Static Files (.js and .css) Not Loading

[walidmujahid]

I'm trying to get FOSWiki up and running on a Digitalocean Ubuntu 24.04 droplet. I tried both building the image and using the one from Docker Hub. I was just keeping it simple at first and running the docker run -idt -p 80:80 timlegge/docker-foswiki.

The browser console shows ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED errors for all .js and .css files, even those that should be served directly by nginx. Here's an example:

GET https://167.71.185.130/pub/System/PageOptimizerPlugin/cache/5e8727b206ad93db4e301dfe8d11be97.css net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
... many more similar errors ...

The nginx error log:

2024/08/30 21:20:41 [notice] 24#24: *1 ".*" matches "/", client: {CENSORING_MY_IP}, server: _, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "167.71.185.130"

I hope to look at it this weekend. Do you have any instructions on reproducing your setup?

[walidmujahid]

I installed the latest docker engine on the newly spun up Digitalocean droplet following: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository

Then I would just start the image with docker run -idt -p 80:80 timlegge/docker-foswiki, no changes made.

Edit: sorry, as I install via apt, I meant to link to those instructions.

Hi

You started the container on port 80/tcp (http) but you are trying to connect on 443/tcp (https). I always use docker-compose to start the containers. See https://github.com/timlegge/docker-foswiki/blob/master/docker-compose.2-simple-https.yml for a sample.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.2-simple-https.yml up

The other option is to:

docker run -idt -p 80:80 -p 443:443 timlegge/docker-foswiki

but you will need to configure the https manually. You can also:

docker exec -it [container_name] /bin/bash

and grep for the https in the config to see if you changed something to https:

`
grep https /var/www/foswiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg

`

I got working. I used the docker compose, replaced the key and certificate. I just had to make sure to add https when loading port 8443 in the browser.

Glad to hear - docker compose makes it a little easier for sure. I probably should update the documentation since the docker run is pretty much where you start...

Close the discussion if you are fine
