Hello, I am using the Plone CMS with Zope for my website using port 80, but have multiple PHP scripts, large files, and HTML pages that I need served through apache on port 80. To achieve this, I have configured Plone to run on port 8080 and apache on port 80. Plone is served through apache via mod_proxy with success and "appears" on port 80. However since all requests to port 80 now go to the plone instance, and I can't use my php, files, etc. that are in the apache directory. What I am trying to do is somehow bypass the proxy function for a specific URL or subdomain so I can access the apache www directory and all of it's files. This is the configuration I put in httpd.conf to make my Plone instance run behind apache: <VirtualHost *> ServerName biocookies.com ServerAlias www.biocookies.com ServerAdmin nickolas35@gmail.com ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/biocookies.com:80/Plone/VirtualHostRoot/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/biocookies.com:80/Plone/VirtualHostRoot/ </VirtualHost> I used a Zope function called VirtualHostMonster which you may not be familiar with, but probably doesn't matter in this situation. If it helps here is the tutorial I used: http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/plone-with-apache Simply put, I need an exception to the proxy config that allows apache requests without changing the port. If anyone can offer insight, I would greatly appreciate it. - Nick
your probably running two different instances of apache and one may or may not be picking up your configuration
I'm running one instance, and have actually just achieved the desired effect partially by creating a subdomain (fs.biocookies.com) and directing it to the server's IP. It loads the index page of my apache directory. If I use just biocookies.com it loads my plone site. However, If I try to load a subdirectory of my apache folder (e.g. fs.biocookies.com/chat2) it takes me back to plone and gives me a 404. I guess now I'm trying to find out how to make directories work with this "subdomain" method.
It sounds like you need to create a cname entry in your domain settings and point the subdomain to an actual page then from that page you can use a php redirect to point to wherever you want.
My subdomain isn't working too well... It stopped working and I could only access my apache index again when I created another subdomain with the same settings. At this moment I can only access the index of my apache server via img.biocookies.com, no directories or anything else. I was thinking I could listen on multiple ports and use mod_proxy to redirect the requests from a certain domain to that port (but it still has to be port 80 on the user end). Maybe there is a rewriterules method I can use? Or possibly virtual hosting? I'm stumped... P.S. I can serve plone through apache using this method as well: RewriteRule ^($|/.*) \ http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/\ http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/Plone/VirtualHostRoot$1 [L,P]
Problem resolved: RewriteRule ^/bcfs/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/bcfs - [L] RewriteRule ^($|/.*) \ http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/\ http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/Plone/VirtualHostRoot$1 [L,P] Thanks for the help, though, icyshout
