and so it starts... I'm determined to learn zope for my next project and can't even get past the tutorial. Using zope v.2.16 on windows. I get to the part where I create the 1st DTML method (index_html) and zope reports an error: Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: the id index_html is invalid - it is already in use. This is in a virtually empty system. I suspect that the problem is in initializing the tuturial. I suspect further that the tutorial text and graphic figures don't jibe. The beginning of the tutorial says to create the ZAcme folder under my root installation. I take this to mean at the main manage entry point, rather than my literal root directory (as it says further down the page). When I do this, the ZAcme folder shows up in the workspace but the illustrations don't show this. I continue along and end up getting the above error. I also tried manually creating folders in my actual root directory (C:\) and in the zope directory (C:\Program Files\ZAcme) and I get the above error every time. Help! TIA Rob
