Howdy all, I am new to Zope and python. I have configured a zope server and created a rudimentary site as a learning tool (see my sig). I have three concerns atm. 1. I find navigating the docs on zope.org an exercise in frustration. Can somebody point me to the reference that outlines what each of the default installations permissions mean? Like a glossary of terms .. something like "access transient objects means blah" as well as general settings recommendations. 2. Many of the examples I find in the docs just don't work. For instance, adding a zclass. Following the directions yields results nothing like those described in the docs. Is this a version problem? Python problem? Platform problem (development on XP, [live site is on debian, but no exports from one to the other has occurred yet because I have as yet to get windows ver working right it seems]). Following the advice of a local Zope guru, I downgraded my activestate python 2.2 to a vanilla python 2.1.3, and moved the zopesite from Program Files to the %systemroot% using windows uninstall and then reinstalling. Now zope refuses to start as a service and it seems to want to compile its modules against the python installation instead of its own native python (windows zope binary install). I also have three dead zope instances in my services tab in windows that I desperately want to get rid of as they refuse to go away. Silly me forgot to do a restore point before installing zope so stepping back is not an option. How can I uninstall python and zope completely from my system as if it wasn't there? Then for a winXP Pro SP1 box what is the recommended versions for stable and useful zope self-instruction. As far as Zope itself goes, I am in love with it. It is a brilliant concept that I can not wait to deploy.
