Using Zope 2.5/Debian Placed uncompressed ExternalEditor (ExternalEditor-0.3.tgz) in Products dir. Restarted the ZServer and lost the presentation layer in ZMI of my root site. Removed ExternalEditor and could not start ZServer. Had to bring back my entire ZOPE_HOME dir from tape. Be warned to try on test site before Production implementation. Can't give specifics since I had not time to disect issue.

This sounds like it might be a permission problem, but...

...this doesn't. Nevertheless, did you make sure the uncompressed ExternalEditor directories and files were readable by the Zope process? Cheers, Evan @ 4-am

What happened when you restarted? This is quite strange since the product makes no changes to the ZODB or your Zope install.

I'm sorry to hear you had this problem. Any chance you could make a copy of your Zope install and try it again? I'm curious to see if this is reproducable and if so where the cause lies. I'm relatively sure that there is no way this could happen in a stock Zope install. Perhaps there is some bizaar incompatibility between ExternalEditor and some other product you have installed?

Given how young this software is, that is good advice 8^) -Casey
