AW: [opencms-dev] OpenCms for Muliple Sites?

[Simon Wilks]

Me again,

Well, I tried this all afternoon and couldn't work it out. Sent it to this
list and 10 seconds later I solved it!!! Typical.

For those who are interested here is the answer:

Add the following line before the existing rewrite rule. The localhost may
be replaced by whereever your OpenCms images are kept.

RewriteRule   ^/pics/(.*) http://localhost/pics/$1 [R,L]


Would still like to know if anyone else has any ideas/experience on
"multiple sites" with OpenCms.

Regards,

>
> http://localhost/servlet/opencms/companyA/index.html and
> http://localhost/servlet/opencms/companyB/index.html
>
> The next step is to get the appropriate host name to be displayed

> localhost. I do this with Apache's Rewrite Module as follows:
>
> <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
>     DocumentRoot d:/Apache/Apache/sites/companyA
>     ServerName www.companya.ch
>     RewriteEngine on
>     RewriteRule ^(.*) /servlet/opencms/companyA$1 [R]
> </VirtualHost>
>
> This does a redirect for me to the appropriate URL, ie:
> http://www.companyA.ch/servlet/opencms/companyA/index.html
>
> This works, as does logging into OpenCms with
> .../system/workplace/action/login.html
>
> ONLY, the OpenCms images (such as the OpenCms logo on the login
> screen) are
> not being displayed correctly as they are being trapped by the
> above rewrite
> rule and being sent off to the wrong location.
>
> Has anyone done this sort of thing successfully and know how to
> solve this?
> Or is there another way around this?
>
> Thanks in advance,
