[Zope] VHM and hard-wired URLs generated by stock Zope code

[Chris Keyes]

Hmm, I'm pretty sure that the ZMI works ok with the right config, we 
have many servers running in various places with the whole zope instance 
running through virtual hosting. In many cases the ports that zope runs 
on are blocked from outside. I too get the <img SRC="/p_/pl" ALT="+" 
BORDER=0> however this works fine through the rewrite rules we have, so 
I guess its a problem with you only giving access to certain parts of 
zope :-( We are rewriting the whole of say myzope.mydomain.com to 
somewhere like localhost:8080/stuff/users/myzope

This is my proxy pass from apache.conf, works with a Virtual Host 
Monster in the root :-)


<VirtualHost localzope>

   ServerName      myserver.mydomain.com
   ServerAdmin     me@mydomain.com
   RewriteEngine    On
   RewriteRule      ^/error/(.*)$ /error/$1 [L]
   RewriteRule      ^(.*)$ 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/myserver.mydomain.com:80/VirtualHostRoot$1 
[P]
   ProxyPassReverse / 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/myserver.mydomain.com:80/VirtualHostRoot/
   ErrorDocument    502 /error/error502.html
   CustomLog        /mylogdir/access_log combined
   ErrorLog         /mylogdir/error_log

</VirtualHost>


There is some extra stuff so apache displays an error if zope is not 
running, but the two rewrite lines are there

Hope thats of some use :-)
