I have got a couple of Laravel applications that use Nova. All these apps are accessible using the same domain but under different paths. For example, consider following the directory structure & domain.
Domain: my-domain.com
Directory structure:
- Web server root dir
- apps
- app 1
- app 2
- App dir
- App 1
- App 2
The above apps can be accessed via my-domain.com\apps\app-1 and my-domain.com\apps\app-2
app 1 and app 2 directories are symlinks to the public directory of the actual Laravel applications(Eg, App dir > App 1 & App dir > App 2). The Laravel application is working as expected, but Nova is not.
When I try to access the Nova app via my-domain.com\apps\app-1\nova\login all I get is an empty page with some errors on the browser console that shows the invalid path to the CSS/JS files(see the screenshot). The subdirectory path is not added when the assets are loaded.
I tried to fix this issue by following this solution and creating the layout file inside resources/views/vendor/nova/layout.blade.php by copying the contents from vendor/laravel/nova/resources/views/layout.blade.php and loading the asset files using the asset() helper. This resolved the issue and the Nova login page is working. However, after the page loading is finished the URL is altered and the subdirectory path is appended. So the initial login URL my-domain.com\apps\app-1\nova\login is automatically changed to my-domain.com\apps\app-1\apps\app-1\nova\login and nothing else will work thereafter. For example, submitting the login form will send a request to my-domain.com\nova\login which results in a 404.
I saw another thread similar to this issue but couldn't find any solution. There is also another issue which says Nova does not support the subdirectory implementation.
Note: I understood this is not a proper way to implement Laravel apps but I can't rewrite the whole application due to this issue.
Thank you
Web server root dir?
