Jonathan ~ I didn't have any version of Python installed! I was wondering about Python. But since nothing I saw in the installation sequence or the Zope Book said otherwise, I figured maybe it was built into the Zope package. I guess no one who wrote this stuff ever guessed that anyone would not know something so "obvious". So. 1. I installed Python 2.3.5 (again matching the version on my target server), tried to start the previously installed Zope. and got the same error again. 2. I uninstalled and reinstalled Zope 2.8.8, and tried to start it and run the ZMI. Same error (see attachment 02 for the command line results and 03 for the ZMI error). I have tried to do everything in a very standard way, and my whole system is fairly new, so less likely than some to be contaminated by history. Any other suggestions? ~ Thanks ~ Ken -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan [mailto:dev101@magma.ca] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 2:50 PM To: Ken Winter; Zope List Subject: Re: [Zope] FW: Problem Starting Zope after Installation What version of python are you running?

I can't get it to start - see the attached screen shot for the failure messages. ~ TIA ~ Ken _____ _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
