    ATutor 154 behind proxy

    Hi! I've an installation behind a proxy. The proxy is administered not by me. In the proxy there's a rule that rewrite the URL, mapping
    http://<myserver>/ATutor/ to http://fing.edu.uy/iimpi/e-cursos/.

    This is causing several problems using the software...

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Mario

    Ask the admins to disable the proxy.

    Sorry Joel, this is not an option.
    Anything else?

    Again: we're behind a proxy that rewrites de URL.
    From anybrowser the URL is http://www.fing.edu.uy/iimpi/e-cursos when the real server is http://gurney.fing.edu.uy/ATutor (which cannot be accessed outside fing.edu.uy)

    Please, some help or information?

    Thanks,

    Try replacing the value of the <base href> element in the include/header.inc.php file of the theme you're using, with a hard coded proxy URL.

    Re: ATutor 1.5.4 behind proxy

    Thanks, Greg. That seems to work...now I'm checking.
    I discover another problems.

    Imagine that a course (id=1) has this structure under content directory:

    content/1/teorico
    content/1/practico
    content/1/imagenes

    The course pages have url like ./teorico/capitulo1.pdf. I think that's ok. But, when I enter the course that url is resolve as

    http://www.fing.edu.uy/iimpi/e-cursos/teorico/capitulo1.pdf.
    As you can see, the reference to the course itself is missing.

    Thanks,
    Mario

    Re: ATutor 1.5.4 behind proxy

    Actually the base href is dynamic, so you won't be able to use a hard coded one. There's nothing more we can suggest at the moment. I've posted it to the features tracker, but it may be a while before we can get to it.

    It might make it into the next release, a few weeks away, if there were funds to pay for the work. Or you could try to solve the problem yourself, and we could integrate your solution into a coming release.
