Configuration/Webserver

Dragonfly requires some setting up with a web server. Follow the following appropriate instructions:

[edit] Apache 2

[edit] bongo-standalone

If bongo-standalone is started then Dragonfly is already set up. Dragonfly's URL will be http://servername:8080/ (assuming 8080 is the port used, and servername links to your Bongo-installed compuer). Information on how to start bongo-standalone is located here. To continue, please read the following section.

[edit] lighttpd

Integration of Bongo in lighttpd is not available at the moment, so it must be proxied from bongo-standalone. Follow the steps below:

• Start bongo-standalone on a non-standard port, e.g. 2200. (For information on how to start bongo-standalone, please see this page)
• Make sure mod_proxy is loaded by lighttpd. Please see the lighttpd documentation for your distribution for information on how to do this.
• Add the following to your lighttpd.conf

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/" {
    proxy.server = ( "/" =>
                       ( (
                          "host" => "127.0.0.1",
                          "port" => 2200
                        ) )
                    )
}

• Restart lighttpd. This is usually done with one of the following commands:

  Debian or Ubuntu

  sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

  Fedora, CentOS or Redhat Enterprise Linux

  sudo service lighttpd restart

  SUSE

  /etc/rc.d/init.d/lighttpd restart

• Now you can visit http://servername/ (assuming the server is listening on port 80.

[edit] Using Bongo

Now that you have configured Bongo, and your webserver, you are set up with Bongo!

You can access the main interface at http://servername/ and you can access the administration interface at http://servername/admin/, assuming the port in use is 80.
