Topic: Little bug with Ibays....

[Patrick F. Ducharme]

Hi all,

I have a Linksys router and my ISP block port 80.  With a Linksys router, I can forward the incoming port (81) to an Internal PC port (80, the default Apache port).  All that is ok, when We type like http://gold.ath.cx:81/, it goes to the Primary Ibay's html folder.

The problem is with the Ibays.  If I create an Ibay, admit "data", and type http://gold.ath.cx:81/data, it try to enter in the Linksys router config page rather thab going to the ibays.  If I put a "/" at the end, like http://gold.ath.cx:81/data/, it's ok !!

Why ???  

I think it's in the SME default template to call the Ibays :  When we type the URL without the "/", it go to the root of the apache and look for a directory of the name after the domain name, it found it, but, because the SME still on his default port, it forward the request to http://[domain name]/[ibay name] without the port.

What can I do ??  It's annoying to always put the "/" at the end of a URL to reach my ibays...

Thank you for your suggestion..

FYI,
I also have the problem of port 80 being blocked by my ISP. I use tzo (tzo.com) to host my dns. The service will do the redirection for you. You just have to port forward the desired port number to your webserver, leaving Apache at port 80. With this service, there is no need to add :xx at the end of your URL.
BTW - I have the same problem of adding a '/' to the end of ibay names. I just got used to it, spending my energies on all the great features and add-ons of E-Smith.
