<div class="">Although there are instructions for running ArchivesSpace with a prefix, I don’t believe it’s fully supported or tested. I did try to configure this at one time, but abandoned it after running into problems with the asset pipeline URLs. If you
do want to see this feature working, please vote on it in Jira: it’s been a low priority in the past. </div>

<div class="">I just gave this a try on a test server, and it actually seems to work somewhat better that the last time I tried it. If you open the javascript console on your browser and you browse, you will see a bunch of 404 errors for hostname/assets/… (
i.e. /staff is not getting prefixed onto all of the javascript and css assets as it does for other URLs. ) </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Also: some redirects to the home page also omit the /staff prefix and send you back to the server root.</div>
<div class="">Some of those redirects appear to log me out as well, so when I go back to home I have to sign in again. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Despite the missing assets, most of the functionality appears to work for me, including editing top containers. Browsing top_containers after a search, however, doesn’t show any styling. It also doesn’t show any 404’s — it doesn’t appear to be
trying to load any other resources. However, the view and edit buttons work for me. Since top_containers are a new addition, it’s not surprising that it hasn’t been tested with that prefix option. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Most of the missing assets appear to be images which wouldn’t greatly affect the functionality of the page. </div>
<div class="">However, I did think I saw some 404’s for javascript files while browsing around, although I can’t find the source of it again to reproduce it. I expected more breakage than I’m seeing now. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You can probably kludge the staff interface into working by adding redirects for /assets to /staff/assets. </div>
<div class="">I tried this initially, but if you also want to run the public interface with a different prefix, the problem is that you will also have /assets that should be redirected to /public/assets, and no way to disambiguate the two. </div>

<div>I assume you meant AppConfig[:frontend_url] above. I don’t think you want to change that. Only the :frontend_proxy_url . </div>
