Thanks for the reply, Joel...
You're welcome.
Do I have to use virtual hosts when using Apache/SSL/Zope? It's probably a good idea in the long run, in case they need to run more than one site from this machine, but is it required?
Well, if you're using Apache + Zope, you need *some* kind of solution (URL rewriting, Proxying, or just PCGI). The first two of these use Zope doing the same kind of tricks as it would for a "real" virtual host (rewriting absolute_url, etc.) In addition, w/SSL, you'll need to answer whether you want the link: http://foo/hello to mean the same page as https://foo/hello (https) Often, you won't want the entire site available as https (wasted CPU resources); only certain parts will be rewritten/proxied to https. The setup for this is similar to how one handles a "real" virtual host. hth, -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
