Headless setup under apache2 / ubuntu 12.04

jobe451 commented 10 years ago

I operate recoll in a headless setup. For that I had to do a couple of tweaks. Most importantly the changes in webui.py. Without them I got errors using apache2/wsgi.

The setups features are:

Runs on a dedicated ubuntu 12.04 server
Indexes files on a NAS
Makes files available for search for several users in the local network
Files are served by an apache2 server using wsgi. That way I can protect the content using authentication / TLS.

The changes in this pull request are:

solve error under wsgi: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 26: ordinal not in range(128)
allow having recoll under an arbitrary subdirectory
added documentation for headless setups using wsgi
make download the default file fetch behaviour

Wow, amazing - thanks for doing this! Have no way of testing at the moment but will review and merge at first opportunity.
