[Zope-dev] RE-POST: getting Zap to work with cgi-bin directory?

[Michael Olivier]

I'm reposting because I got no responses to this, and we're stuck.

I would greatly appreciate any light you can shed on whether Zap should
work with its cgi-bin like standard apache does, and how to troubleshoot
problems.  Ours isn't working and it isn't clear to us what else to try.
