[opencms-dev] virtual hosting

[Bernd Wolfsegger]

Hi everybody,

I am using virtual hosting too; see my post from 9th of march.
Had no time to write it in english, but the text for the configurationfiles is 
language independent, so just ignore the text above the configurationfile 
text.
If you use the solution from the cms Page you will not be able to use forms 
with POST parameter, because the mod_alias Redirect does not redirect these 
parameters too ... Also no static content will be written to the filesystem, 
when you publish because of "ProxyPass /export !"

Another main problem with this new feature is, that URIs to the /sites folder 
are different depending on from were they are used.
If your site root is "/sites/default" and you use this URI literaly somewhere 
in your code it is correct if you are inside the OpenCms System.
If you are not inside, the URI had to be "/".
And there is no automatic conversion of the Uri depending on from where you 
are calling.
So I have a developed a little workaround.
I simply test info for "OpenCms.request.folder". If it contains /sites/default 
then I am inside and I use /sites/default for the path. When it does not 
contain this part I am outside and then I don't use this part for the path.
But this will not work with the cms:contentload tag, because there is no way 
to get the value of this variable into the "param" attribute ...
At this point I am stuck and hope that there will be something integrated into 
the system for automatic URI conversion.

Well perhaps has anybody else already solved the problem ...
