Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/812

I am trying to use the path /search on my existing apache as a proxy for Whoogle:

ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /search http://whoogle.example:5000/ ProxyPassReverse /search http://whoogle.example:5000/

Config menu is always shown, Whoogle-logo stretches across the entire breadth of the page, etc. I suppose the config cannot be read in such instance.

Any idea how to get this working? I tried setting WHOOGLE_CONFIG_URL to https://www.example.com/search, but this didn't help.

I think you want to use this variable for a sub path/url, this worked for me.

WHOOGLE_URL_PREFIX | The URL prefix to use for the whoogle instance (i.e. "/whoogle")
