Fwd: [Zope] Server Spontaneously Quitting

[Patrick Kirk]

OK.  I'd be grateful if others on the list would read this as well to 
provide a sanity check.

Step 1: Put a Virtual Host Monster in your Zope root folder.  Give it a 
unique id but it really doesn't matter what you call it.

Step 2: Let us assume you have a site called http://www.buystuff.com 
served from a folder called "buystuff" in your root directory and a site 
called http://www.mycause.org is served from "mycause" folder.  Lets 
also assume your IP is 111.111.111.111 and Zope is on port 8081 with 
Apache on port 80.

Step 3: The virtual hosts section for www.buystuff.com will read:
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin you at you.com
     DocumentRoot /this/does/not/matter
     ServerName www.buystuff.com
     ErrorLog logs/www.buystuff.com-error_log
     CustomLog logs/www.buystuff.com-access_log common
     RewriteEngine on
     RewriteRule ^/(.*) 
http://111.111.111.111:8081/VirtualHostBase/http/www.buystuff.com:80/buystuff/VirtualHostRoot/$1 
[NC,L,P]

</VirtualHost>

Step 4: The virtual hosts section for www.mycause.org will read:
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin you at you.com
     DocumentRoot /this/does/not/matter
     ServerName www.mycause.org
     ErrorLog logs/www.mycause.org-error_log
     CustomLog logs/www.mycause.org-access_log common
     RewriteEngine on
     RewriteRule ^/(.*) 
http://111.111.111.111:8081/VirtualHostBase/http/www.mycause.org:80/mycause/VirtualHostRoot/$1 
[NC,L,P]

</VirtualHost>

Apart from the [NC,L,P] this is from the virtual host monster 
documentation.  And others on this list gave me them!

Step 5: Run the command "apachectl configtest" and it will tell you if 
there are any syntax errors without requiring you to restart apache and 
find out the hard way you've put a comma in the wrong place.

Step 6: Run "apachectl restart" and your sites should now be served from 
Zope through Apache.  And the beauty of it is that it just works.

If you have any problems, let us know.
