I'm trying to understand various aspects of permissions. I wanted to encapsulate my whole web site, so beneath / (root) I put a /Home folder. I would like only the contents of /Home to be viewable. I first set the protection of / to be not viewable by anonymous but then any time I try to do anything I have to enter a password. I worked around this by making the /index_html not viewable by anonymous, but leaving /Home viewable. Is this the way I am supposed to do it, at the document level as opposed to the folder level?
Probably what's happening here is that: a) You don't have an index_html in Home, in which case it's acquired from / or b) You are using standard_html_header and standard_html_footer in /Home which are acquired from /. "b" probably explains the behavior you suggested in your following paragraphs (which I snipped). -- Chris McDonough Digital Creations, Inc. Zope - http://www.zope.org
