I've tried to install Zope 2.1.b1 this afternoon but came across a problem:

Using ZServer on port 8080 works fine, but I'd like to publish my site on a virtual host through Apache. I you the usual trick (RewriteRule...) that used to wolr with previous versions. It works fine for the first screen (http://localhost/) and the local documentation, but as soon as I try to manage the site (http://localhost/manage), the whole system goes into an endless loop, as witnessed by the apache log:

127.0.0.1 - - [08/Nov/1999:00:31:39 +0100] "GET /Zope/manage HTTP/1.0" 401 1487

...

Any Idea ?

S.

We have seen this behavior before in Netscape on multiple platforms - I'm pretty sure that this is a client bug where NS seems to have problems figuring out authentication on different ports with the same server. As I recall, you should be able to reproduce this by trying to access two password- protected resources on different ports on the same server using only Apache (taking Zope totally out of the picture). I don't know if this is considered a "known bug" by the NS folks or not - they may have some kind of bug reporting system online that you could check.
