Setting

HTTP Bind

Description

The hostname the FishEye web server will bind to. This can take the form of a host name and port number, or you can leave the host name blank. If no host name is specified, then FishEye will bind to all available interfaces.

Examples

You can use bindings like the following:

Host name and port number:

hostname:8060

Port number only(requires a leading colon):

:8060

IP address and port number:

10.0.0.11:60

(At least one of 'AJP13 Bind' or 'HTTP Bind' must be set.)

Do not add http:// to the front i.e. do not add http://hostname:8060 or http://10.0.0.11:60. Simply define hostname:port or IpAddress:port

Restart required

Yes

Setting	Web context
Description	By default, the FishEye application can be accessed via `http://HOST:PORT/`, where HOST and PORT are defined as above. You can force the FishEye application to be hosted on a different 'context' or 'path' by specifying a value here.
Example	If you specify a web context of 'fisheye' then FishEye will be accessible from `http://HOST:PORT/fisheye/` instead of `http://HOST:PORT/`.
Restart required	Yes

Setting	Proxy scheme
Description	Can be set if you are forwarding through to FishEye from another web server. If you set proxy values, you must also add a matching site URL (see below).
Example	Valid settings are `http` and `https`.
Restart required	Yes

Setting	Proxy host
Description	Can be set if you are forwarding through to FishEye from another web server. If you set proxy values, you must also add a matching site URL (see below).
Example	A valid setting would be `www.example.com`, where 'example' is the domain name of your web server.
Restart required	Yes

Setting	Proxy port
Description	Can be set if you are forwarding through to FishEye from another web server. If you set proxy values, you must also add a matching site URL (see below).
Example	The port number of the web server, an integer from 0 through 32,765.
Restart required	Yes

Setting

Restart required	No

Setting

Site URL

Description

The base URL for this FishEye instance. If not specified, FishEye will attempt to determine this value.

You need to set this if you are forwarding through to FishEye from another web server, or if FishEye does not correctly determine the host name you want FishEye users to see FishEye on.

Fisheye uses this URL to generate links in notification E-mails.

If you have set a proxy scheme/host/port, the values used there must match the site URL.

Do not include a trailing slash ('/') at the end of the URL.

Example

http://www.example.com/apps/fisheye
