Hi I wonder if anybody could tell me what I am doing wrong. I installed zope 2.8, and plone 2.1 via synaptic. I also installed plone-site via synaptic. (When I installed this I was promted for a username and password) Now when I access: http://localhost:8081, I get a quickstart screen. When I click on the link to the management interface (http://localhost:8081/manage) I am promted for user name and password. It does not accept the username and password that I typed when setting up plone-site. I've been googling, and at one place there was an explanation that zope sets up an inituser file with a username and password. I found such a file under /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/ with the following information in it: admin:{SHA}JPpU/BsXGIcv7LQrwgMiOS25PB4= I've tried to use this in various ways: username: admin password: {SHA}JPpU/BsXGIcv7LQrwgMiOS25PB4= or username: {SHA}JPpU password: BsXGIcv7LQrwgMiOS25PB4= That did not work. I tried to create a new inituser account using the following command weiers@weiers:/usr/lib/zope2.8/bin$ sudo python zpasswd.py inituser and then got the following feedback: The programme asked me for a username and a password, to repeat the password. I also selected SHA as a mode of encrypting the password, and left the domain restrictions blank. Unfortunately when I try to connect to (http://localhost:8081/manage), I still get the same problem. It won't accept my password. I tried to look for other inituser files on my computer, but I do not see any. ----> I am really stuck. I don't know how to get plone or zope to work on my computer. Please help. If you help me, I promise that I will write the details into a wiki somewhere. Thanks Weiers
