whew! i got the site deployed.. i will blog about the things i had to do to get it set up, but suffice it to say, it wasn't impossible... bear in mind that it's not public yet.. and not complete.. but it will be in a day or so.. but you can see it here: http://www.thoseoptimizeguys.com my question.. if you go to a page, you will see there is an extra '/' in the url... ie http://www.thoseoptimizeguys.com//ContactUs?_s=7leixyWenK8hmr6j&_k=oJw5… i am not sure if i need to change that in my image, or in my apache config.. that section of the apache config looks like: <VirtualHost *:80>          # set serer name          ProxyPreserveHost On          ServerName thoseoptimizeguys.com          ServerAlias www.thoseoptimizeguys.com          # connfigure static file serving          DocumentRoot /home/optimizeguys/optimizeImage/files          <Directory codingforhire/vmImage/files>            Order deny,allow            Allow from all          </Directory>          # rewrite incoming requests          RewriteEngine On          RewriteRule ^/pier(.*)$ http://www.thoseoptimizeguys.com/$1 [redirect,last]          RewriteRule ^/files/(.*)$ http://localhost:8085/files/$1 [proxy,last]          RewriteCond /home/optimizeguys/optimizeImage/files/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f          RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:8085/pier/$1 [proxy,last] </VirtualHost> -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101 _______________________________________________ Magritte, Pier and Related Tools ... https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/smallwiki
