I managed to get Zope working again on different machine than the one I was experiencing difficulties with (still experiencing, actually), and proved to myself that the database does in fact work. On the assumption that it's something in a botched install or registry entry, I'm planning to completely scrub zope from the server, and reinstall. That in mind, what sections of the registry and file system do I need to go through. I'm aware of HKML/.../Services/<Zope>, but don't know if that's sufficient: I've tried straight uninstall/reinstall and the problem persisted. My goals: reinstall zope, re-import the VHOSTS folder and recreate the access rule, move zope to port 80 (existing IIS website on 80 to move to 8080). I'd prefer ZOPE as a service, but things aren't looking pretty for it so far, since it automatically tries installing as 8080 and my attempts to change the port have not worked well. ... Advice? Keith
