Hi,

We had a third party come in and install our outsourced website on our web server.  The site runs under Zope on port 8080.  All our urls start like this: http://domainname:8080/...

Can ISAPI_REWRITE change the URL to look like this: http://domainname/... thus hiding the port but still allow the site to run on port 8080?

Our server is an AMD 64-bit Windows 2003 R2 running IIS6 and ISAPI_REWRITE 64.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I finally got it to work, but it still displays the 8080 in the URL.  Is there a way to show the URL without the 8080?

Thanks

Paul

I don't think it is doing the second rewrite rule, here is what shows in the log:

[rid#41233640/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /
[rid#41233640/initial] (1) Htaccess process request C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3\httpd.conf
[rid#41233640/initial] (1) Htaccess process request d:\{path to web site}\.htaccess
[rid#41233640/initial] (3) applying pattern '^(.*)$' to uri '/'
[rid#41233640/initial] (4) RewriteCond: input='www.domain.com' pattern='^www\.domain\.com$' => matched
[rid#41233640/initial] (1) escaping http://www.domain.com:8080/
[rid#41233640/initial] (2) explicitly forcing redirect with http://www.domain.com:8080/
[rid#41233640/initial] (2) internal redirect with / [INTERNAL REDIRECT]

Is what I am trying to do even possible?

Thanks for helping out.

Now it just says cannot display web page.  See log below. 

applying pattern '^(.*)$' to uri ''
RewriteCond: input='www.domain.com' pattern='^www\.domain\.com$' => matched
escaping http://www.domain:8080
forcing proxy-throughput with /x.rwhlp?p=0
go-ahead with proxy request /x.rwhlp?p=0 [OK]
rewrite '' -> '/x.rwhlp?p=0'
internal redirect with /x.rwhlp?p=0 [INTERNAL REDIRECT]

Thanks for trying.

The site is working, but it always displays the port in the url.  I just want ISAPI_Rewrite to remove the port from the URL since the site is not running on port 80.  There are no errors.

Is it possible to remove the port from the URL if it is running on a port other than 80?  That is the problem we are trying to address and were told by this third party that ISAPI_Rewrite would solve.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what other information I can provide. 

Are you saying that what we are trying to do is not possible with Isapi rewrite?

Just so you know, the above suggestion worked once the Zope programmers gave us the correct URL to place in the RewriteProxy rule.

Thanks for all your help, we just purchased a license.
