When I set \p 8080 I can have calls to http://localhost:8080/ to interact with kdb+.
How can I do it for this url:
http://localhost:8080/somepath
?
The use case if for my app that send HTTP requests to the kdb process to get data from the DB. For react reasons that are out of scope here (see this) I can't use http://localhost:8080/.
By default the root server for the q webserver is located in a folder called html under your QHOME folder.
If you had a html document called mydoc.html then you could place it at, for instance,
$QHOME/html/example/mydoc.html
and reach it by calling
http://localhost:8080/example/mydoc.html
There is some info here: https://code.kx.com/q/kb/custom-web/

My project directory structure is implement in a way that the frontend dir sits inside the main dir where index.js of server file lives.
The problem is when I try to route to a specific page on client /about for example.
The call will be made to the server and not to client. on the home page / the server sends the call to /frontend/build/index.js. How can I achieve the same result to other routes?
Problem was routes order on the index.js file of server
I'm experiencing some strange behaviour with a ColdFusion 11 server, which (among other things) publishes some web services accessed via both SOAP and HTTP. The server itself is Windows 2012, running IIS. Actual folder config is as follows:
IIS has two websites configured, 'BOB' and 'BOB_Services'. Both have been configured with the CF Server Config tool so that CF handles .cfc, .cfm files. They share a common CFIDE config.
BOB's root is I:/inetpub/BOB
BOB_Services's root is I:/inetpub/BOB_Services
There is a folder mapping configured in CF Admin from '/' to 'I:/inetpub/BOB'. Don't ask me why, no one seems to know.
Normally there is a services.cfc file in BOB_Services ONLY. Yesterday we accidentally copied that same file into the BOB root folder, and all of our SOAP services using BOB_Services\services.cfc started throwing errors. Yet I can query the same webservice via HTTP (eg. using http://bob/services.cfc?method=function1¶m1=0 ....etc) and get a valid result.
This is a reference answer in case anyone else comes across this strange behaviour.
It appears that when BOB_Services/services.cfc is called using HTTP GET, the folder mapping
'/' -> 'I:/inetpub/BOB'
is ignored and the actual file used to process the request is I:/inetpub/BOB_Services/services.cfc.
When a function in BOB_Services/services.cfc is called using a SOAP client, the folder mapping is invoked and the file used to process the request is I:/inetpub/BOB/services.cfc, IF IT EXISTS. If it does not exist, the file I:/inetpub/BOB_Services/services.cfc is used as expected.
This behaviour appears to be entirely repeatable - I can make a SOAP request, get one result, change the mapping, make another request and get the other result.
Our problem with ColdFusion 10 is that there is the /rest/ URL binded. In our application we have a rest service ourselves. Since ColdFusion 10 it will not work because the URL is already defined and our requests won't get through. Is there any way to disable /rest/ completely? Or do we have to rename our service?
I also tried to edit the axis2.xml file
<parameter name="disableREST" locked="true">true</parameter>
<parameter name="restPath">restdisabled</parameter>
But that won't effect anything on the server.
Thanks in advance!
Disclaimer: I have not tried this and do not have a ColdFusion 10 installation nearby to verify
There is a servlet mapping defined in the web.xml file that defines how to handle /rest/ requests for ColdFusion. So you should be able to rename that URI to something else for your implementation. The web.xml file is located under the wwwroot\WEB-INF directory on your ColdFusion server.
I found some reference to this here - Getting started with RESTful web services in ColdFusion (under the Accessing a REST Service through HTTP section)
That documentation also mentioned updating the uriworkermap.properties file. Here is an excerpt from that page:
rest in the URL specifies that the request is for a REST service. ColdFusion has a servlet mapping for the same and would direct the request to the servlet that handles REST service. If there is a directory in the server webroot with the same name, you must update the servlet mapping in web.xml file inside wwwroot\WEB-INF directory. Also, you must update the same mapping in the uriworkermap.properties file located under the config\wsconfig\1 of the server directory.
You will need to restart the ColdFusion service after making any changes to these files.
While this will not disable the functionality in ColdFusion it will allow your services to respond under the /rest/ URI because ColdFusion will be listening under a different one that you define.
I'm dealing with an annoying problem. I have to make some changes to a large website, which source code is not under my control (sub-contracting). As usually I try to rebuild a local copy of the site to test my changes. The problem is now that almost all paths used in URLs for images, css, links etc. are relative paths pointing to the root directory, like
href="/style/main.css"
This is a problem because I develop on an intranet server and I put this project into a nested directory, so the URL to the project files is sth. like
http://myIntranet.com/checkout/project
What happens is that the paths from the first example don't resolve correctly. So I tried using the base tag to set the directory from which links should be resolved as
That works fine when the path is
href="style/main.css"
without the slash at the start, but fails when the slash exists, because (I think) the link is resolved from the server host, not from the URI in the tag.
So... is there any possibility to make the "/dir/file.html" links resolve from a root othe than the server root? Or do I have to manually remove all prepending slashes from the paths (urgh)?
Thanks in advance. :)
If you're doing local development on a web site you can do either of the below. Both involve moving your project in a base folder instead of working with sub folders inside your document root.
Virtual host on different port
In your web server, create another listening port and virtual host.
After restart, you can access your web server as http://localhost:81 or whatever port number you choose.
Virtual host on same port
Only create another virtual host (like above), but make sure to use named virtual hosting.
After restart, you have to add another entry in your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts) using a simple text editor:
127.0.0.1 localhost myproject1.self.com
The above line should already exist, so you can keep adding more names to it:
127.0.0.1 localhost myproject1.self.com myproject2.self.com
Personal preference
I like the second option, because I don't have to mess with ports and stuff like Facebook API keeps working as you expect.
I hope this all makes sense, let me know otherwise.
I'm running a classic style application in Sinatra and I would like to obtain a URL which the application is bound to. For example, if I start it in a development environment I would expect to get: http://localhost:4567/ while in production environment this would point to: http://example.com/
I know it is possible to retrieve it from the request. However, I need it in configuration block. How to do it?
Use the bind host and bind port method:
set :bind, 'example.com'
set :port, 80
should work.
taken from here. at the beginning of the page you can find how to implement them in you app (just copy it in front of your gets)
