[Zope-CMF] CMFDecor troubles

[Phil Harris]

AFAIK the biggest problem is that FP expects to find directories called:

_vti_txt
_vti_script
_vti_pvt

and etc.

As you probably know, Zope doesn't allow names in the ZODB to start with _
(underscore).  This will cause no end of problems.

I've put a very small amount of thought into it and the only 'fix' I can
come up with is to front Zope with Apache and use the apache Rewrite module
to fool FP into thinking the folders are there even when they are actually
on an Apache 'htdocs' type folder structure.

I hope that makes sense.

Phil
