I just grabed the latest Zope rpms , it seems to work fine , I get to the "welcome to Zope!" page and the QuickStart pages work , but when I try to access the managment screens I allways get Authorization error? I am using RedHat6.1 and have tried using Apache and Zserver and get the same error with both? I have tried changing the username and password in the access file.

There must be some thing simple that I am missing?

Perhaps. Are you by chance trying to access Zope from another machine other than the one you installed it on, and if so, did you set the domainname in the /var/zope/access file to permit access from that remote machine? The RPMs default to localhost only. I would have said you might have not configured Apache correctly to pass thru authentication info, but if you have the same problem with standalone ZServer then Apache is not involved. I really need to patch Zope to log reasons for authentication failures, so we can diagnose these things. I also need it to diagnose FTP login failures, of which I see a lot, due to the odd (but necessary) way Zope has of accepting a username/password and then re-applying it to each dir/file you access via FTP. You -think- you logged in correctly, but didn't and can't get info from Zope on what went wrong. -Jeff Rush
