Custom Portal Setup Help Apache

[Nishan Perera]

Hello,

Is there anyone who has setup custom portal url ? Looking for some help to do the config. Right now im getting error as "404 Page Not Found" . custom portal working with the Custom ID but not with the Custom URL.

I went through the forum as well, but couldn't find any answers. Seeking for help.

Hello, as far as i remember you have to configure vhost for this to work. EspoCRM devs mentioned that in docs i think. I can test that and let you know.

Here you have apache config example:

https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/portal/#crmportalconf

Hi emil, I tried that. But no luck. can you try and post actual config, so I can get an idea of it.

everything is working without problem.
You have to point domain to espocrm main folder. After that you have to create portal in EspoCRM, copy id of that portal and adjust htaccess with portal domain and portal id.
Here you have my htaccess file AFTER modification:

As you can see here: https://demo.devcrm.it you have light theme, and on https://dark.devcrm.it you have dark theme. It's because i've created custom portal for dark.devcrm.it, where i've set dark theme as default
So it's working

rabii - yes, you have to create additional vhost for portal domain also.

Even if the custom url is e.g https:example.com/clients ?

i am trying to set up custom portals url in this format (https:example.com/clients || https:example.com/partners) instead of using subdomain format but didn't work.

it is difficult to get it done i guess.

Thanks for your reply though

rabii - i don't think it's difficult, you just have to describe what you want to achieve. Go to official demo and check how they setup portals. Basically you can have default portal under address https://demo.eu.espocrm.com/portal/, you can also create additional portals under address https://demo.eu.espocrm.com/portal/client/, but you have to use portal in path.

Hi Nishan,
Also, the important part here is to set properly the Mod rewrite rules in the Apache vhost https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...-rewrite-rules.
Here is an example of my configs that works like a charm:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName asd.com

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/asd

    <Directory /var/www/html/asd/>

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all

        <ifModule mod_headers.c>
            Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE"
        </ifModule>

[COLOR=#e74c3c]        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

            RewriteEngine On

            # Custom portal URL
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^asd.com$
            RewriteRule ^client - [L]

            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^asd.com$
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/portal/5a8a9b9328e6a955b/.*$
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /portal/5a8a9b9328e6a955b/$1 [L]

        </IfModule>[/COLOR]

    </Directory>

[COLOR=#e74c3c]    <Directory /var/www/html/asd/portal>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/html/asd/api/v1/portal-access>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/html/asd/api/v1/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>[/COLOR]

</VirtualHost>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

The "red" configs are required for the proper Portal work.

Maximus too complicated I've configured vhost to point domain to main espocrm folder + i've adjust htaccess

[rabii]

Hey @emillod

Can you please share how you configured the portal custom domain. I am trying to create two custom portals one for our customers and other for our partners and I don't know how to do it. Seems you find an easy way to do it. Could you please share how to do it ?

Many thanks

Much appreciated.

best regards,
Rabii
