Zope behind IIS

Created by . Last modified on 2003/08/05.

I found some solutions to run an Zope Server behind an IIS Server. None of them mentioned the method I used, so I think I document it here.

IIS supports rewriting of URLs. So the easiest way to send a redirect to your Zope Server is to specify the URL in IIS and have a Virtual Host Monster Object in your Zope instance.

To configure rewriting in IIS goto the "Home Directory" Page in the IIS Management Tool. Click on "A redirection to a URL" and add the appropriate redirection.

e.g. http://123.456.78.132:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.abcdefg.de:80/ABCDEFG/Site/VirtualHostRoot/Nachrichten$S$Q
