Darran, I think your mailer has a Y2K problem as your message header is as follows: Subject: [Zope] Zope and Apache: root of ZODB reference problem? Date: Fri, 7 Jan 100 17:48:55 +1100 (EST) From: Darran Edmundson <dee124@rsphy1.anu.edu.au> To: zope@zope.org Have you tried removing the terminal slash in the rewrite rule? Darran Edmundson wrote:

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.

[check any item in the root, ie. "standard_html_header"] [hit any of the above-named buttons, ie. "rename"]

Not Found The requested URL /optics was not found on this server.

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. 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]

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?)

Any help is much appreciated.

Darran.
