OME web set up on a virtual host

[rguha]

Hi, as part of the installation and configuration of OME I have reached the stage where I am supposed to place the <Directory> blocks into httpd.conf. However, our sysadmin requires that I use an Apache virtual host rather than place this directly into httpd.conf. Has anybody set up their web interface in this fashion? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm certainly not an expert on Apache, but you should be able to add a file to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d and wrap the section returned from:

Code: Select all

bin/omero web config apache


with a vhost block:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>

    FastCGIExternalServer "/EXAMPLE/var/omero.fcgi" -host 0.0.0.0:4080

    <Directory "/EXAMPLE/var">
        Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory "/EXAMPLE/lib/python/omeroweb/media">
        Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    Alias /appmedia /EXAMPLE/lib/python/omeroweb/media
    Alias / "/EXAMPLE/var/omero.fcgi/"

</VirtualHost>



And similiarly for SSL:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost ...:443>
</VirtualHost>
