IMHO, the vcl generated by the plone.recipe.varnish recipe is superior
to the one on that page.
I have now been asked to set up others substituting Apache2 for
lighttpd
by the developers, but haven't been able to find such detailed
instructions for Apache2. I believe I just need to find the Apache
equivalent for this line from lighttpd.conf:
proxy.server = ( /VirtualHostBase/ = (
( host = 127.0.0.1 , port = 6081 ) )
)
To my understanding something has to listen on port 80, send the
request
to Varnish, which then either serves from the cache or sends the
request
on to the Zope (Plone) port.
If anyone knows offhand or has some experience with this I'd like to
hear
from you. Is Apache a bad choice for this?
Apache is not necessarily a bad choice.
You will need to use ProxyPass or RewriteRule directives. The Apache
setup isn't really that much different than the standard Zope/Apache
config. Plone.org has plenty of docs on this:
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/plone-apache
http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/plone-with-apache
You might also want to look into the CacheFu product:
