[Zope] rewrite and access

[Guy Davis]

I am repeating my earlier question as an answer (or lack thereof) will
likely determine whether our development team uses Zope to manage
project documentation.  

I got rid of the rpm's and am now using Zope 2.12.  I can access ZServer
over 8080, I can bring up /cgi-bin/Zope.cgi thru Apache, but mod_rewrite
is not working. 

As soon as I turn rewrite on with the following in httpd.conf:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1   \
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]

All I get is the an access denied error message, and the following in
the error_log:
[Tue Jan  4 17:15:41 2000] [error] [client 128.144.2.51] Options ExecCGI
is off in this directory: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi

I would love to start running through the tutorial etc, but I need
Apache (for SSL) and therefore need this rewriting trick to work. 
Thanks in advance for any help.
