Hello,
following doc/INSTALL.txt (the quick start) the first command finishes with "Done." which seems to hint at success. However, the INSTALL description says that I will be given a user name and password. This is not the case, nor can I find any point where the procedure is unhappy.
Bravely executing the second command ( ./start ) results in a somehow running zope which of course I can not log in. Furthermore, ./start does not return.
Environment: Mandrake 6.1, Roxen
The fact that the start command doesn't return, is because that file by default uses the -D switch of Zope, which stands for Debug. One side effect is that it stays attached to the terminal. Edit start and remove the -D and it will be more daemonic. What command did you run? I find it strange no password was communicated. Maybe you should scroll back a bit. The password is stored in a file called 'access', in the Zope root. You can generate a new access file with the following command, issued in the Zope root dir: /path/to/python zpasswd.py access It will prompt you for a username, password, encryption method and optional domain specification (which is a space separated list of ip address and ip numbers with ot without wildcards). If you use zpasswd.py without any arguments, you'll get a help message: /path/to/python zpasswd.py -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
