WebUI only shows "Command line prefix" about php-spx

[NoiseByNorthwest]

Got it. It is not supposed to be exposed in this way, but rather served by PHP. Indeed the extension will intercept normal PHP execution for its routes (i.e. those prefixed with _spx).

So what you need is simply to configure your vhost so that PHP is triggered for /_spx* URLs which is already the case for a classic "url rewriting" setup (e.g. a vhost configured for Symfony) where any non existing file is served by PHP.

For security reasons SPX does not intercept normal execution by default, you need to be authenticated (both ip & key in query string / header / cookie).

If your ip is properly set, simply go to: http://<your host>/_spx/?SPX_KEY=dev

You can also check your PHP log, SPX outputs some NOTICE messages.

Ah! It's the IP because I'm running it in docker. I understand now. All is working well. Thanks for indulging me being a bit stupid here. I think I'll make a fork and pull request an update to the installation instructions to make all of this clear for slower people like me 😅.

"Command line prefix" is a recent feature, not documented yet.
Which browser ? I guess the "/_spx/data/metrics" endpoint does not work, can you confirm it with the network pane of the debug console ?

Confirming that /_spx/data/metrics does not work: https://imgur.com/a/810MoBX

The browser is Google Chrome Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Maybe I'm not setting this up correctly? All I did really was make a symbolic link between the WebUI folder and /var/www/html.

EDIT: Thanks for the quick response!

Okay, set-up a simple rewrite rule:

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	DocumentRoot /var/www/html

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

	Options +FollowSymLinks
	
	RewriteEngine On

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule /_spx* /index.php
</VirtualHost>

Based on your last message, my understanding is that SPX should intercept the execution of index.php, and run the website instead, but I am still getting the phpinfo() page (I set index.php to it). It is reporting that the SPX extension is active though: https://imgur.com/a/5DhY7Tl
