Little problem with integration of SS in existing dynamic site (Java)
27 March 2008 at 2:03am Last edited: 27 March 2008 2:03am
Hi all.
I'm trying to integrate Silverstripe into an already existing website to see whether we can replace the existing front-end with Silverstripe. I'm quite stuck at the moment.
The situation:
Existing website is living in the doc-root.
Silverstripe is living in it's own alias (e.g. /stripe)All request to pages (dirs) which are not in the doc-root get rewritten (passthrough) to /stripe. So instead of www.mysite.com/stripe/mypage I can access it through www.mysite.com/mypage.
I added a rewrite-base to silverstripe's .htaccess :
RewriteBase /also tried
RewriteBase /stripeThe Problem:
All pages and stuff work perfectly ; the problem arises when logging in to the CMS :www.mysite.com/admin :
- Ends up at www.mysite.com/stripe/Security/Login and it displays the login form
- if I enter incorrect credentials , It displays the correct error-message
- If I enter correct credentials , it tries to do something but ends up just doing a page refresh. I did not get logged in.www.mysite.com/stripe/admin :
- Also ends up at www.mysite.com/stripe/Security/Login and displays the login form
- If I enter correct credentials, it logs me in to the silverstripe backend perfectly.Problem is ; I loose my session after a couple of clicks in the backend interface (you have been logged out of the CMS bla bla)....
This problably has something to do with cookies and security , but I cannot for the life of me figure it out...
I'm hoping someone here has an idea or even tried doing the same thing. Thanks in advance.

When starting a session , Silverstripe tells PHP to send a cookie with the current Base-URL as the cookie path. This is all good , but in my situation I want the cookie to be set at the root (/) so it works for the entire domain.
I tried setting the baseURL in the config by calling Director::setBaseURL("/") , but doing that gives me a very nasty and weird error ...
I ended up editing the sapphire/core/session class forcing Silverstripe to create the cookie for the entire domain (/).

Nope.. I thought I fixed it , but I didn't...
I randomly get logged out of Silverstripe ..... the cookie is set at the top level (/)....

Hmmm..
I replaced the function protcolAndHost() in sapphire/core/control/Director.php so it returns a fixed value (my domain name and protcol e.g: http:www.blabla.com )...
At least silverstripe produces the right paths now....

To continue this story...
The site is up and running (live), but now I have a new problem.
As long as you do not log in to the CMS , the site runs fine. Once you log-in and start working in the CMS , the system will function properly at first. After a couple of actions (saving pages / deleting pages / clicking around in the site-tree) , the system slows down to a crawl (only for the current user, the rest of the world can still perfectly use the site). It will still continue to function , but excruciatingly slow (I'm talking minutes for all actions : creating pages / moving pages / viewing a draft page).
My guess is something is going wrong with the load-balancer and sessions , but I can't get my head around it.
