ReDirection

Redirection Notes

I find redirection in a complex apache/ssl/virtual-hosts/site-access/redirector environment to be a little confusing. Here are my working notes

Objective:To reach a CMF portal or other zope sub-object with a nicer, simpler URL

Different ways of doing it

• Using Site Root and Access Generalized Site Access Rule from imeme.net
• Redirector Product (watch out for cache confusion)
• Virtual Host Folder Product
• ApacheRules
• Best Documentation on siteaccess

Redirector Issues

• If I try to redirect a folder to a sub-folder in the same zope tree, I cannot use the full URL, only a relative URL, otherwise Redirector appends http: to the end of the redirected URL.

Siteroot Issues

• use //url/_SUPPRESS_SITEROOT/manage to get back into a siterooted area when locked out
• use //url/_SUPPRESS_ACCESSRULE/manage to get back into a linked folder (with the property link_to set to the linked folder, and a method made into site access rule)

Future remove siteroot access rules and VHM from TTW
