Hi, I installed Zope and Apache in a windows 2000 platform. In order to configure Apache as the web server for Zope I have followed the many instructions to do that but it seems to work except for the authentication. The following are the step I made: 1- Copy Zope.cgi file to <apache-directory>/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi After that I tried to browse http://myHost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage and it asked me the user and password, I put Zope's user and pass but it doesnt work. Then, I decided to follow the steps in 'Zope authentication with existing web servers' in WEBSERVER.txt 2- I copied the following lines in the 'httpd.conf' file: RewriteEngine on RewriteLog logs/apache_rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 0 RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) "E:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin\Zope.cgi\$1" [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] Even that it didn't work, I mean it still asked me for the user and pass when I browsed through the Apache server but I cannot get the manage's page. So, I decide go further and follow the steps in the section 'Allowing your server to handle authentication itself' 3- I create the 'access' file executing the command line: E:\Web\ZopeSite>python zpasswd.py --username=superuser --password=super access 4- I create a user database for the Apache server performing the command line: E:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\bin>htpasswd users superuser super 5- I copied the following lines in the 'httpd.conf' file: <Location /cgi-bin/Zope/> AuthType Basic AuthName Zope-realm AuthUserFile "E:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\bin\users" require valid-user </Location> 6- I shutdown Zope 7- I start Zope 8- I browse http://myHost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage and still I behave as always, any user and password combination seems to be the right one. Anyway the Zope server still works by using its web server, I mean through http://myHost:8080/manage So, obviously the question are: I miss something during the configuration procedure? Could be the spaces in the Apache's pathname the problem? Thanks ___________________________________ EMN, http://www.emn.fr
