Aha! I got Web Folders to work when pointed to a Zope/Zserver on the same machine, so the problem is probably with the servers I tried to point to first. I found an explanation in an earlier email on this list: the attempt to access _vti_bin is an attempt by Web Folders to see if the server supports FrontPage extensions. It tries this if it thinks the server does not support WebDAV. It might think a Zope/Apache server doesn't support WebDAV if Apache doesn't have the patches necessary to let the WebDAV inquiry pass thru to Zope. The patches are described at http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/Misc/mod_cgi_webdav_patch.html. Hope that helps the next person that tries this. BTW, everything you ever wanted to know about WebDAV is at http://www.webdav.org/. -- Loren

When I try to "Add a Web Folder" on Win98 I get a 404 error on the resource _vti_bin both on my own web sites and on www.zope.org. Any idea why or what is _vti_bin?

Yes, it is (one of the) the dreaded Frontpage extension(s). Why you would get it and someone else wouldn't ... I don't know. Perhaps you have MS products that use FP extensions (Frontpage, Interdev, whatever) installed?
