Maybe http://zopewiki.org/ZopeAndApache/ can help.

Hi,

I have also tried to solve this problem without success. I simply want
Zope to serve the contents of http://myhost.mydomain/zope, while
Apache2 serves all other files via http://myhost.mydomain/.

I can reach the Zope Quick Start page, which in my case is at
http://myhost.mydomain/zope, but when I click on the Zope Management
Interface link on this page I get the error

  The requested URL /manage was not found on this server.

I also get an error in the apache error log:

  [Wed Apr 07 15:33:17 2004] [error] [client <removed>] File does not exist:
/var/www/html/manage_page_style.css, referer: http://myhost.mydomain/zope/

which is probably why the style of the zope pages does not look so
nice.  If I manually go to http://myhost.mydomain/zope/manage, I can
login to zope, but the whole idea with the rewrite rule was that zope
should add /zope/ to the URL of all referenced files, but it does not.
The same problem occurs when I try to logout of zope:

  The requested URL /manage_zmi_logout was not found on this server.

Zope did not add /zope/ to the URL of the logout link. I can logout
manually if I direct the browser to
http://myhost.mydomain/zope/manage_zmi_logout.

I am using Linux Mandrake 9.2/cooker, zope-2.7.0, apache-2.0.49.  I have
created a VHM in Zope and these are my rewrite rules for apache2:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName myhost.mydomain
  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite_log"
    RewriteLogLevel 2
    RewriteRule ^/zope$ \

http://localhost:9080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/VirtualHostRoot
/_vh_zope [L,P]
    RewriteRule ^/zope(.*) \

http://localhost:9080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/VirtualHostRoot
/_vh_zope/$1 [L,P]
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) - [L]
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
    ProxyVia On
    # prevent the webserver from beeing used as proxy
    <LocationMatch "^[^/]">
      Deny from all
    </LocationMatch>
  </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

Any help is appreciated!

I got hit with the same snag when I first dove into this as well.

Don't use the Proxy stuff directly, use it via mod_rewrite. I forget
where I finally found that info.

This is from my configs:

RewriteEngine on

# local requests for images redirect to real web server
RewriteRule ^/web_resources(.*) http://<removed>/web_resources$1 [L,R]
RewriteRule ^/web_images/style.css http://homer:8080/newsite/style.css
[L,P]
RewriteRule ^/web_images(.*) http://<removed>/web_images$1 [L,R]
RewriteRule ^/z_images(.*) http://<removed>/z_images$1 [L,R]

# insider (zope content)
RewriteRule ^/insider(.*)
http://<removed>/VirtualHostBase/http/<removed>:80/sections/VirtualHostR
oot/insider$1 [L,P]

Good luck!

Hi all,

I'm trying to persuade our powers-that-be that a switch-over to using
Zope for our website would be "a good idea".  For this, the best way for

me to achieve things is using Zope and the existing Apache stuff
together.  I've been following the guide at
http://zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver for using Apache's Inverse
Proxy ability to reach our Zope installation.  However, I am having the
problem that i have to log in twice to the management interface and then

when i come to log out of it, i get the following error from Apache:

The requested URL /manage_zmi_logout was not found on this server.

I have the following in httpd.conf [changed the names to protect the
server]:

ProxyPass /Zope http://a.b.com:81/
ProxyPassReverse /Zope http://a.b.com:81/
ProxyPass /misc_ http://a.b.com:81/misc_
ProxyPass /p_ http://a.b.com:81/p_

I have also added the SiteRoot object in the management root.

Does anybody have any idea what i might have done wrong?  Is it because
we are using Apache 2 [2.0.48]?

Many thanks
Ade
