Hiding Glass Behind Apache

Hiding Glass behind Apache (i.e. using Apache as a reverse proxy) is actually fairly simple:

Get Glass working by itself.

Configure Apache to act as a reverse proxy. At the very simplest, do something like:

#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/var/www/html">
    ...
#
# Redirect everything to Glass.  Match any uri and forward it on to
# localhost at port 8000.
#
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:8000/$1 [P]
</Directory>
