That's unfortunate, but we understand. Getting *anything* to work with Apache's mod_rewrite module is quite a chore. It doesn't help that distributions like RedHat 5.2 ship it in a broken way, then people blame us for it, then we track down a problem that is completely outside Zope.
Did you follow the recommendations to start with the built-in webserver before trying integrate with Apache? If so, did that work?

I finally got it working - just couldn't get it off my mind. Was kinda mindblowing the whole thing but finally - YES I MADE IT! :) What I did was to jump off the mod_rewrite thing and try let apache handle the authentication all together. At first I didn't know of the htpasswd binary (stupid as I am) so things didn't work at first. Then htpasswd lit my eyes - did the 'htpasswd -c' thing and ended up with a working AuthUserFile. Now the trick was to configure the damned thing in httpd.conf - this worked out ok: """ ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Order allow, deny Allow from all </Directory> AddHandler cgi-script .cgi <Location /cgi-bin/Zope/> AuthType Basic AuthName Zope-in AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/conf/zope_auth require valid-user </Location> # 'zope_auth' created with htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/conf/zope_auth \ 'username' """ Actually - just like the manual tells me to. I did some wrong links and generally fucked things up. Thanks for keeping me going at least (that goes to all U ppl answering me) - sorry for taking up your time. Sture Lygren Sture Lygren
