Configuring IIS for proxying

by Andy McKay — last modified Dec 30, 2008 03:05 PM
This covers configuration of the proxy.

Download the Enfold Proxy from Enfold's website.

  1. Stop IIS.
  2. Install it on the IIS server. When you install it will ask if you would like to install the proxy into the default web site. If this is the one you'd like to use then check to install it.
  3. Open the file called eep.ini in your Enfold Proxy installation directory, by default this will be c:\Program Files\Enfold Enterprise Proxy
  4. Enter a host for each Plone you would like to proxy to for example: 
    [host YourHost]
    lh_root = /
    vh_host = localhost:8080
    vh_root = Plone
  5. That's it. Access the IIS site in your browser and you will be able to access Plone.
In the above example, the vh_host is the location of your Plone instance. The vh_root is the location of the Plone site inside the server. For more information on the options, see the documentation.
