Must the polr webpage be at the base of the domain? #573

Open ifuchs opened 3 years ago

ifuchs commented 3 years ago

I have a domain which has a webpage and I would like to use this domain for shortened urls but keep the existing index.html. Is this possible? That is, say the domain is my.domain, must the polr webpage be at that address or could it be anywhere else and still create shortened urls beginning with my.domain?

Can anyone please answer this or at least make an informed guess?

Some guesses; A) use a subdomain, eg: polr.my.domain

B) use redirects in nginx/Apache I think harder. You'd have to know all things you don't want polr to process (index.html, stuff/about.php, newstuff/video.mp4) and direct them first. Then pass anything bthat doesn't match to polr.

It's been a long while since I used polr and I can't recall how it was setup with nginx. I think subdomain is easiest way

Subdomain is fine but does that mean all shortened urls will have to use the subdomain or can the polr ui page be accessed via the subdomain while shortened urls use the (shorter) root domain?

They'd all use the subdomain. The subdomain can be a single letter, A link would be l.domain.com/short => www.domain.com/some/other/place

Thanks. I’m looking for a way to use the domain name with no subdomain but keep polr page anywhere else. I gather yourls can do that so perhaps best bet is to use that. On Thu, Nov 5, 2020 at 1:10 PM Steve Root notifications@github.com wrote:
