[Zope] Zope with Apache

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi James,

   Are you using SiteAccess? If not.. it would probably be worth a try.
It will take care of setting BASE0 etc to soemthing intelligent.

    James> <a href="http://foo.bar.com/Zope/Foo/manage_workspace>

    James> "foo.bar.com:8080/Zope" because it doesn't know any better.
    James> I've managed to get around the problem by changing some
