OK, thanks for all the quick replies. Here is more info: - I'm aware of the python 1.5.2 requirement...I've downloaded python 1.5.2 for both linux and win32 from python.org, and installed it on both platforms prior to downloading Zope..AFAIK, python is working correctly on both platforms - The zope I've downloaded is the latest (well, in the case of linux, it might have been beta4 or beta5...for Win32, it was released Aug 19...I downloaded it last Saturday) - I've tried Zope with Apache on linux, but had problems with the mod_rewrite changes (the more complex apache config issues are not my best point). So I tried the ZServer on linux...nothing on port 8080. - On Win32, I run start.bat, the hourglass turns to a hand, and there is nothing on port 8080 or port 9763 (or port 9673, whichever one the docs say is correct). I modified start.bat to use the python that I installed previously, no change. The install docs say to look for a file called "SITENAME.exe" after a successful Win32 install of Zope...there is no such file anywhere on the system - I will gladly volunteer to write docs for Zope...I do not expect everything for free (which is why I tried everything on my own before coming to the list...I prefer to solve things myself) and I do not expect perfect support or perfect docs from the makers of Zope...I *do* expect to be able to get it installed, considering my experience level. If I can get this working, on either the linux or Win32 systems, I will gladly document the steps I had to take...so far, following the install docs hasn't gotten me anywhere. Thanks again for the quick replies and the help. - John On Wed, 1 Sep 1999, Martijn Pieters wrote:

What version of Zope where you using?
On Linux, Zope2 should run without any problems if you have python 1.5.2 installed with threads enabled:
unzip/untar source package into dir python wo_pcgi.py
and the ./start should start ZServer in debug mode, and you can go to localhost:8080 and see Zope.
On Win98/WinNT, just installing (it comes with its own python, even when you already have a version installed, just to make sure you have the right version), just run start.bat. It doesn't say anything, but when the timer turns into a hand, you can reach localhost:8080 again.
Please let us know what problems you run into, what error messages you get, Zope versio, etc.
