[users@httpd] SUSE 9.2 Apache 2.0.50 Rewrite problem

"John S. Wolter" <johnswolter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Sat, 26 Mar 2005 23:46:10 -0500

I may have a subtle Apache(2.0.5) Rewrite error I can't backtrack.  I'm not sure I'm 

getting out of the Apache environment.  I'm using the Apache Rewrite inside a VirtualHost> 

to a Zope.org content management system folder /wwservice declared as / at the same IP but 

port 8080.  It works like most Rewrites directing a URL to another.  I'm using a technique 

documented in http://www.zope.org/Members/lams/HowTo.2004-05-17.0444, "Installing and 

configuring Zope 2.7 with VHM, apache 2 and rewrite rules".

I'm getting a Forbidden 403, "You don't have permission to access / on this server", 

message after the Rewrite activity.  I look in the Rewrite log and it is rewriting for 

IP:8080/wwservice.  Where is it being sent?  LINUX filesystem? Zope?  I don't think it is 

getting to Zope as I can see the Rewrite log entries action but nothing added to Zope's 

access Z2.log.  No action there like it never arrived at IP:8080.

Here's the result from the rewrite log:

"go-ahead with proxy request

proxy:http:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/wwsrv01.my.net/wwservice/VirtualHostRoot/ 

[OK]"  The important part is proxy:http:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/ ,   xxx.. being a real IP 

address.  Next I get another error...

Here's the interesting part, I get an error for the error report like this:

"Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument 

to handle the request."  Sounds like Apache?  I'm wondering about deny, allow problems but 

  I haven't seen any yet.

I can get to Zope successfully by invoked the service using 

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/wwservice, the standard Zope main page comes up without a problem.

I'm guessing it's something within the Apache setup.  Any ideas?
