floodlight Controller re-write WebUI in PHP
We all know that the webui of floodlight itself is localhost/ui/index.html
1. I tried to use my Linux environment to rack another server to provide PHP environment. You can refer to one of my other articles. about how to structure lamp.
2.Proxy we set up a server on the host, and the backend command proxy is responsible for forwarding the front-end Web interface operation request to floodlight.
Because Ajax cannot cross-domain requests, a server-side proxy is established. Command Proxy is a back-end script that we write in PHP that is used to forward requests for web interface or to execute commands sent by web interface.
3. Then put the entire PHP write WebUI in var/www/html. is floodlight that resource inside that web;
4. Then solve the communication problem between Floodlight and WebUI
Change the path inside the floodlight:
