Running PW in a sub-folder

[lesaff]

Hi @thomasaull

Just a note, when running PW as a subfolder, you have to define the API endpoint with the subfolder name. Example, if PW is installed in a cms folder, the endpoint will be cms/api

It took me a few tries to figure this out.

How is this done?
My installation is in a subdir called "api/" ... this seams to conflict with the plugins default Endpoint "api"
After installation of this module on a fresh ProcessWire installation i can't access the admin UI or any page anymore.
Only on the start page the the following is displayed:

message": "no endpoint defined"

@sinky set your endpoint to api/api

You need to change the endpoint to your installtion subfolder (for your case /api/) in the RestApi configuration page :

1. Select Modules in menu.
2. Find RestApi module in the list below and click settings.
3. Change endpoint here :
   

if you cant access the admin UI, you can try changing RestApi module settings in PhpMyAdmin.

1. Select the database connected to your processwire installation.
2. Select the "modules" table
3. Find the RestApi row
4. You can change the RestApi endpoint setting in the data column to api/api

Thanks for helping out @nwabeen 👍

@thomasaull are you planning on fixing this to have only the additional url-part in the input field?

@yannbolliger Since it's not really working out to keep a good maintenance on this project, I decided (see: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/20006-module-restapi/?do=findComment&comment=204917) to deprecate it in favour of the newly released AppApi module: https://modules.processwire.com/modules/app-api/ Please continue to make any suggestions there.

Personally I think its a good idea to keep the endpoint setting as is. Some people might want to use an endpoint other than api. Also there is a note below the field, which clearly describes the usage in combination with a subdirectory.
