[Setup] Plone through Apache on Mac OS X 10.4 Server (Tiger) Problems

[Daniel Melnechuk]

Stefan,

It sounds like you are recommending that i start over? Timothy  
mentioned that "ZEO" is not available in the prepackaged Mac OS X  
binary install. Is that something to consider with staying or not?

I did get my plone to serve correctly through apache with Timothy  
Reaves's rewrite rule:

	For other Plone instances, you need:
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8300/VirtualHostBase/http/% 
{SERVER_NAME}:80/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]

along with moving the Virtual Host Monster into the Plone object.  
Both WERE needed to make it work.

Not sure what you meant about default site... are you talking about  
the default site for Apache?

Thanks TImothy for you help!

I have already done some work setting up the plone site. If i stay  
with this for the moment, but later want to install from scratch with  
tarball, can i:

1. Stop plone.
2. install plone from tarball.
3. create an instance.
4. move the zope db from my current one into the var dir of the  
instance and start up new plone and have a chance of working?

Peace,
Dan
