Hello, if there is a Zope forum please point me to it and I will post this question there instead of bothering you with it. My question is - I downloaded the linux full version of Zope. It downloads with a .tar extension but when I called it from Telnet I received the following error message: tar -xf Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tar This does not look like a tar file Skipping to next header 331 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive Error exit delayed from previous errors Is this a download problem as I did notice that downloading from Zope.org is very time-consuming whereas I have a cable connection and anywhere else it takes a matter of seconds. I've redownloaded it three times and even tried other packages but the same basic errors comes up each time. Can you shed some light on this or point me to your forum so that I may enlist the help of other users? Thank you, Jason Edwards

What does the command: file Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tar say that the file is? -- Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

My question is - I downloaded the linux full version of Zope. It downloads with a .tar extension but when I called it from Telnet I received the following error message:
tar -xf Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tar
It's a gzipped tar file. Try: tar xvfz Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tar
For windows users who have the same problems, append the extension with .gz and re-unzip and it will recognize. Is there a reason why this happens so often? I envcounter this about 40% of the time when downlading products, updates, etc...

Some servers think that they are able to translate some file types. Some browsers also think they know how to do this. It may be some kind of combination between this that causes this problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Zwarts" <paz@oratrix.com> To: "'Lennart Regebro'" <lennart@torped.se> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:04 AM Subject: RE: [Zope] quick question

The tarball you downloaded is probably not a tar file (extension .tar) but a gzipped tar file (extension .tgz). Check this with file Zope... If it's a tgz file you need to unpack it tar xzvf Zope.... One other thing to watch--some older ftp systems default to ASCII mode and munge the file in transit. To be safe, always specify 'bin' explicitly.
