Should work for Debian install's dir strucuture setup, at least it does for me under Debian woody/unstable runing the 2.3.0-4 deb package: /usr/lib/zope/zpasswd.py -u superuser -p [password] /var/lib/zope/access You will need to be root to do this, which the Debian install runs zope under :( Sean -----Original Message----- From: Farrell, Troy [mailto:troy.farrell@wcg.com] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 7:47 AM To: 'basicprinting@earthlink.net'; zope@zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope] Debian zope2.1.6-7 installation, can't login 1st acces s Basic, I am not very familiar with version 2.1.6, so I cannot help you specifically. I can however, recommend that you upgrade to a later Zope version. The latest stable version is 2.3.1 and is available at http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.3.1/ If you move to a newer version and continue to have difficulty, I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot it.
