after downloading the latest PCGI sanity checker i'm not much further ahead... the checker says my Zope.cgi looks OK, here it is: #!/usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Main PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=/usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=/usr/local/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src to eliminate all interference from faulty rewrite rules i deleted those and i am trying to access zope as http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi . i'm still getting the "temporarily unavailable" screen that says "error parsing pcgi info file" in the page source :( can anyone see some mistake in my Zope.cgi? i'm running 2.0.0b5 on a RH6 system with the standard apache that comes with RH6. jens -- Jens Vagelpohl **Better living through electronics**
