I made Apache redirect certain URLs to a Zope/Plone site on port 8280 and it works.
(e.g. mysite.com/lef --> mysite.com:8280/lefiss)
Question #1: I'm not sure now what is the need for Plone/Zope's Virtual Host Monster??? Apache seems to take care of proxying/redirection BY ITSELEF!?!?!?
That's right, but...
Question #2: Zope/Plone site displays port 8280 in the client browser..... If Apache tries to *hide* the redirection....why does Zope/Plone reveal the true port and how tell ZOpe/Plone to hide this fact again?
For exactly this you need the VHM, but not with the mapping-tab, but the 2 special URL-part VirtualHostBase and VirtualHostRoot. For example this small example hides the port and redirects the person viewing http://lsdbis:80 into the lsdbis subfolder VirtualHost lsdbis:80> RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://lsdbis:8280/VirtualHostBase/http/lsdbis:80/lsdbis/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P] </VirtualHosst> Andreas -- That secret you've been guarding, isn't.
