[Zope] base instead of SiteAccess
I am using ProxyPass configuration with Apache and SiteAccess. My web-site is located on ISP's server in my user directory. Because I can't stay on line for too long during a day(I have a phone on the same line) I tend to do all editing off line and then at night upload the lot. The subdirectory of my web site is 'okstudio'. Because I am using SiteAccess(with 'base' in the folder 'okstudio'), none of the relative links worked on my local machine. I like my links nice and short that do not include '/okstudio/'. It looks too long in the address window of my browser. Before each upload to the server I had to change the links. I was trying to use SiteAccess on my home machine but could not get it working. It would not work for http://localhost or http://localhost:8080 ..and so and so. I tried several times without a success. Then I decided to use a different approach. I created a property 'base' in the root folder of my site. The string is: base href="http://localhost:8080/okstudio/". Then I put dtml-var base in my standard_html_header and all the alternative headers I use (JavaScript and stuff). All I have to do now is change the 'base' property to base href="http://www.myserver.com.au/" before each upload and all the links can stay the same. I would not even have to use SiteAccess at all if I had a little redirection method in my root directory. It is all OK but I would like to know if there is a way how to make SiteAccess working on the local machine so I can have almost identical setup locally. Can you help anyone? I am also serving local files located in my original public_html directory from ZOPE going directly to my user directory. The links look like this: http://123.45.678.9/~username . Would that be considered a security risk exposing my user directory like that?

I am using ProxyPass configuration with Apache and SiteAccess.

I was trying to use SiteAccess on my home machine
but could not get it working. It would not work for http://localhost or
http://localhost:8080 ..and so and so.
I'm going to guess at your configuration; please correct me where I miss:
1. Apache with "ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/okstudio "
2. SiteRoot in "/okstudio" with Base == "http://www.okstudio.com" and Path
== "/"
You want to be able to run a copy at home, connect directly to Zope, and
browse the site.
At home, set the Base=="" and add the following Access Rule in your root:
dtml-let path="REQUEST.path"
dtml-unless expr="path and path[-1] == 'okstudio' "
dtml-call expr="path.append('okstudio')"
/dtml-unless
/dtml-let
This way, requests to http://localhost:8080 will get rewritten to
http://localhost:8080/okstudio without affecting URLs (thanks to the
Path=="/" in the SiteRoot).
Cheers,
