Hi Karl. You need VirtualHostMonster. SiteRoot is all but extinct due to the difficulties it caused. Read this thread: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2004-February/147382.html or this and look at the Rewrite Rules section: http://zope.org/Members/regebro/Zope_and_Apache Troy -- And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 40.5 Horak, Karl wrote:
I am running Zope behind a FreeBSD/Apache firewall. Seems like everytime I turn around, Zope is tripping over the address of the Zope server (http://10.0.0.2:8080/ORDweb/...) instead of using the firewall (https://hsrdte.sandia.com/Zope/ORDweb/...). Anything that makes use of absolute_URL seems prone to this problem.
I've read dozens and dozens of items on SiteRoot but all it does for me is kill access to the folder, usually for both ordinary use and the ZMI. Even using _SUPPRESS_SITEROOT is very iffy about rescuing the situation. Typically, I just delete my test folders and start over.
Recently, I thought that an access rule would allow me to programmatically replace the http://10.0.0.2:8080/ with https://hsrdte.sandia.com/Zope/ when handling requests. For starters, from the Zope book I tried the simple example (at http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ZopeServices.stx ). So far it has failed and, as a pleasent side-effect, kills the ZMI. _SUPPRESS_ACCESSRULE at least lets me in so I can turn off the access rule. Still, I haven't a clue as to why it won't work--the example is too simple.
Anyway, back to the question at hand: how does one get Zope to stop giving me errors like "Unable to locate object http://10.0.0.2:8080/ORDweb/..."? I just need it to see the external address of "https://hsrdte.sandia.com/Zope/ORDweb/..." instead. Exactly what is the magic that turns http://10.0.0.2:8080 into https://hsrdte.sandia.com/Zope? Specific assistance from anyone with a suggestion would be appreciated.
Karl
