Hi Zopies! I am confronted with a sudden prob at startup, when I doubleclick on the start.bat it produces an output in the DOS-window, but it closes down after a few milliseconds, so I couldn't read the msgs. I did in the DOS-mode: WEBSITEDIR\start.bat > test and so I can tell you now about the msgs, I hope you can help..! -------------

File C:\Programme\website\lib\python\Shared\DC\xml\ppml.py, line 299 self.append(String(eval(self.r deine()[:-1],

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Looks like the ppml.py file has become corrupt one way or another. Try to replace it with the one that came with your version of Zope. You can for example install the same version in another directory, and copy over the py file to your old installation.

... Thanks a lot!! It's working again. But a funny thing happened: I just fixed the prob now here in early morning: - I switched on the monitor, checked my emails, read your advice and happily started to work.... - (You have to know that I have two PCs here, the one I mostly work at (Linux) and the older one (w2k), and the prob occured on the later one (w2k).) But I started to do the new installation here on Linux, where actually no prob was... ;-o But... it's ok, no worries about. I try the new installation, it might be better, it doesn't run under root, let's see... So let me say thanks again, have a nice day, Florian P.S: I replied additionally to the list to inform the others, that the prob is solved. Is this ok? Is it common practice?
