I've been having problems with copy/paste/rename with my site, which is apache
proxypassing (mod_rewrite [p] actually) onto a siterooted subdir of zserver. I
haven't had time to set up a clean environment to evaluate exactly what goes
on when it fails but intend to over the next fortnight. I appear to have 2
separate issues:

1 Trying to copy objects from outside the siteroot'd hierarchy into it. The
object will appear in the wrong place [folder above] & zope will deny it
exists if I try to access it until I restart zope. Temporary solution is to
restart zope with  SUPPRESS_SITEROOT & make the changes. This breaks my
production site and so isn't ideal. My long term hack will probably to
maintain a mirrored readonly site which I switch to whilst I update the main
site so access isn't disrupted. There's so much path jiggerypokery going on
with SiteAccess/SiteRoot I don't expect a clean solution!

2. Can't do anything with my ZClasses. I've tried applying the reindex patch I
found somewhere. I think my problems might be to do with the fact that I have
catalogaware zclasses that inherit from catalogaware base classes and
something isn't quite working there.

All my problems are consistent (always happen!) & I'm running latest of
everything: Zope 2.2.4 & apache 1.3.14,
