Hello all, I have followed 4am's INSTANCE-HOME How-To, and have set up a Zope Instance. I created the var, import, Extensions and Products directories from scratch. I then put a new product in the new instance's Products directory. When I start my new Zope instance, it sees all of the products that are installed in the base Zope installation, but not the new product in the instance's Products directory. If I put the new product in the base Zope installation, then my new instance sees it. Based on my understanding of the INSTANCE_HOME How-To, I should be able to have separate products in the instance's Products directory, right? Any help on this is greatly appreciated! If you could, please cc: any responses to my email address (willd@p-wave.com) as well as the list, since I am in digest mode. Thanks! BTW, I'm running Zope 2.2.1 on linux2. Thanks again folks, Will Dennis P-Wave, Inc.

Some sanity checks: - You're starting Zope from inside the INSTANCE_HOME, right? - Can you verify that the Data.fs in the INSTANCE_HOME's var is the one being used? - Can you import from INSTANCE_HOME/import? Cheers, Evan @ digicool & 4-am
Thanks for replying so quickly, Evan! Evan Simpson wrote:

Yes, just as in the How-To instructions. I can provide you with the start script if necessary.
- Can you verify that the Data.fs in the INSTANCE_HOME's var is the one being used?
Yes, the Database Management page in Control Panel says the location is my instance path (/home/zope/p-wave/var/Data.fs) whereas the "base" Zope installation is in /usr/local/zope.
- Can you import from INSTANCE_HOME/import?
Yes, just tried it and it does import products fine (just imported a self-written product we had exported from another Zope installation.)
Cheers,

Thanks again, Will
Hello all, OK, shoulda tried other products before posting... We just installed two products (LocalFS and ZSMime) in the given instance's Products folder, and they appear in the instance, just as they should! For some reason, however, WorldPilot doesn't show up unless I install it in the base Zope's Products folder... Guess I'll have to email the N&H guys (unless they're on this list!) Thanks for your help, anyways... I'll do more testing next time. Will
