Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried that unsuccessfully
Really? I wasn't aware that zopectl had the power to override z2.py. Hmm. Another thing to try with your zopectl is to look for the BASE_PORT argument... perhaps you're using both it and WEB_PORT.
, but I was trying to redirect to the privileged port 80
Same process, whatever that turns out to be. :-)
- which Jamie Heilman has told me will not work unless I run Zope as root.
That's close: to bind to 80 you need to *start* Zope as root. You need to *run* Zope as some non-root user regardless. This is covered in the docs included with your installation. And if I know Jamie at all, he was offering this observation as a reason *not* to run Zope on 80, which is a bad idea for a number of reasons. Pretty much everyone who runs anything serious with Zope puts it behind Apache, squid or (*ahem*) IIS.
This had worked when I had earlier installed the Linux version of Zope linked to at Zope.org.
That's still an option, of course. The trade-off with using packages is you accept the choices made by the package maintainers. If you don't like those choices, you're probably better off rolling your own.

Me too. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but one of these days, I'm planning on getting a PDX-area Zope user group together. Dylan
