[Zope] Apache SubFolder to Zope root folder using VirtualHostMonster

[Stefan H. Holek]

Lars!

If, as I seem to read from your mail, you only want to serve a single
vhost from your Zope instance, you do not need any SiteRoot/VHM.

Like so:

<VirtualHost ...>
    ...

    # enable caching
    ProxyRequests on

    # this is for the icons
    ProxyPass /p_                      http://my.org:8080/p_
    ProxyPass /misc_                   http://my.org:8080/misc_
    ProxyPass /Control_Panel           http://my.org:8080/Control_Panel

    # pass /zope
    ProxyPass /zope                    http://my.org:8080
    ProxyPassReverse /zope             http://my.org:8080

</VirtualHost>

And *no* extra config on the Zope side. 

HTH,
Stefan
