[e-smith-devinfo] VirtualHosts configuration question

[Des Dougan]

I've been looking at Plone as a Content Management System on my test box 
(5.6). By default, it is set to use port 8080 (with Zope as its 
application server). From the documentation, it is common to use Apache 
in front of Zope, using ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives to 
redirect 8080 to use Apache and its standard port.

I found a VirtualHosts configuration on the Plone web site which seems 
to be the recommended way of using ProxyPass within Plone, and set it up 
as a custom template fragment (however, on my test box, I have only the 
default domain). However, to integrate with SME, it obviously needs some 
tweaking, as the $virtualHost variable is not being resolved when the 
template is expanded. I haven't included the entire fragment here, but 
the ProxyPass directives are as follows:

ProxyPass / 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/($virtualHost):80/($virtualHost)/VirtualHostRoot/
ProxyPassReverse / 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/($virtualHost):80/($virtualHost)/VirtualHostRoot/

I admit I am floundering here - I can see looking at the template 
fragments that 80VirtualHosts has the logic that sets this up, and I 
suspect the fragment I created is only a part of the way to a solution, 
so I'd appreciate any guidance from the community.

Thanks,
