shlink-web-client version

shlink-web-client_4.1.0_dist

How do you use shlink-web-client

Self-hosted

Summary

I have finally got the backend working but now want the webclient to work

I used the following

download shlinkio web client

sudo wget https://github.com/shlinkio/shlink-web-client/releases/download/v4.1.0/shlink-web-client_4.1.0_dist.zip

extract the zip archive

sudo unzip shlink-web-client_4.1.0_dist.zip

move the extracted files to the web root

sudo mv ./shlink-web-client*/* /var/www/html
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/shlinkio.conf

Added the shlinko.conf

Alias /shlinkio "/var/www/shlinkio/public/"
<Directory /var/www/shlinkio/public>
Options FollowSymlinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Order allow,deny
allow from all

enable the shlinkio site
sudo a2ensite shlinkio

restart apache2 service for the changes to take effect

sudo systemctl restart apache2

generate an API key

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/shlinkio/bin/cli api-key:generate

I then get

Oops! Could not connect to this Shlink server.

Make sure you have internet connection, and the server is properly configured and on-line.

Can i ask what I have done wrong here

thanks

You should be able to see the actual error in the browser's console. Once you have that, there are common issues explained here https://shlink.io/documentation/troubleshooting/

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Is this to do with permissions again? does it need to be created before hand as that's what get unzipped and placed in the
sudo mv ./shlink-web-client*/* /var/www/html

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 17 11:27 assets -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 642 Mar 17 11:27 favicon.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1165 Mar 17 11:27 favicon.ico -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1165 Mar 17 11:27 favicon.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2248 Mar 17 11:27 favicon.svg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 17 11:27 icons -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6100 Mar 17 11:27 index.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 612 Mar 25 14:24 index.nginx-debian.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2074 Mar 17 11:27 manifest.json -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28477 Mar 17 11:27 service-worker.js

When i then enter the API key

index-e7ikdlm2.js:851 GET http://shortner.uta.lk//rest/v3/health 404 (Not Found)

This is a misconfiguration in your Shlink instance's Apache, not a problem with shlink-web-client

[acelaya]

On a second check, I just noticed http://shortner.uta.lk resolves a shlink-web-client instance, so you are setting the wrong URL for the Shlink server.
