Pachno is located, and make sure the .htaccess
file inside
the public/
folder is accessible to Apache.
If this is a permanent setup, you may also want to copy the .htaccess directives into the virtual host setup after verifying the installation works as expected.
Set the hostname to the public hostname where you plan
to access Pachno. With this setup, Pachno will be located at the
top level, so set the URL subdirectory to /
, which means "top level".
Pachno is installed in /var/www/pachno, and I want to
access it as a subfolder of the DocumentRoot, which is /var/www
Make sure the apache host setup has AllowOverride All
for the
folder Pachno is located, and make sure the .htaccess file inside the
public/
folder is accessible to Apache. You may want to copy the main
folder content to a folder one level up (extract the main content of
the top pachno/
folder directly to /var/www
), so that
the public/
folder inside the main folder is accessible
as /var/www/public
.
Set the hostname to the public hostname where you plan to
access Pachno. With this setup, Pachno will be located at either
http:https://hostname/pachno/public/ or http:https://hostname/public/
(see above), so set the URL subdirectory to /
, which means "top level".
