Hi,

I’m wondering if it is possible to configure a root prefix for all requests received by AWX.

Example :

Instead of https://@IP/#/home, AWX serves https://@IP/app/#/home

Thank you.

ahmed,

It might be possible, though it will take some experimenting. I’d start with this line in the nginx configuration:

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/installer/roles/image\_build/templates/nginx.conf.j2#L93](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/installer/roles/image_build/templates/nginx.conf.j2#L93)

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have modified the line with **rewrite ^(._)$http\_host/app(._[^/])$ $1$http\_host$2/ permanent;**

I get **“WARNING django.request Not Found: /app/api”** in awx web logs\*\*.\*\* Should I also change the mapping between the URL path expressions and the views in django ?
