It sounds like the command 'dirname' is not in your path. Type "locate dirname", and see what shows up. If it finds it, put it in your PATH. If it doesn't, find out what operating system it's running on. On redhat systems it should be provided by the sh-utils rpm. -Paul David Kelly wrote:
Hi ... I have installed zope from Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tgz on a virtual server in an ensim webppliance "hosting environment".
Ensim creates a user home directory /home/usr and two other directories /home/usr/mainwebsite_cgi (which is a link to var/www/cgi-bin) and /home/usr/mainwebsite_html (which is a link to var/www/html)
I have not been able to start zope once installed...it doesnt matter where I install I always get the same message:
for example: from an install to a directory in the cgi-bin
bash-2.04$ ./start ./start: dirname: command not found /home/usrname/mainwebsite_cgi/zope25/bin/python: can't open file '/home/usrname/z2.py' bash-2.04$
I get the same can't open file '/home/usrname/z2.py' wherever I install zope to (directly in the home directory, in the cgi-bin, in the usr directory etc).... and I dont have root permission to put the install anywhere else.....in order for it to work the install directory that is created when unpacking the tarball would also have to be called usrname (?)
Can I get ./start to look for z2.py in the directory it installs to? (in the case of the above example it was in /home/usrname/mainwebsite_cgi/zope25)
any help would be gratefully recieved!! regards David
