* How do I "name" the *blank* root folder? This is the same folder that is named "Plutonia" in the Zope manager's guide. Maybe the root folder has no name so that if I go to http://www.bob.com/ the "Folder at / " will present index_html to requesting browsers. If I did name it "plutonia" would it be accessible both as http://www.bob.com/ and as http://www.bob.com/plutonia ? So maybe I don't need to "name" this root folder. If so, then the Zope manager's guide needs to be clearer. In the fourth paragraph on page 12 it says: "...presuming that your ZOPE is installed at http://your.place.com/Objects and it's management screen is at http://your.place.com/Objects/manage" This does not follow through the document. There is no folder named "Objects" Maybe the document should say: http://plutonia.com/ and it's management screen is at http://plutonia.com/manage" And to manage one of the three departments used in the examples, say for example "News" then: http://plutonia.com/news/manage" Other notes on this issue: Timothy J. Grant asked: "...My problem is that my Root folder in Zope has no name, and it appears that FSIMPORT requires a folder name for it to work." No response was found to this post on the ZOPE list. -bobo connor

Right now you can't. And you don't need to. The "name" of the root folder is simply the SCRIPT_NAME your webserver uses to access Zope. By default in ZServer and ZopeHTTPServer this is an empty string, since they both normally server one published module, though they both can server multiple published modules. So, you can give your root folder a title, but you can't use Zope to change how your web server calls Zope. Do this with your webserver. In the case of ZServer, check out the zope_handler.py, it has options to set the SCRIPT_NAME. ZopeHTTPServer also has options to set the SCRIPT_NAME with command line arguments.
So maybe I don't need to "name" this root folder.
Right.
If so, then the Zope manager's guide needs to be clearer.
Perhaps the docs should be updated. The manager's guide probably assumes that you're using PCGI, but it shouldn't make this assumption. Hope this helps. -Amos
