A newbie problem here. I can't seem to login to Zope no matter what I try.

- I've installed Zope 2.3.0-1 and ZServer 2.3.0-1 from rpm's accessible from the Zope.org site on a RH 7.0 machine. - I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start and it starts fine.

Personally, I never install Zope from a package. I use the source install. So long as you have Python and python-devel RPMs installed, it's just a matter of untaring the tarball, cd into the directory, and type "python wo_pcgi.py". That's it. It will churn away for a couple of minutes (depends on your computers speed) and then present you with a username/password, and some simple instructions (like "run start" ).

- I open Mozilla to :8080 and the Zope start screen displays. - Tried pointing the browser to :8080/manage and it asks for username/passwd. - I supply admin and 123 and no go. No error message just keeps asking for the password again. - Cruise the docs and mail list archives.

Where did you get this name/password from?

- Run python zpasswd.py inituser and reset the password. (This was suggested on the mail lists - I couldn't find it in the docs.) - Verify that the inituser file was changed. - Close all browser windows. - Run /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope restart. - Open browser and try to log in again. - Same response. - Try running python zpasswd.py access. - Close browsers/restart zope/open browsers - same response - no error messages - just doesn't like the usernames and passwords I'm providing. - Thought maybe it was a 'Mozilla thang'. Tried Netscape. Same response.

You should have tried stopping zope, then updating the password file, then starting zope. Just in case.

This is pathetic. I've got 6-7 hours into this just trying to get the management interface up!!!

Can anyone point me to how to get this thing running?
