Many people (such as myself) use Apache for a cheap management/performance win serving large utterly static content like images, for battle-tested SSL, and for the ability to run other back-end servers or CGI in parallel. VirtualHostMonster is a newish SiteAccess component that makes virtual hosting easy for the most common cases, where Apache or some other thin back-end is handling the incoming rewriting, and the rewriting consists of host/port renaming and path insertion (http://www.myhost.com/ => http://localhost:8080/myhost). In this case, all you need is one VirtualHostMonster and a slight, easy change to your rewrite/proxy directives.

I agree. It's very easy to use with Apache, and it doesn't mess up /manage access through the primary domain. Woohoo! ___ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.

I was thinking more along a fix at the Apache level... but it's not really very important, it was easy to hack PATH_INFO out of LoginManager and I've been planning to take it out of my own application anyway. > > 2.

Can this be fixed somehow? The Zope virtual hosting machinery doesn't adjust CGI variable. Applications should use URL0 or URLPATH0 instead of PATH_INFO. > 2.

I have this same problem. If the documentation in the VHM is correct, it's a bug. I found that adding a VHM to the /MySite folder (in addition to the root) "fixes" absolute_url(). I'm using FastCGI, but I imagine it'll work the same with ProxyPass. Perhaps I should take the time to report it in the Collector...unless you get to it first. ___ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.
