How do I install Products on a Windows Zope installation
I've installed Zope ver 2.4.1 on Windows 2000 pro. It runs fine, but I want to try out the CMF. I've followed the instructions I think. It's hard to tell because all the instructions seem to assume its on a Linux type box. The instructions say: -Unpack the tarball into a working directory. For instance: $ cd /usr/local/zope $ tar xzf /tmp/CMF-1.1.tar.gz So, I downloaded the tarball and unzipped it into c:\temp Next I'm supposed to: -Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into $INSTANCE_HOME/Products. For instance: $ cd /var/zope/Products $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.1/CMF* . So, using Windows Explorer, I moved the CMF-1.1 directory to C:\Program Files\Zope\lib\python\Products\ This is where all the products that show up in the Zope Products directory seem to be. Then I go to the Zope Control Panel and hit the Shutdown button, close my browser, restart Zope using start.bat and according to the instructions: -Restart Zope; verify that the CMF products loaded property, by examining them in Control_Panel/Product. -Create a CMF Site object. join, and begin adding content. Enjoy! Except that the CMF products don't show up in Products and I don't have a CMF site object option. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it is REALLY frustrating! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Talk to you soon, Gord Gordon W.
