I'm running Debian sarge and I've just installed zope and plone, but I can't seam to login to the zope management area.
zope is running, I can see it at http://localhost:9673/ but I can login using 'cmsuser' and 'password'
I've used zope-zpasswd -u james -p password /var/lib/zope/access to set up another user and then restarted zope but I still can't login.
Can any one tell me what I'm doing wrong and where I can find some debian specific instructions.
A few things to know: - 'inituser' (for initial user creation) and 'access' (for emergency user) must be in your INSTANCE_HOME if you're running like that, or in the root of your zope install otherwise - they must be readable by the system user running Zope - 'inituser' is only used when creating a new Data.fs, so delete the existing one to use this - 'access' only creates an emergency user, and if you get access that way you will need to use it to create a new manager that you can actually use later - read doc/SECURITY.TXT My usual sequence if I lose a password on a new install is like this: go to zope install directory 'python zpasswd.py inituser' follow the prompts if I'm doing INSTANCE_HOME, go there and move 'inituser' over remove existing Data.fs start Zope open browser to 'localhost:8080/manage' and login Debian apparently uses a different port (which shouldn't matter) and changes the name of the script (which also shouldn't matter.) I don't know what else is different, but many people report problems with the Debian Zope package. It may be easier to install it regularly. --jcc -- "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.
