[Zope] authentication & mod_rewrite troubles

[Peter Sabaini]

i think you need to set permissions to execute cgis within that
section, ie. put

Options ExecCGI

into your <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> section

:again Im not sure what the 'force filename' bit mean and whether
:"setting env variable 'HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION' to '' "
:looks right?
:
:Now I just get "You don't have permission to access /Zope/home on this server." no login prompts start screens or anything.
:
:Is there anyway of debugging the interaction between Zope and Apache rewrite?
:
:Thanks
