A while ago I posted a message asking how. Now I am posting a message saying how so that anyone searching through the archives will find it. I've used some information from the Howtos on the Zope site and adapted it to be RAQ3 specific. There is no need to re-compile Apache on the RAQ3 unless you are a glutten for punishment. First install Zope and get it running on it's default port of 8080. You probably want a start up script for init.d so here is one included at the end of this post. I installed Zope as user "zope" in /home/zope and created a special start script called "startd" for the init.d script to call which is as follows... #! /bin/sh reldir=`dirname $0` PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export PYTHONHOME exec /home/zope/zope/bin/python \ $PYTHONHOME/z2.py \ -D "$@" \ -u zope & This starts Zope as user "zope" when called by root. When Zope is up and running and starts and stops OK we need to get it SSLed through Apache. Make sure that SSL is enabled in the Server/Site management for the domain you are intending to Zopify. Next we need to add the following lines to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at the following point of the file... # Proxy Server directives. Uncomment the following line to # enable the proxy server: #Turn Proxy on ProxyRequests On <Directory proxy:*> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> #Direct proxy to Zope ProxyPass /Zope http://www.yourdomain.org:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /Zope http://www.yourdomain.org:8080/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://www.yourdomain.org:8080/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://www.yourdomain.org:8080/p_ ProxyVia on # To enable the cache as well, edit and uncomment the following lines: We now need to restart Apache to recognize the changes with /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart. Check there are no errors reported. I did not add the Proxy directives to the Virtual Host section becuase this section of the httpd.conf file is overwritten by a bunch of Perl scripts whenever you make any changes to the site. I don't mind having a /Zope directory added to all the sites as it is highly unlikely anyone will need a /Zope directory for anything else. Next, Zope must allow for all the /Zope being added to everything. Go into Zope on port 8080 and create a SiteRoot object called SiteRoot. SiteRoot is now part of the Zope distribution and there is no need to download it all over again. Enter the following information... ID : SiteRoot Tite: The base path for BK Zope with SSL Base : https://www.yourdomain.org Path : /Zope/ You should now find Zope completely unusable on port 8080 but magically wonderful on ports 80 and 443. Notice we set the base to https, not http. This forces any links in Zope to use SSL. If you completely mess up your SiteRoot in Zope and you need to rescue it you will need this magic URL... http://www.yourdomain.org:8080/__no_before_traverse__/SiteRoot/manage_main This got me out of a few jams. Hope someone out there finds all this helpful, Regards, Simon Blandford.
