cakephp running on nginx accessing plugins - cakephp

I used cakephp for a couple years now running on Apache.
I am running php 5.3 and cakephp 2.2
I have installed nginx and have a very simple cakephp model working (few tables using scaffolding) and this works perfectly.
I have just install the debug_kit Plugin under the standard APP/Plugin directory and access a page and the logs show it can't find the files
The access log shows it goes to get /debug_kit/css/debug_toolbar.css and the error stays it can't find app/webroot/debug_kit/js/jquery.js
If I try other simple Plugins Chk in essence it can't find the ChkController however the logs show rewritten data: "/index.php", args: "url=Chk"
It seems to imply that for standard models the rewrite is working but for Plugins when it looks up the file the base dir for the Plugin is not being calculated
Any ideas or samples
Many Thanks
Si

I'm pretty sure this is related to your rewrite rules. I don't know how your nginx rewrite rules look like but these here are working fine for me using any version of cake 2.x.
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
break;
}

Blank page when serving react app with nginx in a specific location

I have created a web application and now I am trying to deploy it with Nginx.
After developing the application I have created a production version with the command "npm run build".
Since NGINX I serve these files, the corresponding block is:
location / {
root /var/www/build
}
With this, my app works perfectly and I can access it through mydomain.com
The problem is that I want my application to be accessible via
mydomain.com/app
Since the address mydomain.com I want to reserve it to use it with wordpress and give SEO.
The thing is that when I change the NGINX configuration to
location / app {
root /var/www/build
}
gives 404 error.
Looking for the problem I found that the solution is
occasion /app {
aliases /var/www/build
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html?$args;
}
but with this change I get a blank page instead of my app. And if I inspect the page, the response is as follows:
enter image description here
I have verified that in my browser I already have JavaScript enabled, so I don't understand what is going on.
I have a strong feeling your JavaScript files you have in your builds html file will result in a 404. Please check the Network Tab of your Browsers Developer Console. Entering this by pressing F12.
As your app is deployed under the app location but your JavaScript files are pointing to / they will never be found.
There are a million and one solution to solve this issue. Given you are using something like React.JS, Angular, Vue (Please make clear what kind of framework you are using) you should set /app/ as your new base.
Check this https://skryvets.com/blog/2018/09/20/an-elegant-solution-of-deploying-react-app-into-a-subdirectory/. Great tutorial.
If you are using something not related to any framework you can use <base>

Grails 3.0 static html in run-app

similar questions have been asked before, regarding grails 2(.3, .4). I find it strange that i could not find a way to do this, as it seems a standard use-case to me.
I simply want to serve html-pages, including their linked .css and .js (angular and jquery content) when i run grails run-app.
I want to check if my http-calls are handeled correctly on both sides - without needing to deploy a .war and configuring a database.
afaik grails run-app simply starts a jetty/tomcat - both of which can obviously serve .html pages. What do i have to do to make the grails development-tooling deploy my files?
I need to make http-requests,
so using a different Server would violate JS-SOP,
while deploying the .war would greatly slow down the development process
I've so far only found clunky jsonp, proxy, .war deployment solutions, or solutions for grails 2.x
I tried placing the files literally everywhere in the projects' structure (/src/main, /src/main/resources, /src/main/public, the assets folder and its subfolders, created web-app directories in every subdirectory, the Init, domain, conf directories - you name it)
Add the index.html to src/main/resources/public
Then add this to UrlMappings.groovy:
"/"(redirect:"/index.html")
For grails >= 3.0.12
Location of static resources
In order to resolve an issue around how POST requests are treated for
REST applications on non-existent resources, static resources located
in src/main/resources/public are now resolved under the /static/** URI
by default, instead of the base URI /**. If you wish to restore the
previous behaviour add the following configuration:
grails.resources.pattern = '/**'
https://github.com/grails/grails-core/releases/tag/v3.0.12
Contrary to the accepted answer, you don't need a redirect. I have made able to make this work with the following config:
UrlMappings.groovy
"/"(uri: "/index.html")
application.yml
grails:
resources:
pattern: '/**'
Finally, you just need to have your index.html file located under src/main/webapp

