[Seaside] Apache with Seaside and VW 7.8 nc

[squeakman]

Greetings,

I am trying to get Seaside on VW 7.8 running behind Apache 2.22. I am 
following the instruction in the seaside book ( 
http://book.seaside.st/book/advanced/deployment/deployment-apache/configure-apache).

I am running on Win 7 and here is my httpd-vhosts.conf

-------
NameVirtualHost *:80


<VirtualHost *:80>

     # set server name
     ProxyPreserveHost On
     ServerName localhost

     # configure static file serving
     DocumentRoot /seaside/web
     <Directory /seaside/web>
         Order deny,allow
         Allow from all
     </Directory>

     # rewrite incoming requests
     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteCond /seaside/web%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:7777/seaside/$1 [proxy,last]

</VirtualHost>
--------

when I enter the "localhost/counter" as a url in Firefox I get the 
following error message:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this 
address in a way that will never complete.

Any clues or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank
