How to change the ezeelogin web URL by removing the /ezlogin suffix?

Overview:  This article explains how to change the Ezeelogin web URL to eliminate the /ezlogin suffix from the end of our URL. To achieve this, modify the uri_path, cookie_path, and www_folder variables in the /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/ez.conf file, and then copy the Ezeelogin web files to the desired directory within the web server's document root.

  • Ezeelogin web files (blue.css common index.php themes) should be placed under the document root specified in the Apache Virtual Host configuration
  • www_folder in the ez.conf must match the DocumentRoot specified in your Apache virtual host configuration

To change the Ezeelogin web URL from

Example: 

http://cloudweg.com/ezlogin  to  http://cloudweg.com

Step 1: Check the Document Root for the virtual host cloudweg.com in the Apache web configuration file. 

Document Root /var/www/html/cloudweg.com/

Step 2: Edit /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/ez.conf and make the following changes. Replace the below with the correct details

uri_path /ezlogin
cookie_path /ezlogin
www_folder /var/www/html/ezlogin

TO

uri_path /
cookie_path /
www_folder /var/www/html/cloudweg.com/

Step 3: All the Ezeelogin web files need to be copied from the folder.

/var/www/html/ezlogin to /var/www/html/cloudweg.com

root@gateway:~# cp -r /var/www/html/ezlogin/* /var/www/html/cloudweg.com/

Again, if you want to access your Ezeelogin GUI as "http://cloudweg.com/ezlogin", Copy the ezeelogin web files from /var/www/html/cloudweg.com/ to /var/www/html/cloudweg.com/ezlogin/

After copying, edit the following variable in /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/ez.conf

uri_path /ezlogin
cookie_path /ezlogin
www_folder /var/www/html/cloudweg.com/ezlogin
