I tried posting a similar post before on egroups.com, but it didn't seem to work, as I can't find my post anywhere. I have been trying endlessly to use Zope with virtual domains with no luck. I started out with the VirtualHostFolder product by Adam Feuer and tried to install it with version 2.2.x of zope, but there is a patch script for zope that is made for version 2.0.x, and it didn't seem to work. I cantacted Adam about the product, and he said that Michel Pelletier was working on a new similar product, and he was waiting for the release of that product. Does anyone have any info on this project? Next, I tried using the apache+zope+ssl howto that was recently put out, and that didn't work (I think because of a screw up in my IP alias settings), so I scraped that install. Most recently, I spent half a day trying to use the ProxyPass method, but for some reason, I can't seem to get it to work correctly. I believe I have all the settings correct (I followed the howto precisely, with the exception that I took the / off the end of the URL in SiteRoot because I was getting a bunch of pages with two /s in the middle. Either way, it didn't work with the / at the end either. I can load the page, but it comes up unusably slow. I am using a squishdot site to test. It is located at http://www.capitaltips.com. If I access zope directly (not using SiteRoot), performance is fine. As soon as I add siteroot, and try to contact by the VirtualHost, it turns unusable (even the admin screens for that directory. I have a feeling that it is apache, which I am running on a different server, but I have no idea what the problem is. Anyways, here is my configuration in case anyone cares: Zope box: Celeron 366 with 128MB RAM Mandrake 6.1 - no apache installed IP 204.203.69.136 Port 8080 Zope: Installed from SRC - newest version capitaltips test site: /testdot Apache box: Pentium 133 with 96MB RAM Mandrake 6.1 - Apache 1.3.9 installed from RPM IP 204.203.69.132 IP alias 204.203.69.133-135 vhost0.conf on Apache box: (defualt httpd.conf unless changed by linuxconf) <VirtualHost 204.203.69.134> ServerName www.capitaltips.com ServerAdmin admin@capitaltips.com ProxyPass / http://204.203.69.136:8080/testdot/ ProxyPassReverse / http://204.203.69.136:8080/testdot/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://204.203.69.136:8080/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://204.203.69.136:8080/p_ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 204.203.69.133> ServerName www.pfgllc.com ServerAdmin admin@pfgllc.com ProxyPass / http://204.203.69.136:8080/pfgllc/ ProxyPassReverse / http://204.203.69.136:8080/pfgllc/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://204.203.69.136:8080/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://204.203.69.136:8080/p_ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 204.203.69.135> ServerName www.financeXpert.com ServerAdmin admin@financeXpert.com ProxyPass / http://204.203.69.136:8080/financexpert/ ProxyPassReverse / http://204.203.69.136:8080/financexpert/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://204.203.69.136:8080/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://204.203.69.136:8080/p_ </VirtualHost> If anyone can give me a clue as to what the problem is, I would greatly appreciate it. I have also been having one little problem with IP aliases. I was unable to do assign IP aliases with linuxconf, so I tried to use netcnf, which allows me to make the aliases, however I check start at boot, but they don't start at boot (and yes, I have saved the configuration). I have to manually go in and ifup eth0:0, eth0:1, etc. One more issue: I have heard all this talk about whether zope should be installed with root. What I have been doing is installing with root and then 'chown -R nobody:nobody' the zope root directory. Is there any problem with this? I also typically do this to the /home/httpd directory. Is this okay to do? Is there any problem with assigning nobody a password that way I don't have to log into root and 'su nobody' all the time? It is getting time for me to get up, and I haven't gone to bed yet! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. - Marcus
