I'm starting to play with zope and I'm running into problems when installing "products." More specifically I'm trying to install Squishdot following the instructions in the distribution. Basically, I untar the files under zope root's directory (/var/lib/zope in Debian GNU/Linux which is the platform I use) and then I restart the server. I'm supposed to see the products right there or under "Product Management" but I see nothing.
I managed to install ZPhotoAlbum because it comes with a .zexp file that allowed me to import the product into zope (I copied this file to /var/lib/zope/imports). But Squishdot doesn't have this.
You should untar it into /usr/lib/zope/ on Debian.
If you are running Potato (or Woody) versions of Debian than you can install Squishdot by typing (as root): apt-get install squishdot Which will install not only Squishdot (version 0.3.2), but TinyTable as well. There is also How-To on how to create Debian Packages from Zope Products where you can get more Zope Products in .deb format: http://www.zope.org/Members/vernier/debian -- Kevin Teague iBuilder http://www.stormix.com
