Alter Bamboo's Root Directory

[aram.dermenjian]

I'm trying to install Bamboo, but I'm having a slight issue. I want the website link to be:

http://www.example.com/bamboo

rather than

http://www.example.com:8085

When I try to go to /bamboo I get:

Page not found

Sorry, the page you were trying to reach does not exist. Try going back to the dashboard and browse the site to Find the page you were looking for.

Go to...

And when I try to go to :8085 It just fails.

Anyone have any thoughts? I double checked and bamboo is up and running. I'm also tailing the logs and I do see the request come in (at least for /bamboo, not for :8085)

2013-08-07 21:27:13,352 INFO [qtp1800130962-134] [AccessLogFilter] xxxx  GET http://www.example.com/bamboo 64737kb

Thanks in advance =)

Bamboo is most likely up and running (port 8085 is default) but that port isn't exposed to the outside. If you can check localhost:8085 to verify bamboo is up and running that might help troubleshoot.

Not sure what technology you're using but we are using Apache to run a base web server on port 80 and have this config in our httpd-vhosts.conf. Other systems will require virtual hosts or url rewrites as well.

In this example, I added bamboo to our existing test server for http://testjira/ reaches Jira and http://testjira/bamboo/ reaches Bamboo.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName testjira
    ServerAdmin foo@bar.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
    ErrorLog "logs/jira-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/jira-access.log" common
	ProxyRequests Off
	ProxyPreserveHost On
	<Proxy *>
		Order deny,allow
		Allow from all
	</Proxy>
# bamboo
	ProxyPass /bamboo http://testjira:8085/bamboo
	ProxyPassReverse /bamboo http://testjira:8085/bamboo
# jira
	ProxyPass / http://testjira:8082/
	ProxyPassReverse / http://testjira:8082/
</VirtualHost>

I was able to access Bamboo at port 8085 to configure the Base Url setting under Admin -> System | General Configuration. Since you can't seem to access it, you may also need to configure Bamboo further. See http://mobmad.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/setup-jira-confluence-crowd-fisheye-bamboo-to-bypass-firewall-by-running-them-all-via-apache-proxy-on-port-80/ for more details.

The mobmad link you provided worked perfectly! I changed the following line:

wrapper.app.parameter.4=/bamboo

in conf/wrapper.conf and it got me to the proper page. Thanks =)

You can check [bamboo-install]/conf/wrapper.conf for the port number Bamboo is running at (default is 8085). Most web logs by default will only log port 80 attempts so that could easily explain why you don't see any log.
