[Zope] Apache with Zope and mod_pcgi2 handling a whole site

[Oleg Broytmann]

Hello, mod_pcgi2 users.

   Most of you know already that my module has a problem being installed
onto root location. Some sressed that even installing it onto locations
started with common prefix (<Location /a/b> and <Location /a/c>, e.g.) lead
to a problem. I think these are the same problem, actually - it is just that
root is common prefix for all locations.
   I am not sure where is the bug - in my module or in Apache. May be I am
doing something wrong, but I don't know what is wrong and how to fix it.

   Well, a user of the module prepare some information and workaraound.
Thanks, Thomas! But the actual workaround looks very suspicious to me.
Anyone who want to resolve the problem - please look into it; we'll discuss
the problem and the slutions here...

Subject: Apache with Zope and mod_pcgi2 handling a whole site

Hi Oleg Broytmann,

I have had some trouble figuring out how to server a whole site with
Apache/mod_pcgi2/Zope.
I think this is the same problem you described as open in your mail
below.
If it is still open I think I have a workaround (involving the patching
of Zope's ZServer/PCGIServer.py, though...) and a description of the
problems at 
http://www.zope.org/Members/viehmann/zope_mod_pcgi2_apache_trouble

I have not submitted this as a bug or for review for a tip yet as I am
not sure whether this solution is acceptable.

Greetings

Thomas

   I already got few bug reports about this. I suspect it is a problem
with
Apache. When installing the handler onto / location Apache passes wrong
PATH_INFO to my module.
   Currently the only way to overcome is to use non-/ location...
