I've been doing some more digging into this, and it seems to me that anyone 
whose ISP blocks port 80 and who is therefore redirecting web traffic to a 
different port is going to have difficulties with phpGW as configured.

I have 4 applications on my server which use SSL - IMP webmail, phpMyAdmin, 
PostNuke and phpGroupWare. The first three all resolve correctly when I 
access from off-site, rendering the URL correctly. phpGW seems to have an 
absolute setting of "www.mydomain.com" hard coded somewhere so that, if I 
point to "ww2.mydomain.com/pgw", I correctly see the login page, but when 
completing that and attempting to login, I can see that the browser is no 
longer trying to render "ww2", but "www" instead, and failing.

I am using ZoneEdit's Web Forward feature to handle the redirects to the 
alternate port.

I am now stuck, as I can't demonstrate phpGW to a potential client. I'd 
appreciate any feedback from anyone who understands Apache better than I do 
- especially if there's another way to do this. I'd also appreciate if one 
of the developers would comment whether I'm off-base, or if the design is 
causing this.

Thanks,
