I have a Plone instance named "/Home" -- do you mean that or a
subfolder of it?<br>
<br>
But of course, this killed my entire Plone installation.<br>
<br>
I did as you suggested but (in hindsight stupidly!) did not ensure that
anyone else had permissions to "View" and "Access contents information"
-- so even logged in as a Manager I could not access the "/Home" folder
-- including the Security tab where I would go to fix the problem.
Which seems like a design flaw, but....<br>
<br>
Fortunately, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/SECURITY.txt/view">http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/SECURITY.txt/view</a>
explains about using the emergency user via "zpasswd.py" script, so I
fixed things but not until after a good bit of elevated blood pressure
and a lot of profanity.<br>
<br>
But this brings me to an issue I found weeks ago. Whilst trying to
restrict access, I find that with an non-manager user:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://myhost.com:8080/Home/">http://myhost.com:8080/Home/</a> --- shows the root Plone page just as
desired<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://myhost.com:8080/Home">http://myhost.com:8080/Home</a> --- shows an "insufficient privileges"
page (note the lack of a trailing slash).<br>
<br>
Any one have ideas why this is, or how to fix this?<br>
<br>
