[Community-desktop] creating a folder below the root to place allcontent etc

[michaelntmilne]

I asked on the Plone Users list about this - The navigation and breadcrumbs are set by the portal root but you still need to use Apache to manipluate the URLs.

Thanks

Yes, it does.

With 2.5 you still need to deal with this in the rewrite rule

RewriteRule ^/content/(.*) http://cms.domain.com:8080/VirtualHostBase/
http/www.domain.com:80/ploneSite/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_content/$1 [L,P]

This is the best long term strategy with a Plone site.

Rewrite with Aapache.  I believe Plone 2.5 has mechanisms so you can
assert SiteRoot's and make your 'home' folder the "IPloneRoot" - or
something.  Ask on plone-users mailing list.  But then everything will
be computed from /plone/home instead of /plone
