[Zope] Problems logging into Zope

[Dylan Reinhardt]

It looks like you've solved your problem... but you should be aware that
both pcgi and Python 2.2 are non-standard for that version of Zope. 
Python 2.1.3 is the officially recommended/supported version of Python
and it's far more common nowadays to build Zope against wo_pcgi.

That's not to say they don't work (obviously they're working now), but
you should be sure to bring both those things up if you have issues in
the future.  

FWIW,

Dylan
