Hello! When I try the following: http://localhost:8080 http://127.0.0.1:8080 http://joplop-alpha:8080 the browswer says "page cannot be displayed." If the server is not started, how do I start it? I have already run the start.bat. I put a screenshot of what opens when i run it online: http://lunamanium.com/startbat.gif I don't see any port information on the start.bat command window, so my next question is, if it is started, how do I find out what port it is using? I am glad there is somewhere for me to ask these questions. Thank you very much. Jessica Robinson junkystuph@hotmail.com

Can you access it with http://localhost:8080/ ? If not, then the server is either not started, or started on another port. The -D setting is good, because that means that you will see what port is used when the server is started. It prints that in the DOS box.

Dear Zope Group,

I am trying to use Zope at home and am wondering if someone might be willing to help me get started. I have installed Zope 2.4.3 on my new windowsXP machine, but I can't access the control manager. I've tried the following URLs: http://localhost:8080/manage http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage and was told by my browser (IE 6.0) the "page cannot be displayed." Since those didn't work, I looked up my computer's hostname: I typed "hostname" in a command prompt and found it is "joplop-alpha." So then i tried: http://joplop-alpha:8080/manage Still, "page cannot be displayed." I don't know how to change the hostname or where it is even located as I am very unfamiliar with windowsXP.

When I run start.bat (as the online zope book instructs) a dos prompt opens containing the following information: C:\Program Files\WebSite>"C:\Program Files\WebSite\bin\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\WebSite\z2.py" -D I have read mentions of the -D being a default debugging setting which may need to be turned off. How do I turn it off? When I put any of those strings into the address area of my web browser, windows wants to know what program it should use to view it.

I also ran across an article which suggested one may need to create a HOSTS file in the windows directory. I don't know how to do that, but I follow directions very well.

During my latest installation of Zope I told it to run as a win32 service, if that matters at all. I uninstalled Zope and reinstalled it twice to try to get it to work - once choosing the manual option instead of the win32 service option. I have a DSL connection and I don't have any firewall programs running (I did have Zone Alarm enabled, but turned it of so it wouldn't interfere). I've looked around on zope.org and egroups' message archives for hours and hours now, but have found very little relating to this problem.

I may sound like a person who has no business trying to use Zope, but I use it at work everyday and love it. I can't wait to get it going at home. Any help will be unbelievably appreciated.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
