[opencms-dev] Problems with removing of /opencms/opencms (rewrite method)

[Peter Birchmeier]

Hi Sebastian

I forgot to mention my environment. I use winxp(sp2), Tomcat 4.1.29, 
Apache 2.0.49, JK 1.2.8, mySQL 4.0.x.
As you proposed, I watched the Cookie Infos (mozilla1.0.1). I found 
several "session cookies", one with a path value "/", and the others 
with "/opencms". I'm currently installing Tomcat 5.0.x to see if my 
problem has something to do with the version.

Yesterday i tried out a different approach by Bernd Wolfsegger 
(http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2005q1/016034.html). He 
uses ProxyPass to map domains to opencms subdirectories 
(multisite-configuration). I followed the instructions, but i call it a 
phenomenon that finally my tries resulted in the same problem as 
described for the rewrite method. As long as I set the 
<vfs-prefix>-property (opencms-inportexport.xml) to "/opencms/opencms" 
or even "/opencms" alone, everything has just worked fine. With an empty 
value, the workplace opened in online project mode instead of offline, 
and selecting the site "/" showed again the content of the 
"/sites/default"-site. And editing of pages wasn't possible due to the 
fact that the workplace was always in online-mode no matter what value I 
set the project mode to.
Since this method doesn't make use of the jk-connector, the symptoms 
must either have something to do with the tomcat or opencms itself...

Thanks Sebastian for your hint.
kind regards, Peter Birchmeier
