[Zope] httpd.conf Zope on Apache-based ISP

[Patrick Kirk]

Hi Troy,

That looks so easy it'd be perfect!  Let me do the exact drafting and 
post it to you and the list for a sanity check before sending to the ISP.

The path to the html folder is /websites/enterpri/public_html

Zope will be untarred to a folder called 
/websites/enterpri/public_html/zope and configured to run on port 8081

All the hosting provider needs do is add this enter to httpd.conf

<VirtualHost 195.224.53.44>
   ServerName  www.enterprise-hr.com
   DocumentRoot /websites/enterpri/public_html/zope
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://64.5.48.153:8081/VirtualHostBase/http/enterprise-hr.com:80/websites/enterpri/public_html/zope/VirtualHostRoot/$1
[L,P]
</VirtualHost>

Once the virtual host monster is configured and zope is listening and 
8081, there is no more the hosting partner needs do.

Does this look right?
