8021 is the ftp port, right? I think the default start script does not start a ftpd on 8021. Take a look at your start script. Here's the standard line "out of the box":

exec $INST_HOME/bin/python $INST_HOME/z2.py -D "$@"

or something to that effect. Change it to:

exec $INST_HOME/bin/python $INST_HOME/z2.py -D -f 8021 -w 8080 "$@"

I edited the *start* script thus: #! /bin/sh reldir=`dirname $0` INST_HOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export INST_HOME exec /usr/local/bin/python \ $INST_HOME/z2.py -D -f8021 -w8080 "$@" Nonetheless, port 8021 wasn't functioning upon reboot of Zope. (Strangely, *netstat -n -a* didn't show port 8080, either, although I could surf to Zope.) Would you mind explaining what the "$@" does? I can translate the shell script, but I don't understand what you're doing.

you can get rid of the '-D' if you want zope to detach from the terminal and run in the background. Error msgs are logged in var/Z2.log

I couldn't find any error log by that name anywhere in my Zope installation. Does it only create itself if there is an error to log? TIA, beno
