Dzhang-like templating engine or how to fix swig?

Question

Node.js

Good afternoon.
Upgrading node.js from 0.7.9 to 0.8.6 did not go unnoticed — in addition to a couple of deprecated functions, express had an error when configuring the django-like templating engine swig :
TypeError: Object function app(req, res){ app.handle(req , res); } has no method 'register'

app.register('.html', swig);<br>
app.set('views', VIEWS_PATH);<br>
app.set('view engine', 'html');<br>

I would be glad to know the solution to the problem with swig, or hear the names of similar proven template engines. Thank you.

Answer 1

So. The source of the problems is express.js updated from 2.5.0 to 3.0.0.
The migration guide is here - github.com/visionmedia/express/wiki/Migrating-from-2.x-to-3.x , but not everything is so simple: the register function, which had problems, was replaced with an engine that works somewhat otherwise.
Here is what a long search and digging in the code gave:
the author of swig himself decided to switch from express.js to consolidate.js. However, you can still make swig work under the third express by adding to swig/index.js:

exports.__express = function (path, options, fn) {
  options = options || {};
  try {
    options.filename = path;
    var tmpl = exports.compileFile(_.last(path.split('/')));
    fn(null, tmpl.render(options));
  } catch (err) {
    fn(err);
  }
};

and in your project itself, replacing the first line with the second :

    app.register('.html', swig);         // для express v.2
    app.engine('.html', swig.__express); // для express v.3

Changes in the express also affected other modules used in my project, in particular socket.io, but this is a completely different story.
I hope the results of my search will help others.

Answer 2

this entry is enough for me to work phpmyadmin from a folder inside the site:

location /myadmin {
      index index.php;
}

Answer 3

For example something like this:

location /samle {
   root /var/www/test2/sample;
   rewrite ^sample/(.*)$ /$1 break;
}

Answer 4

With this config "No input file specified."

location /sample {
      index index.html index.php;
      #try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
      alias /var/www/test2/sample;
      rewrite ^sample/(.*)$ /$1 break;
      
      location ~ \.php$ {
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param	PATH_TRANSLATED  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param	SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
      }
  }

With this 404 Not Found

location /sample {
      root /var/www/test2/sample;
      rewrite ^sample/(.*)$ /$1 break;
  }

In the last example, I change root to /var/www/test2 - again No input file specified.

Answer 5

Set root inside locations, without any set, and in the server section, it is not necessary. Once you ask it, you can't change it.
