Hello all. I am fairly new to Apache (and Linux for that matter) and am
trying to install Zope to
see what it is all about. I am using Mandrake v7,
and because of the Red Hat heritage, have stuck with the RPM package
installs (just to let you know that I tried to use the RPM whenever
possible to avoid conflicts with the RedHat directory structure.
I am trying to get Zope to cooperate with Apache v1.3.12 and pass
authentication back properly but have not been able to. I have applied
the recommended changes to httpd.conf per the instructions at
http://starship.python.net/crew/jrush/Zope/Zope216.html for Zope
configuration using Apache as listener after installing Zope 2.1.6 RPM
with the Zope-pcgi RPM.

I even downloaded Zap and mimicked it's conf file but that did not solve
the problem. I really want to run Apache, not just Zap, so I can learn it as
well.

Apache is apparently not passing authentication properly. I am at a loss
as to what I should try next. Does anyone have any suggestions? Attached
is the new section of the httpd.conf file (with some commented sections
that did not work...

Zope attempts to load but the login will not authenticate. I have tried
running:

'zpasswd --username=superuser --password=****** --domain=redrock.home.cxm
access'

but no luck completing the authentication.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Donn
