What's the "best" way to set up a few virtual hosts using only ZServer? For example, to make www.mysite.com/vhosts/foo and www.mysite.com/vhosts/bar appear as www.foo.com and www.bar.com respectively. Do I need a SiteRite product or can this work with just a VirtualHostMonster?
Neither SiteRoots nor VirtualHostMonsters can do the job by themselves. They both need somebody doing the first half of the virtual host mapping -- sending requests for www.foo.com to /vhosts/foo. Apache can do this, but if you want a bare ZServer, you'll need to use an Access Rule. Setting the following Script as root Access Rule should do it, in conjunction with a VHM: ## Script (Python) "vhost_access" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath= ##parameters=self, req, resp ##title=Virtual Host Access Rule ## host = req['HTTP_HOST'] stack = req['TraversalRequestNameStack'] # Put path elements on the stack in reverse order. if host == 'www.foo.com': stack.extend(['VirtualHostRoot', 'foo', 'vhosts']) elif host == 'www.bar.com': stack.extend(['VirtualHostRoot', 'bar', 'vhosts']) Cheers, Evan @ digicool & 4-am
