I recently bought an EV cert for my domain and I wanted to use it on both my main site and my forum. To solve this, I followed this guide and moved it to a subdirectory using a Varnish configuration. The only noticeable problem was that this broke all current and new uploads. Existing uploads 404…

So poking around in the rails production log, I found this when uploading a file: Started GET "/forum/uploads.json?client_id=xxx&authenticity_token=xxx" for xxx at 2015-08-27 02:15:10 +0000 ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/uploads.json") /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby…

Did you check our topics in the howto category on subfolder? https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=Subfolder%20category%3Ahowto

I did. In the OP I stated I followed this howto: [imagem] Serve Discourse from a subfolder (path prefix) instead of a subdomain Self-Hosting warning Discourse Official Statement about Subfolder setup We support subfolder setups for our hosted customers at the enterprise …

Yeah looks like the issue is you changed to subfolder after the fact so all your uploads are in the old place. Any advice in this case @neil or @zogstrip ? Maybe we can update the howto so it covers this case as well.

Does the howto therefore assume a clean Discourse installation (e.g. not a rebuild)?

So I did a fresh install and restored from a backup. Everything is working perfectly now.

I don’t know why new uploads would have been failing… To fix existing uploads you need to run the remap tool. Something like this: bundle exec script/discourse remap '/uploads' '/forum/uploads'

And remap tool is covered in the existing howtos?

Moving Discourse to subdirectory caused all uploads to break

Of course it is (because I just added it). The last section of this post mentions it.
