I'm new to Zope. I need access to a text file external to Zope to extract some input information for my Zope database. I installed the LocalFs.1-0-0 product. As soon as I added a LocalFS object, my folder became unaccesible. I could access it after I removed LocalFS product. Can you advice me how to read an external text file with or without LocalFS? I work with Zope 2.7.0.

With external methods you can do it programmatically.

You could try to fix LocalFS. Turn on logging and/or run Zope from the console to see what's happening, if it is, as I suspect, a startup problem.

There is also External File, and probably others.
