Hmmmm, I wonder if that work better than the mod_rewrite I'm using to
connect to Zope...
I currently have this:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.open2space.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.open2space.com:80/www.open2sp
ace.com/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>
So if I'm understanding things right I should be able to do this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName open2space.com
ServerAlias www.open2space.com
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/www.open2space.com
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/www.open2space.com
</VirtualHost>
And this should pass any request to www.open2space.com to my Zope server
which is running on port 8080 (and the open2space stuff is in the
"www.open2space.com" folder under Zope. Is this correct? If so, that IS
much easier to understand than the stuff I have now...
Hmmm... but now that I think of it, I don't think this will work. The
rewrite rule passes in information to Zope so that it can mangle the URLs in
source to use the correct server name (via Zope's Virtual Host Monster),
such as the src property of an image tag.... k, so I guess I have to stick
with the rewrite method...

I use it all the time and it works pretty much as expected. Very handy
for stuff like CherryPY and way easier than mod_rewrite (which would do
it too).
