Source of installation binaries: http://starship.python.net/crew/jrush/Zope/Zope232.html - rpm install with zserver rather than apache pcgi install (I am still trying the rpm installation vs tarball.) OS: RH7.0 Python: python-1.5.2-27 Browser: NCommunicator 4.77 Resources: 1. mailing list archive: I found a thread written by Darci and Chris - Darci was having the problem of loging in as superuser - but then seemed to resolve the problem by stopping and restarting zope - which I did ad naseum. 2. zopedocs 3. zope help I know it isn't the information in the access file because I ran 'python zpasswd.py -u superuser -p mynewpassword -d localhost' - nada - 'Authorization failed' I have tried using NN6 - no joy. a look at the authfailed page source shows: <!-- Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 162, in publish File /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, line 462, in traverse File /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py, line 588, in unauthorized Unauthorized: (see above) --> well - that went right over MY head! On the mailing list whenever anyone mentions having a problem with the rpm installation the response is try the tarball install. I really do not want to do that if I can avoid it so if there is anyone out there who can help me with this..please?
