Having trouble remembering how to get into Flow? How about make /Flow the URL?
Since the Flow environment uses NGINX to front-end the various components that make up Flow, there is a very sophisticated set of rewrites and proxy_pass directives in the NGINX configuration. All you have to do is add another 'location' fragment to the vhost-flow.conf file that will push /Flow over to /Thingworx/Composer/apps/flow:
location /Flow {
rewrite ^/Flow$ $proxy_scheme://$server_host/Thingworx/Composer/apps/flow permanent;
}
On Linux, the file should be at
/etc/nginx/conf.d/vhost-flow.conf
On Windows, the file should be at
c:\Program Files\nginx-[version]\conf\conf.d\vhost-flow.conf
Test the updated config file with (nginx may not exist in your normal path):
nginx -t
Restart the NGINX service:
Linux (one of these will work depending upon your Linux version):
systemctl restart nginx
service nginx restart
Windows:
Net stop ThingWorxOrchestrationNginx
Net start ThingWorxOrchestrationNginx
-or- use the Services app to restart the service
From this point forward https://yourserver/Flow will take you to ThingWorx Flow's home page.
