[Zope] Newbie q: Name.error at startup

[Phil Harris]

I may just have the answer,

after installing Zope 2.0.0a1 on RedHat 5.2, Python 1.5.2 I had to make a
slight adjustment to the RewriteRule :-

From:

RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]


To:

RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]

Notice the lack of '/' on both sides of the rule.  This was done because
when Zope was looking for certain parts of it's system, it was not finding,
update screens, management interfaces etc.

This seems to have cured it for the moment and all is now working great 8^).

HTH
