ANN: SiteAccess v0.1.0 (virtual hosting works!)
A new version of SiteAccess is up at http://zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess, and I've successfully used it for Virtual Hosting. See the info page at the site for an example. I'm not going to submit a news item until I've tested it some more, and hopefully gotten some feedback. Evan

What is the status of work on virtual hosting in Zope community? I tested Andreas patch (http://www.mtg.co.at/projects/subhosting) and found it a little poor; I tested VirtulFolder patch - it damaged my installation, so I have to reinstall. I'll test SiteAccess. Are there other projects? (I think I'll attack the problem a bit later if I coudn't find adequate solution).

Virtual hosting continues to work (mostly). See for example: www.fcfumc.org www.fortmac.org www.mountainwest.org Each is a folder in a single Zope instance. The problem is with directories being repeatedly put in the path. so you get www.mountainwest.org/MountainWest/MountainWest/MountainWest this *generally* doesn't affect much, but it does mess up Zcatalog as it catalogs objects several times. SiteAccess will (as I understand it) solve this problem. The above sites use Apache/PCGI to do the virtual hosting. At 7:58 AM +0000 10/20/99, Oleg Broytmann wrote:

Bruce Perens posted the following to the Squishdot list recently:
VirtualHostFolder, unfortunately, is broken in a few ways. First, the value of "URL" in the Zope environment is not corrected as it would be if you were using ZOPE_DROP_FOLDERS. I tried to hack ZOPE_DROP_FOLDERS to fix that. Then, after discussing this with Adam Feuer (author of VirtualHostFolder), I ended up using a more elegant and efficient patch from Evan Simpson that does the same job, but does its work in BaseRequest.py . Adam will include this code in the next version of VirtualHostFolder.
The next thing I need to do is have VirtualHostFolder also do re-direction, so that references to the folder itself can be redirected to one of the objects it contains. Currently I just hacked a redirect into the index_html method, but I want to catch _all_ methods.
