[Zope] Apache rewrite question

[AM]

In this rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mov.aim23.com:9090/VirtualHostBase/http/www.  
 nixonmcinnes.co.uk:80/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]
this is what it means:

^/(.*) : this means match all urls with the servername 
www.nixonmcinnes.co.uk
        ie any url of the form www.nixonmcinnes.co.uk\....

http://mov.aim23.com:9090 : this is the url ( with port ) which gives 
you direct                              access to the zope part of the 
site. ( default is                            port 8080 but you are 
running at 9090 )

VirtualHostBase :  this means apache should talk to the VHM in the zope 
instance.
                  ( one is all you need )

http : the accessor which tells VHM what protocol apache is speaking ( 
this is only       my take from the code - i dont know what else VHM can 
speak ) it is part of       the url and should be considered as is.


www.nixonmcinnes.co.uk:80 : this is what the VHM should rewrite as the 
base url
                           so that port 8080 or in your case 9090 is not 
directly                            exposed


VirtualHostRoot : this is the folder in Zope you want to publish. so for 
example if                  you are publishing a folder called my_site ( 
for eg
                 http://your_domain:9090/my_site ) then this should be 
my_site. It
                 can be a subfolder too ie if your main site is in the 
folder                  /my_site/main_site ( in the zope instance this 
should be                  my_site/main_site where your                  
folder organization in your zope instance is such:
Root Folder
   /my_site
       /main_site

The easiest way to first check if your VHM works is to put this in the url:

http://mov.aim23.com:9090/VirtualHostBase/http/www.nixonmcinnes.co.uk:80/my_site_folder_in_zope/ 


if you see your site's main page, your VHM works perfectly and the 
virtual host + rewrite in apache should work.
