I had the same problem with the VHM. If you are using apache2 (which I think you are) try starting from the beginning with my instructions rather than trying to debug what you have:

In your instructions, the LocationMatch directive is unnecessary unless you also have forward proxies turned on via the ProxyRequests directive.

Perhaps post an alternative configuration that one might be able to test?


James, you didn't describe your problem. Did you try the example in the plone documentation you linked to on your page? If so, what precisely was the problem? I see a few errors in that documentation but nothing terrible egregious.

Note that except for some unnecessary directives and an unusual redirect structure, your current configuration doesn't appear *wrong*. But then, neither did the configuration snippet that started this thread (in that case, the problem is probably elsewhere in the configuration).



I'm also not sure why you have a redirect to a subfolder url before the rewrite line. This seems unnecessary.

This is explained in the fine print at the URL above.


Yes, I read the fine print. I'm still not sure why the redirect. You can achieve roughly the same objective by just adding additional RewriteRules to pass selected requests straight to the Apache filesystem. The only advantage with your method may be that you don't have to add these extra RewriteRules -- which hardly seems onerous.

Again, this configuration is unusual but not necessarily *wrong*. If you prefer to keep the redirect, I suggest making it a 301 redirect rather than the default 302 redirect:

RedirectMatch  301  ^/$  /Home

Among other attributes, this helps your Google rank by transferring any link weight from anyone linking to your "root" page to your real root page.
