[Zope] question about rewriting and vhm

[Dylan Reinhardt]

First, there are some old docs out there telling you to connect through
cgi, but you probably shouldn't.  

Instead, assuming Zope is running on port 8080, use:

RewriteRule ^/z/(.*)
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/[...]/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_z/$1

Where [...] is what you already had between VirtualHostBase and
VirtualHostRoot

For details on why this works, read about "inside out" hosting here:

HTH,

Dylan
