Yeah. Put a CGI script in a password-protected directory and have it print out the environment. If there's an HTTP_AUTHORIZATION variable that says "Basic" followed by some base64 gibberish, you're in.
Uh oh. What was that that just went over my head. :) I attempted to do what I thought you said. I created a directory, cgi-bin/test, and gave it only owner permisions. I then tried to run the test.py script from Netscape and got an error. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/test/test.py on this server. Oops. :) Got any instructions for someone who's clueless?
This means that ZOPE should run virtually out of the box on a Hiway or RapidSite host. A couple of points to mention, though... Hiway does not allow you to run your own servers, so ZopeHTTPServer is absolutely out. Since Hiway servers are also periodically rebooted for various kinds of maintenance, you cannot rely on such a process staying up indefinitely anyway. This also means you need to be sure if you're using an LRP that it can auto-start from the web.
Thanks for the reply. I hope any/all site(s) with excellent support for Python/Zope does well and prospers. :)
Ugh. You just reminded me...
Oh. Anytime. :) Although I built Python 1.5.1 and it's on
all the Hiway/RapidSite servers, and it even includes loadable modules for ExtensionClass and Acquisition, Hiway doesn't give customers access to the IRIX C compiler any more, so you're currently out of luck if you want to use cDocumentTemplate or any of the other new C stuff. When I get out from behind my current backlog I will try to get the binaries up to date and include the good stuff from Zope. Although, in order not to annoy the sysadmins too much, I'll want to keep new-version compilations to a minimum.
I didn't know it when I signed up with my webhost but having access to the C compiler came in handy. When I request they add Python 1.5.x to their support they said okay if they get enough requests. So with a little help from c.l.p. I compiled Python 1.5.1 to my directory. :) I can see it will come in handy with Zope. :) Thanks for your patient help. Jimmie Houchin

FWIW, we'll be making self-contained binary distributions of Zope available that have their own pre-built Python interpreter and extensions. So, assuming you are on a platform that we have binaries for, you won't need a C compiler to use Zope. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Technical Director (540) 371-6909 Python Powered!

Sounds good. I am not a Linux expert, but I know y'all (it is permitted for us Texas folks to say y'all isn't it?) used have Linux binaries, I think. :) I guess this become available in a future beta? I presume, that this will make install easier? Not that I've had problems, I haven't done it yet. Thanks again, Jimmie Houchin
