Using VuFind as the Site Root
This page refers to VuFind 1.x; for the VuFind 2.x instructions, see this page.
By default, VuFind is configured to reside within a directory of your website. However, if you want to configure VuFind to load at the root of your domain, follow these steps:
- In the [Site] section of web/conf/config.ini, set the “path” setting to “” (empty double quotes) and the “url” setting to “http://yourdomain.edu” (obviously replacing this with your real domain name).
- In httpd-vufind.conf, make the following changes:
- Remove the Alias line at the top of the file.
- RewriteBase should be /
- Remove the vufind path from the <Location> tag used for Admin permissions.
- You may need to create a virtual host in Apache to complement httpd-vufind.conf. For example:
NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /user/local/vufind/web ServerName yourdomain.edu ServerAlias www.yourdomain.edu </VirtualHost>
