Check out the mailing-list archive. Numerous people (including myself)
have posted working configurations. The only difference between Apache
1 and 2 is that Apache 1 does not support the PreserveProxyHost
directive, so you just skip it in your configuration and set
server-name and port
in the Seaside configuration, so that Seaside can properly generate
absolute URLs.
