we have a problem here.Our customer has a site already running in apache and we have to add the zope to it ,so that we can develop some good content management system for them.

Main issue is,the client is running site on ISP and he says he has access only to ".htaccess file" and he cannot modify http.conf file.I know that we can have zope running with apache using rewrite rule on http.conf file.Infact it is working fine in our place. Is there way to do the same with out modifying http.conf file and using .htaccess file.

As far as I know, the answer is NO ... The .htaccess file is for user authentication only. Nothing else. You might be able to run Zope as a cgi script without any changes to Apache's http.conf file ... The best solution is to change the provider ... Joachim
