1c) Zope runs as a service, shut down before any of the following steps.
Ouch. Don't do this unless you _really_ have to. Running as a service sucks in so many special ways :-S
4) I open a command prompt and type: C:\Program Files\Zope>bin\python.exe lib/python/ZEO/start.py -p 8800 (there is no display of status, but I don't get the cursor back. Is it running?)
Probably. Set a STUPID_LOG_FILE at check what ends up in there. You should get some messages saying that ZEO is serving a storage on a port.
5) I open another command prompt and type: C:\Program Files\Zope>bin\python.exe lib/python/ZEO/start.py -p 8800 I get a Win32 error/stop dialog with the following error. "This application has failed to start because tk83.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
Uninstall Pythonwin for bnow and see if this goes away. Also, try the following as it has the correct slashes: C:\Program Files\Zope>bin\python.exe lib\python\ZEO\start.py -p 8800 BTW, why are you trying to start two storage servers? You want one storage server and one or more clients...
6) In a browser, the ZMI doesn't respond: http://localhost:8080/manage
Funny that ;-) cheers, Chris PS: Where did you put your custom_zodb.yp file? PPS: Look at using INSTANCE_HOME's, the fact that you're not may be what's fouling you up...
