Configuration/Webserver

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

Apache 2

Click here to read instructions on setting up Dragonfly with Apache 2 and mod_python.

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.

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.

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.