Debug CakePhp Step by step

My client want the code I've did in a subfolder.
I've put everything inside but I have only a blank page.
When I try to use phpinfo in the index file, nothing appears.
On the app/core.php the same
I don't have access to root to test if it's an issue with the root .htaccess or with my script.
Which cakephp file should be called first if the subdomain setup is good?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Ok I know what's wrong. SetEnv PHP_VER 5_3 does not work on the shared
hosting where my client have his main website. The client does not
want to upgrade the php version and this directive in the .htaccess
seems to be ignored. What alternatives do I have ...?

Angular JS + Laravel 4: How to compile for production mode?

So i have watched the 5 part youtube videos by David Mosher about Angular JS (vids great by the way). In the part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqAyiqUs93c), it has a practical mysql database usage which I almost wanted.
I'm going to use AngularJS along with Laravel 4, but I had no idea which files I'm going to upload for the web hosting later. I'm trying to run the web app under "/public" folder in my root on localhost (localhost/public/) but the css and js points to the wrong directory (points to the root: '/css/style.css').
Another method I have tried is by copying all the files to the root and moved all files inside "public" to root. Then I navigate to "localhost/public/". All works fine in script paths, except that it doesn't seemed to do any connection to the database (either the laravel or angular failed).
Is there any proper way to do this for practical use (without using php artisan serve or grunt run or lineman run on the server)? Which files I should upload later?
EDIT: the reason is my web hosting doesn't allow me to install nginx or run code remotely using putty, so I need a manual way to do this. Thanks.
First install latest laravel in your localhost. See doc.
Assuming you have completed composer install command.
Then move your all public folder contents to the project root.
Next change the line 21 in index.php from,
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
and line 35 content
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';
Now you can access project without public folder.
Place your css, js and other assets folder in root like http://localhost/laravel/css
Note that the laravel blade and angular also using {{ syntax for compilation.So you need to change the laravel blade syntax to {= and =}.Otherwise you will get conflict.
To do this open vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/View/Compilers/BladeCompiler.php file and change line 45 to this
protected $contentTags = array('{=', '=}');
and line 52 to this
protected $escapedTags = array('{={', '}=}');
Now you can use {{ for angular and {= for blade.
For linking your assets, use HTMLBuilder functions, see doc here.
Now use these in blade,
{= HTML::style('css/style.css') =} // links localhost/project/css/style.css
{= HTML::script('js/jquery.js') =}
Use migrations and db seeds in localhost and make an exported copy of db for online hosting
After completing project, copy entire project content to online server and change db configuration and import database.
Directory Structure for Online
There will be a public directory for your file hosting, where you put your files in web root.
That may be htdocs or public_html and now it's your project public root.Now the directory structure will be,
-- app
-- bootstrap
-- css
-- images
-- js
-- vendor

URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server

I tried upgrading my cakephp version from 1.3 to 2.5 but encountered an url rewriting problem. Another cakephp app runs on the same version so I'm sure the mod_rewrite works.
Although when I go to example.com/pages/home I get following error:
URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server. 1) Help me configure it 2) I don't / can't use URL rewriting
When I go to my normal home page and I want to click on a home link I get following url :
http://example.com/app/webroot/index.php/
And it is the same for other urls.
http://example.com/antwerp becomes http://example.com/app/webroot/index.php/antwerp
When I go to http://example.com/antwerp the site works as it should...
Any ideas where I've gone wrong?
I would suggest accessing your account and re-uploading your .htaccess files from and to the following locations respectivelly.
/app
.htaccess
/webroot
.htaccess
.htaccess
Some FTPs do not upload those files automatically until you force it to.
If that does not work, check if you have your php.ini file in your public_html folder of this application.
