Hello there
I' ve got some difficulties with the very final step of ZOPE-Installation: I made the start-script as root (-> python wo_pcgi.py) and got all the neccessary scripts. Then I chown and chgrp all files to my ZOPE-user and tried to start up the server. Unfortunately the script has got some endless-loop or so and I have to break (Ctrl-C) in order to get my prompt and logout. I do have access to the server via WWW but only until I break the script.
Do you know some hint? Thank you very much!

If you're using the 'start' script, background it:
$> start &
The ampersand means "background this"
I'm guessing that Steffen is using the "default" start script, which passes the "-D" parameter to Zope -- it is therefore running in "debug mode", and writing error messages to the console. Backgrounding it will work, sort of, but will leave Zope expecting to write to the controlling tty -- if it goes away (i.e., Steffen logs out), then Zope will die hard when trying to write to it. A better fix is to edit the start script and remove the "-D" from the command line. Without the "-D", Zope will daemonize itself, and the backgrounding won't be needed.
