[Techtalk] apache, plone and mod_proxy headache

[Caroline Johnston]

Hi chix,

All this talk of plone for the new website inspired me to give it a go for
my lab's site. Installed no bother, but it's running on a server which
already has apache served content, so it's running on port 8080. According
to http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/plone-with-apache-1.3 you can use
mod_proxy to let zope on 8080 hide behind an apache on 80 without having
to open up 8080 on the firewall.

I've managed to get this working from the internal network but not
externally. I presume this is something to do with the fact that the
server has 2 virtual hosts, one for internal access and one for external
access, but I can't figure out how to setup the proxy so they both work. I
didn't set up the server in the first place so I'm not entirely sure how
it's supposed to work.

Anyone know anything about this kind of stuff? Bits of httpd.conf at
