Dear All,

I am new to sage-support, but I have been using Sage for a while with
good impressions! I have always been using www.sagenb.org, but now I
wanted to try it on a separate machine (Linux, Debian 5.0 Lenny).

I am afraid that Sage currently does not support what I like to do:

* My web server listens only to port 80 (Apache2).
* I would like to use my web server for other projects, not only Sage.
I do not want to install Sage into the (virtual) root directory of my
web server.
* Sage is installed in /home/sage from source. Everything works fine
(http://localhost:8000 is OK running locally).
* I tried ProxyPass-ing (described by the others earlier), but I had
to write many different lines for Sage:

    ProxyRequests Off
    RewriteEngine On
    ProxyPass /sage http://localhost:8000
    ProxyPassReverse /sage http://localhost:8000

    ProxyPass /pub http://localhost:8000/pub
    ProxyPass /login http://localhost:8000/login
    ProxyPass /css http://localhost:8000/css
    ProxyPass /images http://localhost:8000/images
    ProxyPass /home http://localhost:8000/home
    ProxyPass /settings http://localhost:8000/settings

(And so on. I guess this is not enough. And ugly, too.) This works,
but I am not satisfied with this result.

* In addition, "ProxyPassReverse /sage http://localhost:8000"; was not
neccessary. Also "RewriteEngine On" was unneeded.
* Now I can see (using "netstat -anp | grep 8000" as root) that the
sage notebook process listens only on localhost. This makes Sage
notebook unavailable for calling it outside (from a different machine,
within a web browser) without setting up an Apache Proxy.
* As a conclusion, I do think Sage should be improved to handle this
problem. I do think the fix must not be too difficult. I would be
happy to help making this modification, allowing relative paths. But
first please confirm if I am right in pointing these problems out.
