thanks for the quick reply.
Because you're being mapped into your Plone folder and not the site root. It's the same as saying http://OurSite.com/ploneFolder/manage
I think that I mis-typed. That should be OurSite.com/plone I actualy get a slightly different view between http://OurSite.com/plone/manage - I only see the plone site http://OurSite.com/manage - I see the Root Folder and acl_users and plone site (and no Control Panel)
I don't know why http://OurSite.com/plone works, unless you actually meant http://OurSite.com/ploneFolder (in which case acquisition is allowing the equivalent of http://OurSite.com/ploneFolder/ploneFolder to work right) or you have some other object called 'plone'.
I think the RewriteRule does the trick. ...
One thing you may do is create a subdomain that maps to the root rather than a subfolder, so that http://manage.OurSite.com/ would give you the root, and http://manage.OurSite.com/manage would be 'manage' on root.
Oh, that's an idea. To tell the truth, another person and I have debated whether is makes sense to put separate plone sites in separate folders and make a VirtualHost with each one OR just place each plone instance at Root. We don't know and haven't been able to find arguments either way (except among ourselves. :-) Since we are spanking new to Zope and Plone, we felt it might be a good idea to have a real site and a playground site. So, we created two folders and in each one is Plone and two VirtualHosts in httpd.conf. We may want, in the future, to create additional Plone site, so some good hints from others who have trod this path are very welcome. dennis - have gudulka, will travel http://KafanaKlub.com
