Norm, Calm down, take a deep breath, right that's better. The behaviour you see is again quite normal. The decision has been made that the superuser cannot own anything, apart from user objects and user folder type objects. So the first thing you need to do is to create another user that has management rights then use that user for all the tutorial work. This is mentioned in the docs somewhere, but it escapes me at the moment as to where that is. This should be your final major hurdle, and you'll be serving zope pages in no time ;) I would urge you to take a look at the upcoming Zope book, which is available from the front page of Zope.org. hth Phil phil.harris@zope.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norm LaDuke" <nladuke@farmer.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2000 1:17 AM Subject: [Zope] Running Zope | Can anyone out there tell me why anyone would use a product whose tutorial won't | even run.
