[Setup] Plone via Apache 2 not working

[j.raggam at skillz.biz]

hello dan,

here is my config which works for debian/apache2.2:

<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName DOMAINNAME.TLD
   ServerAlias www.DOMAINNAME.TLD
# <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
     RewriteEngine   On
     RewriteRule     ^/(.*) 
http://localhost:8380/VirtualHostBase/http/DOMAINNAME.TLD:80/DIRECTORY_WHERE_PLONE_IS_INSTALLED/VirtualHostRoot/$1 
[L,P]
#  </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>


it's maybe close to yours.
what is the part "/mydomain.com/VirtualHostRoot/" in your config? is it 
the directory where plone is installed?
and notice: i have commented out the module check <IfModule 
mod_rewrite.c>. when i first installed apache and everything, the 
IfModule statement didn't work. today i tried it again, and it works - 
so it seems it was an apache bug.
if you have the IfModule statement included, try to comment it out.
you may also check the apache logs
tail -f /var/log/apache2/....

good luck,hannes
