Warning: Extreme Newbie Tutorial Question
I've installed Zope on my Win2K Advanced Server over the weekend to test it out. I want to do the tutorial, but every time I try it tells me the tutorial isn't installed. So I followed the directions by going to http://www:8080/manager and logging in as the only user there is, me. I then add from the list Zope Tutorial. I give it an ID of "Zope Tutorial" and it brings me to a button that says launch. I click it, and I still get the same error. I reeeeealy want to learn this and play with the tutorial, but I must be doing something wrong. Thanks, R

Hi Robb, I suspect that problem is that you're trying to install the tutorial as the emergency user (the one that was created automatically when you installed Zope). As a security precaution, the superuser isn't allowed to "own" anything. Your first step on a new Zope should be to make a new user and make that user a "Manager." Then use that user to install the tutorial. Good luck. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.

As another extreme newbie, I don't think that's it. I did exactly the same thing (running the tutorial in the superuser account) without any trouble at all over the weekend. I'm running on Win98, BTW. JDM Timothy Wilson wrote:

Hi Robb, Hmm, it doesn't sound to me like you are doing anything wrong(?) Is there a traceback listed on the page that tells you about the error (it may be hidden in the HTML source of the page)? What type of user are you logged in as (i.e., owner, manager)? Eric.

Actually, I created another user instead of using the Super User. Then when I try to add the tutorial, I get this message.

Hi Robb,
Hmm, it doesn't sound to me like you are doing anything wrong(?)
Is there a traceback listed on the page that tells you about the error (it may be hidden in the HTML source of the page)?
What type of user are you logged in as (i.e., owner, manager)?
Eric.
Hi again Robb, Hmm, it looks like a permissions problem, but I'm not 100% certain. Does your user have the "Manager" Role? It should. Also, I found this in the Zope Book: "If you are having problems with the tutorial, make sure to enable cookies in your browser. The tutorial uses cookies to keep track of where your example objects are." Hope that helps, Eric.

Well, after a restart of the server, it goes back to telling me I need to install the tutorial.. So, I started over. I created a new, non power user and installed the tutorial. Now it seems to work. Wish me luck! I really want to learn this system as my company is looking at buying an Application Server and I want to see how it fares against some of the big boys, but more of that in my next post.

Congrats! Glad you have the tutorial working. Welcome to Zope, too. FWIW, I find the PDF version of the Zope book invaluable while I work with Zope (I have the printed copy too, but searching the PDF is fast and easy and probably more up-to-date). I recommend you check it out, it'll save you time in the long run. Happy Zoping! Eric.
