FWIW, the Zope 2.7 RPMs that were just uploaded to Zope.org today as part of the 2.7b2 release take the approach of not creating an initial user. Instead, if you visit the quickstart page (by visiting the freshly installed Zope in a browser) and the system has no users installed, it will give you instructions about how to install one. The only thing that remains to be told to the user is the port number that Zope's running on. Haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. ;-) It would be nice if someone (Marcus, maybe?) were to "translate" the currently RedHat-centric 2.7 RPM spec file into something that worked equally under SuSE. Then maybe we can contribute the resulting spec files/SRPMs to SuSE and RedHat respectively for consideration in their distributions for the future. - C On Tue, 2003-08-26 at 21:22, Jerry Westrick wrote:
Dear SuSE users...
please look at the /usr/share/doc/packages/readme.suse this is the place where the SuSE packagers place comments on the way the've configured software for you....
The user name and password are listed there, along with the instructions to change it as soon as posible!

P.S. It's always a good idea to check the /usr/share/doc/packages/xxx dirs for a readme.suse file... (as noted in the description of the package when you loaded it with YAST2!)

Hi Paul,
I have set up 3 Suse 8.0 machines with Zope. One at my office and 2 at home (Sad, I know). Two of them I managed to connect straight to by setting up a new password with the zpasswd.py script in /opt/zope/utilities on Suse. The 3rd installation was a real bind. Nothing I did seemed to cure it. My final solution was to download the latest stable version of Zope, remove the original zope package with yast and reinstall the downloaded version.
The installation was dead easy. As part of the process, Zope provides the admin user and passwd. Not an ideal solution.....but it was driving me up the wall and there did not seem to be many answers anywhere, just users with the same question!
One positive side to this is that I have a machine at home running the most up-to-date version :-) Downside is that I lost the ability to "rczope start". Not a big problem as there is a start script in the Zope directory. If I ever get round to it, I will copy the rczope script from one of my other machines.
Hope this helps.

I've got Zope running but when I go to localhost:8080/manage I get a dialogbox wanting a user name and password. I didn't know what it was wanting so I created an "access" file using zpasswd.py but apparently it doesn't see this file because when I enter the user name and password that I put in the access file zope just regenerates the prompt dialogbox.
I have made sure that I enter username/password exactly as found in the access file, I've tried copying th access file into the zope directory, that had no positive effect so I copied it into the zserver directory and that had no positive effect either.
Could some kind soul please tell me how to get into Zope?
Thanks for any help that might be offered.
Paul
