Thanks everyone for your help, but I'm still not getting it to work. Here again is the modified version of my httpd.conf: <Directory "/"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Options +ExecCGI # allows Apache to pass authentication headers to zope RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) /export/www/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1 \ [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] </Directory> RewriteLog /var/log/apache/rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 9 (Note that the two last lines are actually one). BTW, Thomas, making the changes that you suggested didn't let me go to http://my.machine.tld/Zope and access the Zope welcome screen; I got a file not found. I also neglected to tell you all that I'm running Apache 1.3.9 on Linux 2.2.12 kernel. Thanks again for your time.
