I'm absolutely stumped on Apache & Plone config

[wendi88]

I have exhausted figuring out something that should be very simple to do via httpd.conf configuration.

1. Have all requests via port 80 to

http://www.example.com/plone

be redirected to localhost:8080 (i.e. serve plone site)

2. Have all other requests other than /plone* forwarded to the index.htm file in the root /var/

http://www/html

folder

I would think that this is a VERY basic configuration? Base VH configuration works fine but only performs the /plone redirect on port 8080; I’ve tried dozens and dozens of other configs to serve the /var/

http://www/html/index.htm

file.

Listen 80
...
NameVirtualHost *:80
...
</VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName

http://www.example.com

DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/html/

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)

http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.com:80/plone/VirtualHostRoot/$1

[L,P]
</VirtualHost>

I'd also be willing to open a port for each, if that would work. However, I cannot start Apache with a “double listen” (e.g. “Listen 80” [next line] “Listen 10080”)

Help?

</VirtualHost *:80>

Is this a typo? It should be:

<VirtualHost *:80>

Other than that, the problem may be with your reference to localhost. When you request localhost, apache will resolve to the default vhost. Since you have at least one vhost defined apache will no longer server the 'main' server. It defaults to the first vhost defined. What are you trying to accomplish with this type of setup? Maybe we can come up with another way.
