Hi, I'm running a Linux Slackware 7.1 box over SSH. I'm trying to get Zope 2.5.0 and CMF 1.2 installed so I can play physician beta-tester for Jon Edward's medzope project. Over the last week in my copious free time I have tried: a) the default binary (Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tgz) b) downloading the source, compiling, and installing the source c) even downloaded and compiled Python 2.1.2 Whichever way I slice it, I can get Zope to run, but the startup script fails to complete, thus:

OK chown'd /Zope/var to nobody, and this fixed the problem. But then got this:

and no return to root prompt. However, can now get the Zope management screen via the browser, which is something. Let's face it, I'm going to have to follow the Zope-Install-HOWTO to the letter. So I did... Then this...

At either point, if I then switch to my browser and enter http://carnall:8080/manage I can access the management screen OK **as long as I keep the SSH window** which I started Zope with up. However, I then see this message via my terminal:
------ 2002-02-08T10:23:12 INFO(0) ZODB conflict error at /manage_main (1 conflicts since startup at 2002-02-08T10:19:54)
Zope seems to be working OK, but presumably the script should finish and Zope becomes a background process? Have I ballsed up the permissions somewhere along the line? I can't find much on Slackware and Zope: maybe there's a configuration problem? What distro do most Zope people standardise on anyway? Any thoughts on this problem would be most appreciated: I'd like to have a nice solid setup before we start testing new products.
