Hi Ron, I hear this a lot, so here's my standard answer in hopes it helps. Since you are running Zope behind Apache via PCGI, your inability to log in is due to one of two cases: 1. you haven't correctly added URL rewrite rules to Apache, so that browser login authentication information is passed thru to Zope, 2. you're having a problem with the domain name restriction given in the file /var/zope/access. #2 above is more common, so I'll presume you've followed all of the Apache rewrite-rule instructions on my website. To fix #2, look in /var/zope/access and see what the *third* parameter is on the first line; "username:password:domain". It comes by default set to "localhost", for security reasons. If you are trying to log into from a different machine than the Zope server is on (you didn't say in your msg), you must remove/change that domain restriction. I suggest removing it AND THE COLON before it. Note that if you leave the colon, Zope will only accept logins from (empty string) domains, i.e. none. Second problem people have is that they don't _have_ a name defined on their boxes for "localhost" -- some (Red Hat 7.2 and up) use "localhost.localdomain" instead. If so, then removing the domain restriction will fix you up. Let me know if this helps and if not, I'll try further. In that case I'll need more details, logs etc. I wish Zope would log a clue on -why- a login failed -- invalid domain, no auth info from Apache, bad password, etc. etc. No such info is available though. -Jeff On Friday 01 March 2002 17:20, Ron Arts wrote:
Hello,
I am having real difficulty with Zope+pcgi-wrapper. (http://www.taupro.com/Downloads/Zope/Zope243)
On the machines where I have been testing (two so far) I am only allowed to install RPM's. The traditional ./configure; make; make install are not allowed (because it's more difficult to remove later).
I used the RPM's that are advertised on www.zope.org, followed post-install instructions, and.. normal access works, but /manage does NOT let me in. AT ALL. This happens on two different machines.
Now what? Can anybody help?
