[Zope] netscape fastrack server and zope..?

[Jens Vagelpohl]

hi zopistas

here's an odd one. i've never heard of anyone running Zope with PCGI through
a Netscape server, but somehow a friend of mine set it up (FastTrack 2.0.1)
and now he has just one little problem.

renaming an object works when he accesses the zope instance using the port
ZServer listens on, but he is getting a "Not Found" error when using the
netscape server port. Looking at his logs he finds that the rename operation
all of a sudden tries to display the URL <server>/Zope/. (including the
dot), which results in the "Not Found" Netscape server message.

his rewrite rule is:

NameTrans from="/Zope" fn="pfx2dir"
dir="/stripe1/zope/Zope-2.0.1-src/Zope.cgi"

which looks a translation of the standard example rule used to set up
apache.

here is a little piece of log from the server. notice the "404" in the last
line:

<snippers>

is anyone here actually using the FastTrack server and could spot the
problem?

any help greatly appreciated :)
