[Zope] Realization about Apache and zope

[Joshua Brauer]

The behavior you describe is exactly what you are asking rewrite rules to do for you.

If you want to access zope with this URL:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage

you'll need to set your Zope folder (containing Zope.cgi) as the cgi-bin folder for your server using script alias in your Apache httpd.conf file. Alternately you can change your rewrite rules to rewrite from something like this:

/Zope^(.*) /websites/Zope-2.0.1/Zope.cgi$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:
%1,E=ZOPE_RAW_URI:SCRIPT_URI,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]


to:

/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi^(.*) /websites/Zope-2.0.1/Zope.cgi$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:
%1,E=ZOPE_RAW_URI:SCRIPT_URI,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]
