To all: I have been trying to use my RPM installation of Zope and I have run into several problems which I believe can be attributed to the fact that I used an RPM installation. I have found the following in the source installation script distributed with the source installation. I have annotated my questions in the text of the RPM piece of the installation script. Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. I would like to use the RPM installation and not install from source directly. Currently I am unable to get a process name with ps -A, although the ZopeHTTPServer is running, as I can get to the Zope welcome screen. I also cannot get any authentication for the manage screen, it is the same error that is listed in the FAQ as being the result of a PCGI install of Zope not passing authentication info onto the web server, however I am running the ZopeHTTPServer. I am installing and trying to get to the manage screen as root, so there should be no permission problems. What do I need to do to get the RPM working properly? Here is the text from the product_install.py file that I believe is a solution to the problem. -r -- This is an RPM (or RPM-like) installation. o Get the installation name from the directory name where installe. ( what is the installation name? ) o Use the installation name as the superuser name and use a blank superuser password. This means that the administrator *must* edit access or configure their web server to authenticate this name. ( the access file resides in the /var/local/zope directory, is this correct for an RPM? ) o Create a link for the executable using the name, so that ps listings show the installation name. ( Where do I create this link? ) o Write the resource file accordingly. ( What resource file is this? RPM resource, Zope resource ?? ) Note: I am using the RPM as built by Jeff Rush. I really apprecitate any help the community would be willing to give me. Thank-you Nathen Hinson
