Cloud server requirements

• java (version 11),
• http server to serve client files (index.html, *.js, etc.).

Paths

All application files (server/client) are in the /home/admin/regression-testing-platform directory.

Server deployment

Copy .jar file from server/target directory to AWS instance. You can run server using command: nohup java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=prod $jar_file > output.log 2>&1 &

Client deployment

Copy all files from client/dist/regression-testing-platform directory to your AWS server.

To run client you need http server which will host your files (*.js, index.html, etc.). You can use for example Apache server.

Configuration of the Apache server

All Angular routes should be served via the index.html file. This can be achieved by adding a .htaccess file (in the same directory where the index.html resides) with the following contents.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . index.html [L]
</IfModule>

Remember to edit your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf file. You have to add following piece of code inside the VirtualHost block (assuming the Angular2 app is served from /var/www/html)

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

After above steps are done you have to enable mod rewrite using command:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Apache server - proxy configuration

To properly handle calls from the client to the server you need to configure proxy.

1. Please install proxy mods.

   sudo a2enmod proxy
   sudo a2enmod proxy_http
   

2. Add proxy configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf file (inside the VirtualHost block):

   ProxyPass /api http://localhost:8080
   ProxyPassreverse / http://localhost:8080/
