I am trying to run Plone on my mac os x server using the apache server.
Doesn't plone use zope instead? (I'm pretty sure it does!)
It does. Zope certainly is also an HTTP server, but often in
deployment situations, Apache is put in front of it.
I added a ProxyPass statement to the site domainname.conf file
for the domain I wanted to use to point to the plone/zope server.
Why would you do this? It seems convoluted.
You'd use Apache's mod_proxy in order to redirect requests to Zope.
I can get to the home page but after that nothing maps correctly.
Does anyone know of a set of instruction steps for OS X 10.3.5 to
run plone under apache? How do I use SiteAccess rules to map the
domain?
You normally wouldn't run plone under apache, instead direct the
requests to zope instead of apache.
In all of our customer's deployments (whether Plone/Zope or a Java
app server), we put Apache in front.
Apache's been battle tested a lot more than Plone/Zope or other Java
based servers. Apache can also be used as a caching strategy. We
have one client install where we use Apache's caching to give them
the best of both worlds... a very fast experience for most of their
customers which servers as fast as file based content from Apache
while they can use a CMS to manage their content with Plone.
Mark,
Thanks for that wonderful overview. This would all seem to make sense
if zope doesn't support SSL and you wanted to proxy.
For caching though wouldn't squid make some sense?
