Hi,

I've just deployed Plone 2.5 over an existing Plone 2.0 setup. It's the usual Apache-Squid-Pound stack followed by 3 zope instances & a zeo.

Authentication worked fine on the old site, however on the new one, it doesn't. The login process goes fine and Plone says the user has been logged in. However when you navigate to another page, it loses the details. Auth when connecting directly to Plone works fine, so I assume there's something in the stack that's a bit off.

As mentioned earlier, the deployment took the place of an old server using a Data.fs that I migrated. This is where the complication may be. The old plone site is still on the Data.fs for fallback purposes and there's a new Plone site which Apache directs to.

The old url was www.durban.gov.za/eThekwini (eThekwini being the id of the old plone site) and the new URL is www.durban.gov.za/durban. I needed to ensure that any bookmarked URL redirected eThekwini to Durban so I added a rewrite rule in Apache, I've quoted my .conf settings below, the first rewrites any URL with the eThekwini path to durban, the 2nd directs to VirtualHostMonster.

RewriteEngine On
# production zope instance
RewriteRule ^/eThekwini(.*) /durban$1

RewriteRule ^/durban(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8000/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/durban/$1 [L,P]

Can anybody see anything wrong there, it's pretty much exactly what was there before except for the RewriteRule.

Thanks for any help,
Shayan
