RE: [Zope] Yay! My first paying Zope job! (HELP!)
Thanks for the reply, Joel... Do I have to use virtual hosts when using Apache/SSL/Zope? It's probably a good idea in the long run, in case they need to run more than one site from this machine, but is it required? Thanks, Eric.
Get the SSL set up on Apache w/o any special Zope setup first. Depending on your setup, SSL can be a snap (w/RPM install), or it can mean recompiling half of the world.

walks through install SSL + install of VirtualHostMonster.

is a simple fix to make it easier to use https for absolute_urls.
Good luck.

You're welcome.

Well, if you're using Apache + Zope, you need *some* kind of solution (URL rewriting, Proxying, or just PCGI). The first two of these use Zope doing the same kind of tricks as it would for a "real" virtual host (rewriting absolute_url, etc.) In addition, w/SSL, you'll need to answer whether you want the link: http://foo/hello to mean the same page as https://foo/hello (https) Often, you won't want the entire site available as https (wasted CPU resources); only certain parts will be rewritten/proxied to https. The setup for this is similar to how one handles a "real" virtual host. hth, -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
