I also posted this on the Yahoo groups. Ok this is my problem that I hope that someone out there can help with. I have been using zope for about six mouth to do various things for my work. We recently got a new server that is based away for our company and it runs Debian Linux. I had used apt-get to install a zope insallation on the new server and it had worked fine. However, my boss told me that I needed Zope 2.6.1 in order to transfer the site that we have on the intranet Zope site. So I used apt-get to uninstall the Zope that it had installed and used it again to install the 2.6.1. NB I believe that apt-get had installed Zope 2.6.1 the first time around but I did not really check. Anyways on the second instal of Zope 2.6.1 Zope doesn't start it gives the following error: zopectl: E: cannot find configuration file: /etc/zope/zopectlrc I know that the first time I installed the Zope using apt-get the file was there cause I had actually seen it is /etc/zope because I had to run zopectl create to create the INSTANCE_HOME in that file and then zopectl start in order to start Zope. NOw (after the second install) when I run zopectl create I get the same error message as above. The thing is I know that if I get a copy of the zopectlrc file I can edit it to suit my installation and make the zope run but I can't find a copy of this file on the net anywhere. I am asking if possible if some one can post a copy of the file or suggest a way around this problem if possible tanx...
