[Zope] rewrite and access

[Chris McDonough]

Guy,

Sorry about the lack of response.  The list has a lot of volume lately
and its difficult for the community to keep up with everything.

Not being much of a subject matter expert on Zope/Apache integration, I
can only take a stab at helping you with your problem, but here goes:

What does the portion of your httpd.conf that has the lines

<Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin>
.
.
</Directory>

look like?

Here's mine:

<Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin">
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Does yours look similar?  Notably, do you have the ExecCGI option on the
Options line?
