cross-origin-resource-sharing on Windows

[dannyscarborough]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to connect my OnlyOffice document server to XWiki and I can see referenced at the bottom of the installation instructions (https://store.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/OnlyOfficeConnectorApplication#installation) I either need to put a proxy in front of my installation or copy the conf. Can you confirm I should be copying this file to C:\Program Files\ONLYOFFICE\DocumentServer\nginx\conf\includes ?

Because when I copy this config I receive this error in my nginx error.log nginx: [emerg] "proxy_cache" zone "fonts_cache" is unknown in C:\Program Files\ONLYOFFICE\DocumentServer\nginx/conf/nginx.conf:34

I'm currently using the latest build of OnlyOffice Document server on Windows 2008 R2.

Any help would be really appreciated 😸

@dannyscarborough I confirm that's the right location.

"proxy_cache" zone "fonts_cache" is unknown

I found this on a quick search https://serverfault.com/questions/452777/proxy-cache-zone-static-is-unknown . Looks like you also need to configure the proxy_cache_path. I've no idea why this is required on Windows and not on Linux.

However, our sysadmin recommends using the first option indicated in the installation instructions: put a reverse proxy in front of OnlyOffice, rather than changing the OnlyOffice configuration (which might make future upgrades difficult).

put a reverse proxy in front of OnlyOffice

Can you suggest any guides that I could follow to setup a reverse proxy on Windows? I have zero experience with this sort of thing.

@dannyscarborough you can install nginx on Windows and modify conf/nginx.conf by adding this configuration snippet which you need to adapt to your setup.

@mflorea Thank you, I'm guessing this needs installing on a different server not the one with Only Office on?

[mflorea]

No, it doesn't have to be on a different machine. The reverse proxy should be on the same machine as the OnlyOffice server.

Thanks, I've replaced the default nginx.conf with this

however, I'm seeing this error in the console when I try to load any office document in XWiki:

function generateEvent(s, args) { var evt = document.createEvent("CustomEvent"); evt.initCustomEvent(s, false, false, args); return evt; }; this.open = function (reconnectAttempt) { ws = new WebSocket(self.url, protocols || []);

Do I have it setup correctly?
