指向虚拟目录

Question

I deployed an application on Heroku and I used a folder to place all my files inside thus now my application is only accesible from:

http://myapp.heroku.com/app/

Is it possible to create a virtual root to point

http://myapp.heroku.com -> http://myapp.heroku.com/app/ ?

Something similar to Apache VirtualHost?:

<VirtualHost 10.1.2.3>
  ServerAdmin [e-mail]
  DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.foo.com
  ServerName host.foo.com
  ErrorLog logs/host.foo.com-error_log
  TransferLog logs/host.foo.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can configure the apache as well, however, this needs some changes on your system.

I've compiled a blog post recently that shows this (as the last part), it also shows how you can compile your own PHP extensions for heroku:

PHP on Heroku, again (by hakre; 20 May 2012)

It basically works by extending the standard configuration with your additional settings in another file. Look for the Configure the Webroot section, that's where it starts:

Now comes the next tricky part that is specifying the webroot. Specifying the webroot needs a little bit more work and background information. The CVBacklogs applications webroot in the git-tree is src/app/public. For Heroku, by default, the webroot is the root of the git-tree. That directory is internally mapped to /app/www btw. So what this needs is to create a so called Procfile that starts a sh-script each time the Heroku app web-node starts. That script then modifies the Apache configuration and includes your own config which is setting the webroot to /app/www/src/app/public. So we create the procfile, a config directory, the script and the Apache configuration. Ready?
