I've just downloaded zope, but seem unable to get it going with my currently installed web server - Jigsaw from www.w3c.org
However, when I try to run it,
http://localhost:8001/zope/zope1.11.0pr1.exe/
I get the following error:
CGI script emited invalid status.
I can't help with this problem. Anyone else ?
I can run it using the packaged python web server.
In the tutorial, when I try to add the date property to the main folder of the demo site, I get the following error:
Zope Error
Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
exceptions.KeyError
Sorry, a Zope error occurred.
It accepts it as a string property.
This is probably a result of the DateTime.py class either not having your timezone setup or it only being setup partially i.e. missing the full timezone name reported by some operating systems. If you run Python standalone and type the following : import time print time.tzname it will report your current timezone. If you cannot get Python to run standalone then use the following as an external method : import time def getTimeZone(): return time.tzname After creating a new external method, use the Try It tab to view the resulting timezone. If you then open the DateTime.py file (found in "[your zope install]\lib\python\DateTime\DateTime.py"), goto the _zmap on line 186 and search for the timezone reported above. If it is not present then add a line similar to the following (which I have added to my DateTime.py): 'AUS Eastern Standard Time':'aest' and the lowercase version 'aus eastern standard time':'aest' where the key is the timezone string reported previously and aest is the abbreviated timezone of your area (the following New Zealand times are defined NZT, NZDT, NZST - if none of these are correct then add one in a similar format to 'nzdt':'GMT+13' where the GMT+13 represents the difference from Greenwich Mean Time in hours). Save the file, shutdown Zope and restart it. This should fix the problem. Robert Leftwich
