[Zope] Re: WebDAV and Virtual Hosting

[Brokken, Allen P.]

I actually tracked this back to an issue with the Plone CMF running on
top of the site.  All of my other rewrites/VHM etc... are working as
expected.  Somewhere in the config it is setting a value "portal_url" =
<domain>/Plone.  I'm working through the Plone documentation now to find
why it's getting set by default to that.  There is a portal_url object
in all 3 main folders, I'm just not sure where to remove the default.
For some reason that variable is not being rewritten like everything
else.

I found that the "cookie crumbler" is writing portal_url before the
virtual host settings are read.  There doesn't appear to be a patch, and
it's not slated to be fixed any time soon from the bug report I found on
plone.org.  I'll just have to restructure the site.

First of, you only need 1 VHM in an antire Zope instance. If you have 
more you have misunderstood it.

I think it's a better idea to rewrite webdav to port 80. At other ports 
your customers will most likely get problems with firewalls.

I often redirect it to an address like: http://www.somesite.com/webdav

Using rewrite rules like:

RewriteRule ^/webdav(.*) 
http://localhost:1980/VirtualHostBase/http/www.somesite.com:80/VirtualHo
stRoot/_vh_webdav/$1

RewriteRule ^(.*) 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.somesite.com:80/VirtualHo
stRoot/$1
