[users@httpd] URL Rewriting Question
I have a domain (call it test.com for the purpose of this question - it is not
the real domain) parked with a domain name registrar.
They provide free domain name forwarding.
I have a server behind our firewall running apache 2.0 and zope/plone with a
plone site (call it plone-site for this question). The server with plone-site
and apache running behind our firewall has an internal address of
192.168.20.130. Zope listens on port 8080, apache
listens on port 8081.
The domain registrar forwards test.com to our firewall, which is
58.45.32.9:8081 (again, this is not the actual IP address - I just made
this one up for this question).
Our firewall forwards the request on port 8081 to the apache server
listening on port 8081.
The apache server forwards the request to the zope/plone server on port 8080
(same physical machine).
When I type www.test.com in a browser address bar, I get the plone-site as
expected. However, the address bar displays 58.45.32.9:8081/plone-site and
not www.test.com. I had hoped that with url rewriting and apache I could get
www.test.com in the address bar.
My rewrite rule is:
# rewrite any other access to the zope server using a proxy [P] and add the
VMH magic keywords
# use %{SERVER_NAME} instead of test.com to avoid busting the ServerAlias
# %{HTTP_HOST} is bad because it may contain the port
RewriteRule ^/(.*) \
http://192.168.20.130:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:8081/plone-site/VirtualHostRoot/$1
[L,P]
which I took from an article describing a similar setup
(http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/plone-apache).
How can I get www.test.com to appear in the browser address bar when I access
the site?
I realize this is a plone question as well, but I was hoping a url-rewrite
expert might know off the bat what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help you
can provide!
Mark

This depends on what you mean by "the domain registrar forwards...".
If they are forwarding using an HTTP redirect (and that looks to be
the case), then there is nothing you can do to change the name. You
can't lie to the browser about the site they are being asked to fetch.
What you should do is have the registrar change DNS settings to point
to your server instead of their redirector. You will still have a
problem with the port, since people will, by default, come in on port
80. You should set up your proxy on port 80 and then you can use a
proxying RewriteRule like what you suggested to hide the transfer
between your front-end and back-end servers.

Hi Mark,
With Zope / Plone yor config in apache should be:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R]
ServerName test.com
ServerAlias www.test.com
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://192.168.20.130:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80/$1 [L,P]
And in your Virtual Host Monster:
www.test.com /thefolderinyourzopeinstance
Or simply use:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://192.168.20.163:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80/PLONEFOLDER/
VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]
