Hello Members,
i m installing zope2.7.0 on red hat linux advance server 3.0
why are you installing such an old version of zope?
....n m trying 2 create a new zope instance..but the problem is that there is no /bin directory created in my zope_home folder( which is zope-2.7.0) though all other
doc ,import,lib, skel,Zserver,utilites,import, test.py,setup,py,sbin etc....have been created
is sbin similar to bin??
have you looked to see what is in it? :-) Are you installing from RPM or something? Of those, only "import" is normally created in a Zope instance home... I have generally avoided the zope packages provided by linux distributions, because: * they are usually way behind the current stable release. (2.7.6, or 2.8.0 if you are comfortable with a dot-zero release). Which is fine for playing around, but sooner or later you will have a need to upgrade to a version not supported by the distribution. E.g. you may find that you *need* one of the several dozen, if not hundred, bugfixes and/or new features they haven't picked up yet. * When you have installation problems, zope people on this list will have no idea what the hell you're talking about :-) * Installing zope from source on linux is trivial, and well-documented (e.g. in the online Zope Book at www.plope.com ).
m unable to execute the command......../bin/mkzopeinstance.py it says no such file or directory
from where shld i run /mkzopeinstance.py???
m completely new to zope...
sounds like you are pretty new to linux/unix too. Try one of the standard ways of finding stuff on linux, such as: locate mkzopeinstance.py That should tell you where it is. If you are installing from RPM, there should be documentation (maybe in /usr/share/doc ) explaining everything about where redhat puts stuff, since they apparently do it weird. If there is not, either complain to redhat, or install from source instead. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
