[Bug 1020313] [NEW] openstack-dashboard hijacks the web root

[Soren Hansen]

Public bug reported:

Upon installing openstack-dashboard, any and all vhosts are rendered
unusable for any purpose other than serving openstack-dashboard.

This is because openstack-dashboard's conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d
says:

WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/share/openstack-
dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi

Traditionally, webapps configure themselves to live beneath a
predetermined, sensible path component (typically corresponding to their
package name). /openstack-dashboard would be the immediate choice, but I
guess /openstack would be acceptable as well.

If someone wants it at the root (with which I can certainly sympathize),
that's a post-install customisation. Simply blocking everything else is
not cool.
