I have a semi-urgent problem. Set up a VHM Monster mapped to url www.foo.com:8080/foo also edited host file (running XP) 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 www.foo.com The Problem: when I run the address www.foo.com I am required to submit a user name and password, I have created both a super user (owner) and a separate (manager) account and neither work I have tried 1/ modifying the ownership for the foo folder (this is slighlty confusing as there as so many permissions but I am 'assuming' only view is needed..) 2/ creating the foo folder as a manager as oposed to super user, I read this might make a difference 3/ slapping my face repeatedly Would appreciate some sage advice

Given the setup you describe, when you connect to www.foo.com, you're connecting to port *80* on localhost. It's quite possible that you already have something else (like IIS) running on 80. You can't log in because neither of your Zope users are recognized by that system.
2/ creating the foo folder as a manager as oposed to super user, I read this might make a difference
The super user serves one primary purpose: creating a manager. IMO, the first four things you should do with any Zope setup are: 1. Log in as the initial (super) user. 2. Create a manager user 3. Delete the initial user 4. Re-authenticate as the manager HTH, Dylan

When you have a difficult problem, try to make small steps. A most natural small step is to forget VHM for the moment and ensure that you can contact Zope without VHM magic as expected. Can you? If so and you cannot connect with VHM, then install Shane's "VerbodeSecurity" product. It helps with all kinds of authorization problems. -- Dieter
