Domino ain't the only server ya know
As I mentioned yesterday, I like to keep up with the latest and greatest when it comes to software. Hence I am using Red Hat 9 which comes with Apache 2 by default. Version 2 deals with modules differently to version 1.3 which means that Marcin's excellent PHP & Domino project is a little out of date. In order to get it to work, I had to make a few changes. Here they are:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).pma(.*) http://localhost:81$1.pma$2 [P]
RewriteRule ^(.*).nsf(.*) http://epsdomsvr01:82$1.nsf$2 [P]
Note that there is no need to test for the mod_rewrite module before you write the rules and that there is a change to the syntax of the proxy configuration. Another change I had to make was to specify Allow from all in the proxy. I don't know why or if this is a bad thing - just the only way I could get it to work. Note that in my setup I have the Domino HTTP server running on port 82 and Puakma's on port 81. Notice how I specified the address of the Domino server in the NSF rule? No idea why I had to do this but it appears that Domino 6 pass the page back with all links relative to whatever you specify in that address. Obviously if you put localhost it won't work.
All works well. I have Apache, Domino, Puakma and PHP all running on the same machine. The only annoyance I have is with Domino (surprise, surprise). It insists on inserting the port number in to URLs when you submit forms. Say you submit a form from the URL http://myserver/db.nsf/data?OpenForm. The URL returned from the server will be of the form - http://myserver:82/db.nsf/data?OpenForm&seq=1. If it's a database that requires you to login, you will be asked to login again! It's always something...
Anyway, hope you all have a nice weekend. If you happen to be in or around Sydney get down to the half-marathon and see if you can't spot Brendon "Puakma" Upson on Sunday. Cheer him on as I've given him a challenge - beat my time.

Hey! Good time in the run!
I hope Brend can do something like that, but if the guy keeps working lika the past week may be he could be a bit sleepy (Mucho Worko Brend!)
Thanks for the tips Jake, at this time I have all my apache servers working with that setting. Domino and Puakma are working fine. Really cool stuff.

FINISHED!!!
I beat my target of 2hrs, finishing in 1:59:26. Very happy with that :-) I can tell you, with 3km to go I thought it would never end!
Off for a delightful lunch in Manly now, a few beers, and will probably pass out some time around 3pm.
Brendon.
Hi,
can we have more details on how you accomplish to made it work ?
i've tried with an ubuntu 6.10 and apache 2, with a domino 7.0.2 fp2, but i can't get it working with rewrite url or mod proxy of apache.
in fact, i use Virtual hosts on my apache2 configuration, so i imagine i can't use the httpd.conf file.
