Hi!
Looks like you should have documented *your* work...
Well, I guess that would have been best. ;)
When you have an Apache in front of Zope, you usually use an unconfigured VHM (Virtual Host Monster) instance in your Zope and one Apache named Virtual Host per domain.
I haven't tried that solution yet since I got it working with Zope only. But as I don't seem to be able to get everything working as it was I may try it with rewrite rules today. But before I will do so I would like to know if I am able to use Zope as an "overlay" to Apache, so I can still have directories managed by Apache rather than Zope if I apply a rewrite rule to my Apache root-dir. (domain.tld/dir1 -> domain.tld:8080/VHM/user/... but domain.tld/dir2 will not be rewritten)
Do not forget to document your own solution, in case you need to redo it again.
I think I have learnt from my mistake and I really will do it this time. :)
Maybe, you defined your users in local "acl_users" and restricted the permissions in the root folder?
Kind of, but everything I've tried yet didn't work.
Read the Zope Book (2.6/2.7 edition, online). You need background information when you really want to use Zope...
I already thought about getting the printed version of the book either from a local library or a shop. (I don't really like reading on a screen) At first I searched for "3rd party"-books but unfortunately there don't seem to be any (affordable) usable books.
Learn about the difference between HTTP basic authentication and cookie authentication. You could read the Web publishing section of
<http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html>
Use either a UserFolder that supports Cookie authentication or use CookieCrumber with any UserFolder.
Thanks, I will take a look at it. ;) Bye, Daniel
