Bug Description

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.

Another option would be to create a vhost for the dashboard.

I don't understand what the problem is here? The bug is very clear: Don't attach to the web root, but have the dashboard live under /openstack or whatever.

Don't make everyone else suffer until you've figured out how you can get your deployment stuff to adjust this post install.

Do you want me to do it?
