I got it working! Thanks for the prompt replies. I have to say that while the documentation for Zope can be -er - challenging, the quick response from the community is great to see. The problem was not having the proxy modules loaded. It would appear that Apache 2 has a more elaborate scheme for proxy modules, and the tutorial at www.zope.org/Members/ike/Apache2_freeBSD also helped, by alerting me to the proxy module loading order. This is what I added to the bottom of the LoadModule sequence: LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so Eventually, my virtual host set up looked like this: NameVirtualHost 10.1.3.225 <VirtualHost 10.1.3.225> ServerName www.dantest.com ServerAlias dantest.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html RewriteEngine On RewriteLog /dan/rwLog2.txt #RewriteLogLevel 9 #RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^/(.*) RewriteRule /Zope/(.*) http://10.1.3.225:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80/dantest/$1 [L,P] </VirtualHost> The road ahead is clear....
