Yeah, I saw that Florian, Thanks.

Ok, so I executed
  * WADispatcher default setName: ''
  * re-inited Seaside and Pier.
  * stopped and started WAKom (that always seems to be needed)

Now, I can go to

   http://mydomain.com:9999/seaside

and the web browser displays the application that is the Default Entry 
of seaside/config.

In the particular Seaside Application config
  * place '/' in "Server Path"

With rewrite rules, it seems to work fine.

thanks!
