I thought this problem was gone, but I was wrong. I deleted everything from the database that isn't directly involved in this problem. I also deleted all Transparent Folders. http://yourserver:8080/method_A still works. http://yourserver:8080/method_A/manage_main shows the path as /method_A. Disabling the TransparentFolders patch and restarting, http://yourserver:8080/method_A returns Not Found. Renaming Folder_A to Folder_AX, http://yourserver:8080/method_A returns Not Found. Creating a new folder named Folder_A and copying everything from the original Folder_A into it, http://yourserver:8080/method_A still returns Not Found. So we're dealing with serious voodoo here. It seems that I can eliminate the problem by simply copying the project to a new directory. But I would very much like to know what is going on here, rather than just sweep the problem away. I just know it will come back to bite me if I do that. Itai The Infinitely Annoyed Shane Hathaway wrote:

The TransparentFolders Product seems to make everything transparent... not just transparent folders.

Zope/ Folder_A/ method_A Folder_B/ (transparent folder) method_B

I'd expect the only effect of the transparent folder to be that /Folder_A/method_B would work. But /method_A and /method_B also work. Tested in Zope 2.3b2 and 2.3b3 with TransparentFolders 0.3.

Hmm... I can't get mine to do that. You're sure Folder_A isn't transparent also? Did you ever have a transparent folder by that name, in that same place? (Indicating a bug)

Otherwise leaving things as they are, if you put a transparent folder at the root of the site, do you still get the same behavior?

What path does it tell you if you visit http://yourserver:8080/method_{A|B}/manage_main?
