and so it starts...
I'm determined to learn zope for my next project and can't even get past the tutorial.
Using zope v.2.16 on windows.
I get to the part where I create the 1st DTML method (index_html) and zope reports an error:
Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: the id index_html is invalid - it is already in use.
This is in a virtually empty system. I suspect that the problem is in initializing the tuturial. I suspect further that the tutorial text and graphic figures don't jibe.
Rob, there is already an index_html object in the folder. You can just edit this, I suspect.
The beginning of the tutorial says to create the ZAcme folder under my root installation. I take this to mean at the main manage entry point, rather than my literal root directory (as it says further down the page). When I do this, the ZAcme folder shows up in the workspace but the illustrations don't show this. I continue along and end up getting the above error.
Yes, it does mean the root directory of your zope folder. When you create a new folder, it has two checkboxes. one of them asks whether you want to create a public interface: This is index_html. Then you go into the directory and edit the index_html as the tutorial suggests.
I also tried manually creating folders in my actual root directory (C:\) and in the zope directory (C:\Program Files\ZAcme) and I get the above error every time.
None of the files inside zope are in your "Real" directories: they're all in one file called Data.fs , which, if your zope is at ZAcme, may be found at ZAcme\Data.fs . Hope this helps, ~ ethan mindlace fremen Zopatista Community Liason
