Glad to hear I can do a lot without coding in Python. However I am still lost.
Bear with us - it's fiddly (Under Win98), but you'll get there...
Url's did not work for me. I am running windows 98.
Zope Website folder? Is that a folder on the Zope web site or a folder titled website in what I dowloaded? If the latter I cannot find it.
By default c:\program files\website - the folder you installed your Zope software to.
Zope runs as a service?? You mean Zope becomes my ISP? Or something like that?
No - under Windows NT/2K programs that run effectively as part of the system (e.g. are always there in the background) are called services. Under Windows 98 the Zope /server/ runs as a program in a DOS box, with only scrolling system messages being displyed (I think - don't use 98!). You need to understand that Zope is both a web and an application server. The "user interface" for the software is effectively a website runing locally. In other words, Zope is a server, your web browser is a client - but both are running on your machine.
Still lost, but encouraged to hear that it is easier than Python. I am getting somewhere with Python, slowly. So I guess I might somewhere with Zope not so slowly. If only I can install it and find the start button. :)
I see you have posted some more messages. I'll keep plugging away! Regards, PhilK
