Hi Zopesters,

We have a problem with our Zope under Apache installation. Namely, the rename|cut|copy|delete|export buttons do not work for checkbox selections in the root of the ZODB. <snip> The problem seems to be a missing terminal slash in the URL generated by the management interface web pages. That is, on our system Apache requires URLs of the form http://our.ip.address/optics/ to find the Zope cgi script.

I've been running into very similar problems. So far most of the examples that have been on this zope site and this mail list have not been able to get me 100% to where I want to be. (They have been extremely helpful however). I was up late last night trying to get the last little bugs out of my implementation on NT (which weems to have some quirly little differences than a Linux installation). I didn't get everything done, but I think I have narrowed down the issues.

The rewrite rule for our installation is:

RewriteRule ^/optics/(.*) /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]

My guess is that the /optics/ extraction is what is killing you. I would need to see what else was in your config file. The following syntax fixed one of my problems (but created another). Try this to see if it accomplishes what you want. (Without seeing the rest of your config I may be way off) RewriteRule ^/optics/(.*) /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/optics/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]

Any ideas about how to circumvent this problem? (A non-Zope aside, can I intercept the URL that is being generated by my browser when using forms if I can't get access to the Apache logs?)

Trying to tie Apache / Zope / Rewrites and Virtual Hosting together has proved much more delicate than I ever expected it to be. When I am done and have things working just as I want, I am planning on putting together a How-To which is leaning from the NT side (client requirement ... no comments please <g>). I'll probably be doing it more for my benefit than anyone elses ... I don't want to have to go through this again <g>.

Any help is much appreciated.

I hope I understood your problem.

Darran.
