I'm really interested too. I'm having some problems in setting ez 4.2 with vhost. It doesn't load the stylesheets and doesn't allow access to the admin interface.

Here is my content in httpd-vhosts.conf:

     <VirtualHost *:80>
	<Directory "path/to/ezpublish">
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride None
	</Directory>

    <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
        php_admin_flag safe_mode Off
        php_admin_value register_globals    0
        php_value magic_quotes_gpc  0
        php_value magic_quotes_runtime  0
        php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference 0
    </IfModule>

    DirectoryIndex index.php 

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule content/treemenu/? /index_treemenu.php [L]
        Rewriterule ^/var/storage/.* - [L]
        Rewriterule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
        RewriteRule ^/var/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
        RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
        Rewriterule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.* - [L]
        Rewriterule ^/share/icons/.* - [L]

        RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico - [L]
        RewriteRule ^/robots.txt - [L]
        # Uncomment the following lines when using popup style debug.
        # RewriteRule ^/var/cache/debug.html.* - [L]
        # RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/debug.html.* - [L]
        RewriteRule .* /index.php
    </IfModule>

	DocumentRoot "path/to/ezpublish"
    ServerName hoc
	ServerAlias hoc admin.hoc
	
	ErrorLog "logs/hoc-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/hoc-access.log" common
	
</VirtualHost>
 

And here is an excerpt of siye.ini.append.php:

[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=false
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=hoc_site
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=eng
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=ita
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=hoc_admin
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=iphone
MatchOrder=host 
HostMatchMapItems[]
HostMatchMapItems[]=hoc;eng
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.hoc;hoc_admin 

Where I'm wrong?

update: I've also tried the suggestion in http://ez.no/developer/forum/install_configuration/ez_publish_4_2_cached_css_files_not_readable_by_the_browser but with no results.

Thank you in advance.

Guetano... while i agree 100% that these tools are useful...
Don't you think, that to every professional piece of software belongs a complete and up-to-date install documentation?
We are fully aware, that VHost type installation of ez is the best choice in terms of "nice URLs" and of security.... but we don't have the necessary set of Rewrite Rules/VHost configuration for this.
You are giving a user/customer hints for debugging a problem, that is caused by missing docu, because eZ Systems does not provide/update it...

Usually, all "current" useful documentation (read: install and upgrade docs) in found in the release news... but we cannot find them there, either.

So, ez, please provide the VHost configuration for ez 4.1 and 4.2. Thanks.

@Gaetano: thank you very much . You are always very kind and helpful. Of course now css and js files are correctly loaded.

However, I still have a problem: when I try to access http://admin.hoc I obtain the same frontend "eng" siteaccess I get with the URL http://hoc and not the interface application...

Is this a problem in my site.ini settings, as I suppose?

[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=false
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=hoc_site
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=eng
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=ita
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=hoc_admin
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=iphone
MatchOrder=host 
HostMatchMapItems[]
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.hoc;hoc_admin
HostMatchMapItems[]=hoc;eng
