Hi Alfred, there are a few things you might want to check. First of all, check if the service itself is running. You can do this using the services control panel (for Windows NT4), or you can use computer management (Windows 2000). If it's not running, start it from there and try again. If it is running, check if you have two processes running in Task Manager, one should be called python.exe and the other one should be PythonService.exe. If one of them is missing, try to stop and start the service or go on to the next step. If all that doesn't give you any results, then stop the Zope service if it was running, open a command prompt and navigate to your Zope directory. There is a batch file in there called start.bat. Run that in the command prompt you just opened, and look it says something like: D:\Zope_PieterWeb>start.bat D:\Zope_PieterWeb>"d:\Zope_PieterWeb\bin\python.exe" "d:\Zope_PieterWeb\z2.py" -D ------ 2001-11-21T16:17:19 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Wed Nov 21 17:17:19 2001 Hostname: PClaerho Port: 8080 ------ 2001-11-21T16:17:19 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Wed Nov 21 17:17:19 2001 Hostname: PClaerho Port: 8021 ------ 2001-11-21T16:17:19 INFO(0) ZServer PCGI Server started at Wed Nov 21 17:17:19 2001 Inet socket port: 8090 It should come up with no errors. If that is working fine, you can try again to connect with your webbrowser. If that worked fine, kill the dos box and try to start the service again. A lot of chance that it will work. I saw this happening already a bunch of times on my machines that starting it using the service didn't work first, but that after running it using the batch script, starting the service worked just fine. The reason I suggest to open a command prompt first, and run the script from there, it that it at least stays open when an error occurs... Good luck, Pieter -----Original Message----- From: Schallert Alfred [mailto:Alfred.Schallert@pfleiderer.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 10:02 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Help for Installation Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm new to the Zope comunity and I would like to introduce myself shortly: My name is Alfred Schallert and I'm responsible for strategic issues of e-business in a german Construction supply comany. In this function I wanted to test ZOPE to see if the functionality is suitable for our needs. I installed the software Zope-2.4.3-win32-x86.exe, using the built in webserver as a Win NT service The software prompted me to start ZOPE with tying http://localhost:8080/manage. Even after rebooting my machine a couple of times, I'm still not able to start ZOPE. IE 5.5 is still saying it can not find the page... If there is anybody who can help I would highly appreciate any hints. Please reply to this e-mail adress. Thanks to everybody.
