Seaside and Apache, httpd.conf issue

    Hello list
....

Hi,

Configuring Apache is a real pain job and not so much documented. However I run with the same configuration as you do VW's TinyHttp and Apache 2.061 on a low cost VPN offering sharing many things through Apache.

It might not be perfect but here you go for my httpd.conf.  Don't forget to write ALL the file libraries to your public directory respecting the file structure.

Rgrds,

@+Maarten,

===============================================

<VirtualHost 193.34.17.215:80>

ServerName mydomain.com

ServerAlias www.mydomain.com

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^/$ /index [R]

# DocumentRoot /home/maarten/public_html

# only allow Seaside rewrite rule to fire, when request doesn't match an existing file

# RewriteCond /home/maarten/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# if no file was found, proxy the request to Seaside

# RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:8888/index/ [P,L]

# Set up general proxy properties

ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPreserveHost On

<Proxy *>

Order deny,allow

Allow from none

</Proxy>

# Set up main application URL

<Location /index>

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

# Proxy all requests to /home down to the actual host running Seaside

ProxyPass http://193.34.17.215:8888/index

ProxyPassReverse http://193.34.17.215:8888/index

# Additional aliases to serve files normally served by Seaside;

# this is a simple optimization to reduce load on the app server

# by letting Apache do what it does best, serve static files;

# normally in development these directories are served by Seaside

# to keep development environment simpler

Alias /files /home/maarten/public_html/files

Alias /images /home/maarten/public_html/images

# Alias /css /home/maarten/public_html/css

<Directory /home/maarten/public_html>

<Limit GET>

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Limit>

> I'm trying to make Seaside work behind Apache. I just want to try it out, it's not for production, so I'll be running the Seaside server in the same machine that Apache.

> For the Seaside part, I'm running a TinyHttp server on port 7777. The seaside apps are running ok, i.e. http://localhost:7777/seaside/go works well

NameVirtualHost *:80

> The problem I have is, if I access http://localhost/seaside/go (accessing via apache) an Exception is Thrown in smalltalk. So it looks like Apache is redirecting the requests to the seaside server but,  It looks like a file is being requested instead of the actual request.

> I've read the post in Ramon Leon's blog (http://onsmalltalk.com/programming/smalltalk/running-seaside-apache-and-iis-on-windowsxp/) and in Boris Popov's blog (http://leftshore.wordpress.com/2006/10/27/hint-setting-up-apache-proxy-for-your-seaside-host/) on this subject, also a few posts on the mailing list. But is too late and I can't find the answer.
