I guess what I'm really looking for is a good explanation for virtual host root, as well some insight in how zope generates urls.
All you need is to create a VHM instance. It doesn't actually matter what you call it.
Let's say domain_name.com is hosted from here in the Zope hierarchy:
/sites/domain_name
Put this in domain_name's virtual host block in Apache (one line):
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.domain_name.com:80/sites/doma... [L,P]
Reload Apache and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the response, but I have more specific problems than simply getting it working. The main problem I seem to have at the moment is that when I do the above, so that I have the Virtual Host Root set up the way I want it, then restrictedTraverse stops working. I use it in many places, and when I have the VHR set, it seems like it works from the root of the zope instance itself, so if I am traversing ("/HTML/somePage") it will give me a KeyError if I don't have this in the root of my zope instance. What I assume is happening is that when I use restrictedTraverse on a string that came from an absolute_url, then the url is truncated when I'm using a VHM, and I get "/HTML/somePage" instead of "/folder/xyz/HTML/somePage". Is there some way I can adapt restrictedTraverse to root it in a certain directory? Or will I need to prefix all my absolute_urls with the path to the parent folder. Or is there a function like absolute_url that will disregard the VHR? I know that was long, so thanks for reading. Thanks, Alec Munro
