allow different cache folder

[bnomei]

i get that its easier to setup if its just /static but i think it would make sense to allow the folder to be changed. mentioning that that folder in the htaccess/nginx config needs to be adjusted as well should suffice.

personally i would i use public folder setups wit CI all the time so i would like to set it to storage/caches/static/.

Hey there,

I know it's a closed topic, but I'm struggling to make it work with a public folder setup. Which is exactly the same as in your configuration bnomei/kirby3-with-public-folder-kit. So on my PLESK panel I set the website root to mywebsite.com/public and so when I type mywebsite.com, i'm actually inside the /public folder.

The problem is that I'm not sure how to reflect this with the .htaccess files and my config.php.

On my config.php I tried to following:

'cache' => [
    'pages' => [
      'active' => false,
      'type'   => 'static',
      'root'=> '/storage/cache/'
    ],
]

My .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.html [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI} -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

But apparently the %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} points to the mywebsite.com/public/. How can I point it to the correct folder which should be: mywebsite.com/storage/cache?

Any hint would be appreciated.

@psntr You can replace the document root placeholder with the full absolute path to the directory on your server.

@lukasbestle thank you for the fast reply. So you meant on the .htaccess file right?

config.php:

'cache' => [
    'pages' => [
      'active' => true,
      'type'   => 'static',
    ]
  ],

I see the files are been created in the correct folder but I don't see them being used in the frontend.

.htaccess:

RewriteCond /home/httpd/vhosts/mywebsite.com/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /home/httpd/vhosts/mywebsite.com/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.html [L]

RewriteCond /home/httpd/vhosts/mywebsite.com/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /home/httpd/vhosts/mywebsite.com/storage/cache/%{SERVER_NAME}/pages/%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

[lukasbestle]

Yes.

That's odd, the html files are in the correct folder mywebsite.com/storage/cache/ with correct subfolder and so on. But in the frontend, it still the PHP file being shown?

The solution for me was to create a symlink, I saw a similar case that solved that way on the forum so I tried and it works. Full thread here: Kirby forum

Thanks for the update, I will add the insights from this thread and the forum thread to the plugin's README.
