For people running lighttpd check out this page: http://plone.org/documentation/faq/how-to-use-plone-with-lighttpd/

e.g. I have the following (SSL enabled) in my lighttpd.conf:

$SERVER["socket"] == "${SERVER_IP):443" {
        protocol = "https://"
        ssl.engine = "enable"
        ssl.ca-file = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/ca-certs.crt"
        ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/ssl.crt"

url.rewrite-once = ( "^/(.*)$" => "/VirtualHostBase/https/${SERVER_NAME}:443/VirtualHostRoot/$1" )
proxy.server = ( "/VirtualHostBase/" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1" , "port" => 8080 ) ) )

} else $HTTP["host"] =~ "(.*)" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://%1/$1" )
}

Replace ${SERVER_IP} & ${SERVER_NAME} with your own

I need Zenoss at a lower level like https://mypublicserver/zenoss/ so I'm trying to use this:

RewriteRule ^/zenoss/(.*) http://localhost:8888/VirtualHostBase/https/mypublicserver:443/VirtualHostRoot/zenoss/$1 [L,P]

Which somewhat works, but I still see 404 errors in the Z2.log like this:

/VirtualHostBase/https/mypublicserver:443/VirtualHostRoot/zenoss/javascript/selection.js

Also it's generating this bad dashboard link https://mypublicserver/zport/dmd/ which lacks the /zenoss/

Is there somewhere other than zenactions.conf that I need to set the zopeurl so it knows its public URL?

I tried the above step and tried googling a lot but still it does not work. While accessing via the browser I get the error from apache

403 Forbidden

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

I like to use ProxyPass directives instead of mod_rewrite, though it's really a matter of personal preference. Here's what works for me:

<Proxy http://127.0.0.1:8080/*>
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyVia On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

If you're having problems with Zenoss creating HTTP URLs instead of HTTPS, look for the <cgi-environment> section in $ZENHOME/etc/zope.conf. If it's commented out, change it (or add an uncommented version) that looks like this:

<cgi-environment>

HTTPS ON

</cgi-environment>

If it isn't commented out, just add the HTTPS ON statement to the existing cgi-environment block.

For those of you trying to put zenoss under somewhere other than the root (e.g. /zenoss/) under Apache, check out mod_proxy_html (http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/). I haven't used it, but it's supposed to take care of changing URLs in the HTML content.

In case you haven't found it:

Is there somewhere other than zenactions.conf that I need to set the zopeurl so it knows its public URL?

Zope has the _fh_ construct for this purpose: i.e to just have the URL rewritten. For your example this would translate to:

RewriteRule ^/zenoss/(.*) \
http://localhost:8888/VirtualHostBase/https/mypublicserver:443/VirtualHostRoot/_fh_zenoss/$1 [L,P]

I'm sure you solved this by now, but for future refference, a detailed reason is usually in your apache's error_log

A little late but for anyone else that may have this problem. If you are using a redhat system and have selinux on you may get this error.

https mod works, but I now get this error on the dashboard:

"The server returned an error while trying to retrieve a map from Google. Please check your client key in the services page."

This worked prior to the change to https.
