Change openstack-dashboard document root from /dashboard to /

2015 年 04 月 27 日

The default entry for OpenStack Dashboard is http://example.com/dashboard. If you would like to avoid the subpath, here are two methods.

Modify the configuration

Sometimes we want this direct url for OpenStack dashboard: http://example.com/, not http://example.com/dashboard/

To change openstack-dashboard login url from /dashboard to / run the following steps:

  1. Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf

    Change

    WSGIScriptAlias /dashboard /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi

    into

    WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi

  2. Edit /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings

    Add the following lines:

    LOGIN_URL = '/auth/login/'
LOGOUT_URL = '/auth/logout/'
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
  3. restart apache2 service

Use Apache redirect

Another way to accomplish this is using redirect in Apache. This method is preferred for me.

Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf

RedirectMatch ^/$ http://www.example.com/dashboard

Please note that the following would not work correctly:

Redirect / https://www.example.com/dashboard/

Because it will also redirect all sub paths, not only ”/“.
