Hi Vincent...

Are you still having this problem?

I just downloaded and built Apache 1.3.3 and it works fine with Zope 1.9b3
on RHL5.1 Intel.

I stole the http.conf and start scripts from the recent 'Zap' release. The
only real change I made was to move the Rewrite rule from the 'start' script
into the httpd.conf.

I *was* getting the error message you were getting while playing around with
the configuration, but I found that killing the publisher as well as apache
in between restarts fixed the problem.

Cheers,

Andy.

# httpd.conf file pre-configured for Zope.  Note that
# most of the configuration is specified in the start script
# in the parent directory.

RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /home/andy/apache_1.3.3/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1
