running apache on win xp pro, all the websites run ok with virtual host directives, plone running via virtual host-proxy pass reverse, i have a 'localhost 127.0.0.1' entry in my hosts file now trying to install phpbb3 and then eventually access it from a joomla website, but first things first, install phpbb3. per install directions i have done: -unzip phpbb3.zip into ...../apache/htdocs/phpbb3/ -address browser to localhost/phpbb3 to start the install apache not recognizing anything, what comes up is my plone server, it runs under a 'proxy pass reverse', but it comes up with 404? so to test, tried to load a simple webpage with localhost/index.html and localhost/htdocs/index.htm and 127.0.0.1/index.htm, etc and nothing comes up, either i get my plone website or a 404 so i'm lost here with the architecture and how get apache to recognize a local host for something other than plone? do i need another virtual host for the phpbb3 but somehow not tied to a domain name??? hope this is understandable, what my problem is bob
well happy to say i found the solution, basically i needed an additional/new virtual host setup. by setup i mean i had virtual hosts for my domains, under port 80 (NameVirtualHost *:80) so basically external. for internal, ie, localhost or 127.0.0.1 i needed, NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1, and then a virtual host directive for each application pointing to that apps directory. many thanks to, apptools.com, http://apptools.com/phptools/virtualhost.php, a great explanation and how to for the localhost virtual directory setup.
