I've been running Zope on my Win98 box just to try it out initially (less setup involved), but now I'm trying to install it on my Linux machine for better stability etc. I've successfully installed it, and it runs fine* when I start it manually, but I cannot get it to start on bootup: I've set up a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and a link to it in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ (which is the correct runlevel), but although on bootup it says "Starting Zope.... [ OK ]", Zope actually doesn't launch.

You should use Python-2.1.3 with ZOPE2.6!!! Download and install it from python.org. You have to set the -u flag if you start Zope at boot-time, because Zope doesn't like to be a root-process...;-) pleae read z2.py and doc/SETUID.txt for more infos on that. best practice: create a new user called 'zope' on your machine. set the right ownerships / permissions in the Zope-Installation-Directories and then start Zope with -u zope from your init-script. -mj -- German Zope User Group http://www.dzug.org/
