Hi all, I am trying to set up httpd to serve galaxy from the root url and to serve static content as described on http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Apache%20Proxy. I will not serve Galaxy under a subdirectory. I have added to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ a file galaxy.conf with contents (CentOS system): RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*) http://localhost:8080$1 [P] Everything works after firing up httpd! :-) But when adding following rewrite rules: RewriteRule ^/static/style/(.*)/home/galaxy/galaxy_dist/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/static/scripts/(.*)/home/galaxy/galaxy_dist/static/scripts/packed/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/static/(.*)/home/galaxy/galaxy_dist/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico/home/galaxy/galaxy_dist/static/favicon.ico [L] RewriteRule ^/robots.txt/home/galaxy/galaxy_dist/static/robots.txt [L] I get a page which is totally scrambled. At first sight, seems to be file permission problems. The apache log file (/var/log/httpd/error_log) shows (last two lines, but the lines before these are similar): *[Tue Aug 02 15:26:03 2011] [error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist: /home/galaxy/galaxy_dist, referer: http://x.x.x.x/root/tool_menu [Tue Aug 02 15:26:03 2011] [error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist: /home/galaxy/galaxy_dist, referer: http://x.x.x.x/history* Has anybody a clue on what I should do? I thought I will try these steps: - I changed the group owner of several of the directories recursively to the apache group - I have set the SELinux permissions with *chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t static* but no joy! :-( Thanks for any hint.
