[Zope] Serving multiple Zope domains on Apache?

[Joshua Brauer]

Alexander,

	If you're looking for one admin setup and several different sites you can do this:

Set it up as I mentioned.

BUT use this rewrite rule for the "other (non-admin)" servers:

> >RewriteRule     ^/(.*) /websites/example/Zope.cgi/folder/$1 
> >[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,E=ZOPE_RAW_URI:SCRIPT_URI,t=applic
> >ation/x-httpd-cgi,l]

/folder is a folder in your main ZOPE setup. It has no problems inheriting things from the / level even though you can't see it.

for example

	www.example.com
	www2.example.com <-- admin server
	www.jones.com

The Zope install has two folders one called jones and one called www.

Jones:

> >[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,E=ZOPE_RAW_URI:SCRIPT_URI,t=applic
> >ation/x-httpd-cgi,l]


You can administer all of the site through www2.example.com/manage or www2.example.com/www/manage

The downside is that (at least I can't get it to work) you can't use www.jones.com/manage to manage the site.

PS separate installs aren't entirely against the usefulness of ZOPE in all instances (web hosting for example where you WANT people to have a higher level of control and yet only destroy their own setup.)
