[ZDP] Re: Resent: FAQ Tool Working Group

[Robert OConnor]

Hi Martijn,

I just uploaded this faq and it didn't quite work
as I had intended (See end of below link)

http://www.gaaros.com:9673/FAQ/S49676594

I added the following what I though was structured
text:

<question>How do I *name* the *blank* root folder?  Like *Plutonia* in Zope
Managers Guide</question>
<author>Bob OConnor</author>

<answer>This blank rooot folder is the same folder that is named
*Plutonia* in the Zope manager's guide.

Right now you can't rename this folder. And you don't need to. The
*name* of the root folder is simply the SCRIPT_NAME your webserver
uses to access Zope. By default in ZServer and ZopeHTTPServer this
is an empty string, since they both normally server one published
module, though they both can server multiple published modules.

So, you can give your root folder a title, but you can't use Zope
to change how your web server calls Zope. Do this with your
webserver. In the case of ZServer, check out the zope_handler.py,
it has options to set the SCRIPT_NAME. ZopeHTTPServer also has
options to set the SCRIPT_NAME with command line arguments.

Perhaps the docs should be updated. The manager's guide probably
assumes that you're using PCGI, but it shouldn't make this
assumption.

Here is a set of rules for Apache:

 '# Zope configuration maps /Zope/ to the Zope.cgi CGI script '
 'RewriteEngine on '
 'RewriteRule ^/Plutonia/(.*) /Zope/$1 [e=SCRIPT_NAME:Plutonia] '
 'RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  ^(.*) '
 'RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /usr/local/apache/share/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] '

Maybe the SCRIPT_NAME can be added into the Zope RewriteRule...

*NOTE:* The Manager's Guide (Docrev 1.1,1999/01/20 13:13:17 Zope v 1.9)
will eventually be updated and this FAQ may then not be necessary.

Problem with the posted text is that everything
wrapped together perhaps I should have used
an HTML editor?? like NS composer?

Also, I used single quote to isolate program code.  This
also didn't work.

Feel free to edit.   I didn't give attribution to
Amos and Richard wolf who provided most of the
answers.

Also, Perhaps an "expiration date" field is needed.
This question may not be necessary after the
Manager's guide is updated.

BTW, The FAQ site is SUPER!  Thank you.
