Hello, I try to setup a Apache and Zope configuration using RewriteRules. The Zope Server is bound to the IP 127.0.0.1. I've used these expressions inside a VirtualHost block of http.conf. As a first step they should redirect all requests to the VirtualHost to the Zope server: RewriteEngine On RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite.log" RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/$1 [L,P] The client web-browser says: 403 Forbidden Forbidden You don't have permission to access /manage on this server. Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.47 OpenSSL/0.9.6g PHP/4.3.2 Server at centershock.net Port 80 When accessing it with http://centershock.net:8080/manage it works perfect. What's wrong? Thanks, Florian This is a output of the rewrite.log 217.86.12.38 - - [14/Oct/2003:15:43:18 +0200] [centershock.net/sid#811e570] [rid#823aa58/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /manage 217.86.12.38 - - [14/Oct/2003:15:43:18 +0200] [centershock.net/sid#811e570] [rid#823aa58/initial] (2) rewrite /manage -> http://localhost:8080/manage 217.86.12.38 - - [14/Oct/2003:15:43:18 +0200] [centershock.net/sid#811e570] [rid#823aa58/initial] (2) forcing proxy-throughput with http:// localhost:8080/manage This is a part of netstat -l: Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:http-alt *:* LISTEN Zope is listening.
