Hello there.. First off let me say that I have RTFM, and it doesn't seem to be helping.. I've also searched the list and (surprisingly) not found any info on similar problems, so this is my last resource.. Trust me I understand how bad lists can get due to annoying newbie questions, but alas, here I am. Anyways, onto the meat of the matter.. I am trying to install Zope onto a fresh Mandrake (Redhat 6.0) 6.1 box, running Apache, the ultimate goal being to run SquishDot. At first I wanted to use pcgi to serve it up, but after struggling with that for a while unsuccessfuly I decided I would settle with using zerver. Now, I've tried both the rpm distribution of zope as well as the standard tgz distribution with the same effect. After the install, I go to http://localhost:9673/ to find my happy Zope home page waiting for me, so far so good. I now try going to the management screen link, and am challenged for a username and password. For some reason, it does not take the default username and password, so I change the access file to contain nic:test. I now shutdown zerver and try again. It now challenges me, and comes up with the following error: Sorry, an error occurred.<p> <!-- Traceback (innermost last): File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 590, in publish (Info: /manage) File lib/python/Globals.py, line 227, in __call__ (Object: manage) File lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 454, in __call__ (Object: manage) File lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 376, in cook (Object: manage) File lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 369, in read (Object: manage) File lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 543, in read_raw (Object: manage) IOError: (13, 'Permission denied') --> Can someone help me out? I'm willing to blow everything away and start over given instructions that are known to work, but I've never had such trouble installing anything before given instructions, so i suspect something is wrong somewhere. Thanks! -Nic PS Please reply directly, as I am not yet on the list
