Virtual Host Monster and <BASE ..>
I am using the Virtual Host monster and apache rewrite rules to handle virtual hosts. I am using Zope 2.3.0 on FreeBSD and Apache1.3. This works very well for all folders/pages other than the virtual root. And it works fine for the virtual root if I explicitly specify the index_html page. i.e. http://www.domain.com/index_html. However for the very root of the site, if I call it by the domain only i.e. http://www.domain.com it does not work at all. The resultant HTML contains a <BASE> tag <base href="http://www.domain.com/sitefolder/" /> which seems to screw everything up. All the urls on this home page start with http://www.domain.com/sitefolder/ instead of http://www.domain.com/ as if the host monster is not working at all. I then tried to add a new rewrite directive to apache to send all requests for http://www.domain.com/ to http://www.domain.com/index_html in a hope to avoid this problem, but that seems to have no effect (perhaps I am not doing it correctly) Any help would be appreciated Thanks Tom Cameron
You might have to make a virtual root for your real root as in make a url like http://www.domain.com/zope could be referenced to your root folder so that when you type www.domain.com/zope you end up in your root folder... Hope this helps,, My 2 cents, Patrick. On Thu, 26 Apr 2001, Tom Cameron wrote:

Hi Tom, I have been experiencing similar problems on my personal server (like HEAD requests for / returning a Not Found error), but haven't had time to chase this up yet. Could you file a bug report in the Zope Collector (preferably with an easily reproduceable example)? You'll find it at: http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
Maftijn, Actually I decided to email Evan directly about the product and this was his response....

This works very well for all folders/pages other than the virtual root.
This is a bug in Zope 2.3.0's VirtualHostMonster, since fixed. I recommend upgrading to the most recent stable version of Zope.
Cheers,
Evan @ digicool
I am going to try this upgrade over the weekend (hence my earlier message about "diff" files) and see how it goes. I will keep you informed. If there is no improvement and no other suggestions I will file the report.
