Dear sage community,
Is there a simple way to move our sage server from https://our.computer.edu:8000 to https://our.computer.edu:8000/sage?
We are running on Centos5.5 if it makes a difference.
Thanks for your time, Tom
Success! The saged and apache serving of hg are running together. We did not change anything on the sage server which serves sage through the standard https://our.computer.edu:8000/ and the hg respositories are visible on http://our.computer.edu/hg We followed the suggestion of using (actually the default!) VirtualHost settings in apache
<VirtualHost *>
ServerSignature email
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
LogLevel warn
HostNameLookups off
</VirtualHost>
(note we found no proxy... directives were necessary) and used the usual ScriptAlias /hg /our/path/to/hgweb.cgi It took us a while because there are so many little things to check; permissions, and selinux, but finally it worked in this super simple way!
You may be able to use Apache's mod_proxy and VirtualHosts to solve your problem. I suggest looking at ProxyPass, ProxyPassReverse, ProxyPreserveHost, and maybe also mod_rewrite's rewriting directives.
A small example: I appended
<VirtualHost *>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8000/
<Location /hg/>
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on my Fedora 12 machine. Then, I (re)started Apache with service http restart and separately ran hg serve in a local Mercurial repository. With this setup, I could access the repository at http://localhost/hg/.
You could also try this with a notebook server started with interface='localhost'. In this case, the ProxyPreserveHost directive is important --- it will fix the problem described at #8205.
However, I don't how well this works with secure servers and URLs. You may need to tweak the configuration further. Please let us know!

Why do you want to move it? Would a redirect from /sage back to the current address be ok?
We would like to move sage so that we can have other served applications at the same web site. For example we want a mercurial repository url http://our.computer.edu/hg We are flexible if you can think of alternate ways of doing this.
