I read all the documentation I could find and followed it to the word. I believe other factors came into play which resulted in a non-working installation. Not having a more holistic overview of system means that I easily get lost when something unexpected happens. This is why I'm consulting the mailing list for assistance. -----Original Message----- From: KE Liew [mailto:ke.liew@gmail.com] Sent: 06 July 2006 23:46 To: russ Cc: replies-lists-zope@listmail.innovate.net; zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope installation woes no offense, but you should really listen to those advice given. it'll take you lesser time to get a working web application than to do it "on the job" as you said. i hope you do realise that on-the-job could also mean researching and studying the work at hand before actually being more productive. you didn't read the docs properly to get zope running, IMHO. if you wanna get zope+cmf running well and to what you want, start reading and learn.

o.k. when running that I saw this:

unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 546729 15600/python /home/zope/instance/var/zopectlsock.15599

Does this mean it's running?

if your zope instance does not show in the output from:

netstat -ap | grep LISTEN

(issued as root)

then there's no sense in trying to figure out how to telnet to localhost 8080 (or whatever port your zope is running on) as there's nothing listening for the inbound connection. i.e., until your zope instance is running correctly so shows up in the netstat output, trying to connect inbound to it will fail and prove nothing.

[there are a variety of things that can cause an inbound connection to a service to fail. you need to take the debugging one step at a time, starting with confirming that there's actually a service running.]

What does it mean if this is listed under ps -eLf:

zope 15601 15600 15601 0 1 Jul05 ? 00:00:05 /usr/bin/python /usr/

...but isn't anywhere to be seen under netstat -p ?

& how do I telnet to port 8080 *on* the same machine?

Sorry :S

use the "ps" command to see that that process is still running. also use the "netstat" command (with the -p flag (as root)) to see/confirm what port zope is listening on.

if it's running, on port 8080, then try to telnet to port 8080, both as "localhost 8080" and "hostname 8080" (both from the server itself). if both of those work, then telnet to "hostname 8080" from a "remote" machine (e.g., the desktop machine you've been using your browser from). if the telnets from the server work, but the telnet from the "remote" host doesn't, then your issue is likely to be a firewall.

Well I've tried to follow your steps with the exception of point 15 (mkzopeinstance.py doesn't reside in my python directory, it's in the zope/bin folder). At the last stage I hit enter and got:

bash-3.00$ ./zopectl start . daemon process started, pid=15601

Aaaaand now what? http://www.domain.tld:8080 still produces nothing.

:(
