I think adding a numbered virtual host directive containing a rewrite condition and rewrite rule will work. Taking your example and assuming your Zope is running on port 8080 of a machine name zope.example.com, try: <VirtualHost 192.168.1.1> RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^([^\.]+)\.test\.example\.com$ RewriteRule (.*) http://zope.example.com:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%1.test.example.com:80/si… [P] </VirtualHost> The rewrite condition regex lets you capture the pseudo machine name, e.g. mark from mark.test.example.com in your example. The rewrite rule condition embeds the pseudo machine name in both the virtual host base the VHM uses to generate URLs and prefixes it in the path below the virtual host root and above your site directory. This rewrite should work with any pseudo machine name without the need to modify httpd.conf or restart Apache when a new pseudo machine is "created". Any incoming request for a machine which doesn't have a folder in Zope's /site folder should lead to a 404 - Not Found response from Apache.

Apache/Zope mass name based virtual hosting
by Mark Langkau 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Hi, Can someone help with an Apache rewrite rule for using VirtualHostMonster for mass virtual name based hosting? My corporate intranet needs to have several development and testing areas. What I'd like to do is have virtual hosts set up for each developer to experiment with - on the fly. The goal is not to change httpd.conf or restart Apache when a new vhost is set up. Apache will not know specific host names in advance. This will allow our developers to quickly put together proof-of-concept sites and send easy to remember URLs to other internal testers without mucking around with Apache configs or restarts. I have seen examples of using VHM to map domains to folders inside Zope, but I can't seem to understand how to send the correct info from Apache to Zope. I'd like to use wildcards in Apache so that as long as a folder exists in the right place (and with the right name) in Zope, the user will get to the right area. Example: Assume our domain is example.com. Internal DNS will be set to send *.test.example.com to 192.168.1.1 so all hosts matching that pattern go to real host "test.example.com." I would like "mark.test.example.com" to map to "/site/mark" and "beta.test.example.com" map to "/site/beta" inside Zope. I'll post a "How-To" when I get this working if one doesn't exist already. Thanks! Mark

FTP hangage
by Chris Ryland 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

I'm running Zope 2.3.3 under Python 1.5.2 on a RH Linux 6.2 box, and all has been well up to this point. I did some heavy work several months ago, with full FTP access working from Emacs, and then stopped until just now. Now, I can log in with Emacs and with an FTP client (all from W2K), but listing the top-level folder hangs forever. I restarted Zope with no success. Any ideas on where to start looking? Any advice greatly appreciated. -- Cheers! Chris Ryland Em Software, Inc. www.emsoftware.com

RE: [Zope] Multiple virtual domains
by Huston, Virgil H. 08 Nov '01

I did do this search, but many of the results had nothing to do with the question I had and the rest were extremely confusing to me (i am a newbie). I tried to find info on Virtual Host Monster (which sounds like something that would do it, but only got three results ). I also got a link to the Zope Administrators Guide, which doesn't have much on it. I'll keep looking, just thought someone would know where to find this info.

ZClass base class changes
by Matt Behrens 08 Nov '01

Is anyone changing base classes of ZClasses in 2.4? How? It appears that 'copybases' leaves you with a ZClass with no base class except ZObject on 2.4.2. -- Matt Behrens <matt.behrens(a)kohler.com> System Analyst, Baker Furniture

Multiple virtual domains
by Huston, Virgil H. 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

I cannot seem to find any clear answers to this question. I have a server with multiple name based domains. Can I run a few of these domains as Zope sites with one zope installation or do I have to install it for each domain? Any pointers to help files would be appreciated. Thanks. Virgil Huston
