sphurl's Introduction

Sphurl

Most simple URL shortener.

It creates mod_rewrite entries in a .htaccess file.

Installation

Your webserver needs to support Python WSGI.

Example virtualhost config for Apache with FCGID:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName example.org
DocumentRoot /home/example/www/sphurl/
<Directory "/home/example/www/sphurl/">
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI -Indexes
    AllowOverride FileInfo Options Limit
    AddHandler wsgi-script .py
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Place the Sphurl files in the /home/example/www/sphurl/ directory.

You should now be able to access the web interface by going to http://example.org/sphurl.py

Notes

Make sure the paths in the .py file are correct. A WSGI environment is very limited so best use absolute paths.
Also make sure the permission are correct!
This is probably the smallest program I've written ever :)

Example .htaccess file generated by sphurl:
