Where do you click on it?

If you get this URL, then you are looking in fact
at "http://.../Test/abc/index_html" which may be acquired....

To see the content view, you should see the URL

  <http://.../Test/abc/manage> or <http://.../Test/abc/manage_workspace>.

That's normal resolution of relative URL's, explained e.g. in

  <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html>

Depending on where you click...

You should not get the URL given above - as explained above.
If you click on the management interface, the URL's you
see for entering an instance of your product should not
depend on your product at all...
That makes an answer to your problem a bit difficult.
We need more information...
