# Admin Panel Navigation Fix - December 13, 2025
|
|
|
|
## 🔧 Issue Fixed
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Admin panel live tiles and sidebar navigation were returning 404 errors (nginx not found).
|
|
|
|
**Root Cause:**
|
|
|
|
- Admin HTML files were in the development directory `/media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/admin/`
|
|
- Nginx was configured to proxy ALL `/admin/` requests to the backend server
|
|
- The backend server doesn't serve static HTML files, only API endpoints
|
|
- Web root at `/var/www/skyartshop/admin/` was missing most admin panel files
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## ✅ Solution Applied
|
|
|
|
### 1. Copied All Admin Files to Web Root
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp -r /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/admin/* /var/www/skyartshop/admin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Files Deployed:**
|
|
|
|
- ✅ dashboard.html
|
|
- ✅ products.html
|
|
- ✅ portfolio.html
|
|
- ✅ blog.html
|
|
- ✅ pages.html
|
|
- ✅ homepage.html
|
|
- ✅ settings.html
|
|
- ✅ users.html
|
|
- ✅ menu.html
|
|
- ✅ login.html
|
|
- ✅ css/admin-style.css
|
|
- ✅ js/products.js
|
|
- ✅ js/portfolio.js
|
|
- ✅ js/blog.js
|
|
- ✅ js/pages.js
|
|
- ✅ js/homepage.js
|
|
- ✅ js/settings.js
|
|
- ✅ js/users.js
|
|
|
|
### 2. Updated Nginx Configuration
|
|
|
|
**Before:** All `/admin/` requests were proxied to backend
|
|
|
|
```nginx
|
|
location /admin/ {
|
|
proxy_pass http://skyartshop_backend;
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**After:** Separated static files from API calls
|
|
|
|
```nginx
|
|
# API routes - proxy to backend
|
|
location /api/ {
|
|
proxy_pass http://skyartshop_backend;
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Admin static files - serve directly
|
|
location /admin/ {
|
|
alias /var/www/skyartshop/admin/;
|
|
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
|
|
|
|
# Cache static assets (CSS, JS, images)
|
|
location ~* \.(css|js|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot)$ {
|
|
expires 7d;
|
|
add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# No cache for HTML files
|
|
location ~* \.html$ {
|
|
add_header Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Reloaded Nginx
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo nginx -t # Test configuration
|
|
sudo systemctl reload nginx # Apply changes
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🎯 What's Working Now
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Dashboard Live Tiles (All Clickable)
|
|
|
|
- **Products Tile** → `/admin/products.html` ✅
|
|
- **Portfolio Tile** → `/admin/portfolio.html` ✅
|
|
- **Blog Posts Tile** → `/admin/blog.html` ✅
|
|
- **Custom Pages Tile** → `/admin/pages.html` ✅
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Quick Action Buttons
|
|
|
|
- **Homepage Editor** → `/admin/homepage.html` ✅
|
|
- **Add New Product** → `/admin/products.html?action=create` ✅
|
|
- **Create Blog Post** → `/admin/blog.html?action=create` ✅
|
|
- **Add Portfolio Project** → `/admin/portfolio.html?action=create` ✅
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Sidebar Navigation (All Links)
|
|
|
|
- Dashboard → `/admin/dashboard.html` ✅
|
|
- Homepage Editor → `/admin/homepage.html` ✅
|
|
- Products → `/admin/products.html` ✅
|
|
- Portfolio → `/admin/portfolio.html` ✅
|
|
- Blog → `/admin/blog.html` ✅
|
|
- Pages → `/admin/pages.html` ✅
|
|
- Menu → `/admin/menu.html` ✅
|
|
- Settings → `/admin/settings.html` ✅
|
|
- Users → `/admin/users.html` ✅
|
|
|
|
### ✅ API Integration (Backend Calls)
|
|
|
|
All admin pages can now successfully call backend APIs:
|
|
|
|
- `/api/admin/*` endpoints for CRUD operations
|
|
- `/api/products`, `/api/portfolio/projects`, `/api/blog/posts` for data fetching
|
|
- Authentication via `/api/admin/session`
|

## 📋 Architecture Overview
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
User Request Flow:
|
|
─────────────────
|
|
|
|
1. Admin HTML Pages:
|
|
Browser → Nginx → /var/www/skyartshop/admin/*.html
|
|
(Served as static files)
|
|
|
|
2. CSS/JS Assets:
|
|
Browser → Nginx → /var/www/skyartshop/admin/css/*.css
|
|
Browser → Nginx → /var/www/skyartshop/admin/js/*.js
|
|
(Cached for 7 days)
|
|
|
|
3. API Calls:
|
|
Browser → Nginx → Backend (localhost:5000) → PostgreSQL
|
|
JavaScript fetch() → /api/admin/* → Express.js handlers
|
|
|
|
4. Authentication:
|
|
Session stored in PostgreSQL (connect-pg-simple)
|
|
Validated by backend middleware
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
## 🚀 Deployment Steps (For Future Updates)
|
|
|
|
When you make changes to admin panel files:
|
|
|
|
1. **Edit files in development:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/admin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Deploy to web root:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp -r /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/admin/* /var/www/skyartshop/admin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **No nginx reload needed** (unless config changes)
|
|
|
|
4. **Clear browser cache** or use Ctrl+Shift+R to see changes
|

## ⚡ Performance Optimizations Applied
|
|
|
|
- ✅ **Static file caching:** CSS/JS cached for 7 days
|
|
- ✅ **HTML no-cache:** Admin HTML always fresh (no stale pages)
|
|
- ✅ **Gzip compression:** Enabled via nginx default
|
|
- ✅ **Rate limiting:**
|
|
- Admin pages: 20 requests/second burst
|
|
- API calls: 100 requests/second burst
|
|
- ✅ **Connection keep-alive:** Reduces overhead
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🔒 Security Maintained
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Rate limiting on all admin routes
|
|
- ✅ HTTPS enforced (SSL certificates)
|
|
- ✅ Session-based authentication
|
|
- ✅ CORS headers configured
|
|
- ✅ XSS protection headers
|
|
- ✅ SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
|
|
