<div>I finally have my Wamp which includes Apache working again. Now for the hello world help request.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried hooking up a plain "one click" Seaside to Apache using the book's <a href="http://book.seaside.st/book">http://book.seaside.st/book</a> advanced topics / deployment / deployment with Apache / Configuring Apache and Serving files with Apache. After failing with copies of the Virtual Host blocks and various combinations thereof such as:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><VirtualHost *:80><br> # set server name<br> ProxyPreserveHost On<br> ServerName <a href="http://www.wantdesk.com/">www.wantdesk.com</a><br> # rewrite incoming requests<br> RewriteEngine On<br> RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ <a href="http://localhost:8080/seaside/$1">http://localhost:8080/seaside/$1</a> [proxy,last]<br>
</VirtualHost></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I decided it was time to ask for assistance again. Last time the assistance was not specific plus I had a problem with my Apache server being down. Now it's fine but the book addresses Linux servers using Apache and not Windows servers using Apache. Seems like an omission considering earlier treatment of both OS's.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The book is also unspecific on things like:</div>
<div>"The setting <code>ProxyPreserveHost</code> enables Seaside to figure out the server name automatically, but this setting is not available for older versions of Apache. In this case you have to change the Seaside preference ‘server name’ for all your applications manually."</div>
<div>Missing is what Apache releases work or what is the last one that fails? And how to do the manual stuff? Just a few ideas for the book & tutorial writers. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>What I need is simple yet detailed instructions to get a one-click Seaside to do a hello world display of something like the regular 8080 screen under WindowsXP & Apache. Thank you.</div>
