Hi; I d/l'd the latest distro. Looked inside and couldn't find any installation instructions. Went to the Web site and found some instructions here: http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO They didn't work for me. I have crazy ownership problems all over the place. If I go into /usr/local/ I have to be root (I own the server), and the author indicates that I should be my regular user (webmaster) not root. No can do (security reasons). I unpacked the distro and had a bunch of files with user permissions for one of my clients! Not even webmaster! What gives? (I'm still new to Linux/UNIX.) Then I tried to do the ./install and was told there's no such directory (I *do* have ZServer, lib, doc, pcgi, and z2.py). Please help. Distributing installation instructions with the distro might be a nice thought... BenO

It seems you've problems with searching. There are a lot of information in distro - in directory doc. There are INSTALL.txt, WEBSERVER.txt, etc. Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
Forgive my stupidity, but I've looked all over and don't see a directory.doc, install.txt or webserver.txt I went to this page http://www.zope.org/Products and d/l'd the latest distro, which I believe was Zope-2.2.x-to-2.2.2-src.tgz I opened it up with WinZip and the aforementioned files are nowhere to be found. I ftp'd it to my server and gunzipped and untarred but no ./install file. What am I doing wrong? TIA, BenO At 05:24 PM 11/15/2000 +0300, you wrote:

It's not a distro - it's a patch to upgarde to 2.2.2. Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
You downloaded the update... you need the full source version, available at http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.2.2/Zope-2.2.2-src.tgz/view ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Ocean" <lists@TheWebsons.com> To: <phd@mail2.phd.pp.ru> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 9:51 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] Installation Troubles

Hi Ben (I wrote that howto).
I d/l'd the latest distro. Looked inside and couldn't find any installation instructions. Went to the Web site and found some instructions here: http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO They didn't work for me. I have crazy ownership problems all over the place. If I go into /usr/local/ I have to be root (I own the server), and the author indicates that I should be my regular user (webmaster) not root.
I *think* /usr/local should be readable and writable by your webmaster user. If it's not, you should try to put Zope somewhere else. It really doesn't matter much where it goes... you could even install it in your "webmaster" home directory if you wanted to.
No can do (security reasons). I unpacked the distro and had a bunch of files with user permissions for one of my clients! Not even webmaster! What gives? (I'm still new to Linux/UNIX.)
Untarring files keeps the original "uid/gid" (userid/group id) combination if you untar the file as root. This is explained in that howto. The solution is to not untar as root. Please try it again, following all the directions.... it's pretty explicit stuff. If that doesn't work, it's *much* easier to install the Windows version, if that's an option. If not, I (and probably other folks here) will help you work through the Linux install.
Then I tried to do the ./install and was told there's no such directory (I *do* have ZServer, lib, doc, pcgi, and z2.py). Please help. Distributing installation instructions with the distro might be a nice thought... BenO
"install" told you there's no such directory? What directory was it talking about? Or do you mean that it couldn't find "install"? Yes, there's also the file doc/INSTALL.txt that you may want to look at...
