Apache to Zope/Plone with ProxyPass - how can I get Apache cgi scripts?
Hi, This is a follow up to an earlier question, which involved trying to access Plone as the front page behind Apache. I got this working thanks to Simon Forster, using ProxyPass and a SiteRoot object. However, I still need to access some cgi scripts from Apache's cgi-bin directory. Is this possible? Here's what I have at the moment: <VirtualHost *> ServerName erebus.ait.ie DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/zope" ProxyPass / http://erebus:8080/zope/erebus_plone/ ProxyPassReverse / http://erebus:8080/zope/erebus_plone/ </VirtualHost> When I try accessing a cgi script in /cgi-bin, I get a not found error (404). I also tried this: ProxyPass /cgi-bin/ ! thinking that it might override the Proxying and just go to /cgi-bin, but I get an error --- Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. --- I have tried using mod-rewrite and the Virtual Host Monster without ProxyPass, which allows me to access Apache's cgi scripts, but I don't get Plone properly. I wonder is it possible to combine ProxyPass and RewriteRules? Thanks in advance, Cormac.

Can you not modify the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives? Something like: ProxyPass /zope/ http://erebus:8080/zope/erebus_plone/ ProxyPassReverse /zope/ http://erebus:8080/zope/erebus_plone/ Then all requests to http://erebus.ait.ie/zope/ get redirected to port 8080, all others are processed by Apache as normal. At least that's my understanding of the docs. Oh. Being a pedant I'd prefer: ProxyPass /zope/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/zope/erebus_plone/ ProxyPassReverse /zope/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/zope/erebus_plone/ But that's just 'cause I'd be able to see that it's looping back to the local machine.
