Using
Apache - you can define a virtual server
or
location which uses the ProxyPass directive
to
send requests on to the swiki. See the
Apache
documentations for a full description.

Subject: [pws] Using a swiki that lives inside a secure realmI know this type of question has been asked frequently enough, even since I subscribed to the list, but I'm afraid I can't find anything that handles it in the archives.I'd like to create a swiki that lives completely inside a secure realm (served by Webstar, but that doesn't work any differently that Apache or Apple PWS). In other words, all standard http requests (and security checking) will be served via Webstar, but ComSwiki will in its entirety live inside a realm and serve swiki pages when somebody accesses that realm.There's an open FAQ question that goes something likeHow do I serve a regular static files web site out of the root of my host, but keep the Swikis available "behind"?(ie: http://myhost to serve index.html and other static files, but http://myhost/aSwikiName to serve the Swiki. With the default setup, the first URL offers a list of Swikis on the host and the search option...)over at http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki/19 -- has anybody followed through with that?I'd really appreciate some pointers. I can imagine (possibly) setting things up so that requests for http://myhost/aSwikiName/5 are redirected automatically to http://myhost:8080/aSwikiName/5, but once somebody is there, I don't want them to have to include an ":8080" in every request. In fact, I'd rather they didn't know it existed at all.Could one solution be stacked servers on separate machines? That is, an internal ComSwiki that is only accessible from the referring Webserver machine?I'd really appreciate suggestions.
