[Zope] index_html rendering problem under VHM

[Dylan Reinhardt]

Your problem is an artifact of your testing process. 

After the initial page loads, you need images and probably some CSS.  It
will look for these things where you have told the server it is
running... at www.dccc.edu.  But they aren't there, so they don't load.

For example, you have:
http://www.dccc.edu:8080/commcorp/commcorp.jpg
but nothing at:
http://www.dccc.edu/commcorp.jpg

Adding index_html allows acquisition to works some magic, I suspect. 
Your test is still wrong.  :-)

What you should do is pass Zope the *correct* address to serve itself
as.  If your apache test machine is at test.dccc.edu then *that* is the
domain you'll need to specify, not www.dccc.edu.  Don't use your
production address until you're ready to cut over.

HTH,

Dylan
