Glad to hear I can do a lot without coding in Python. However I am still lost. Url's did not work for me. I am running windows 98. Zope Website folder? Is that a folder on the Zope web site or a folder titled website in what I dowloaded? If the latter I cannot find it. Zope runs as a service?? You mean Zope becomes my ISP? Or something like that? Still lost, but encouraged to hear that it is easier than Python. I am getting somewhere with Python, slowly. So I guess I might somewhere with Zope not so slowly. If only I can install it and find the start button. :) *********************************************************************************************************************************** Zope normally runs as a service - the only thing you get to see is the web (and other server) interfaces - try:- http://localhost:8080 - for a quick intro http://localhost:8080/manage - for the management interface This is assuming you are on Win NT or 2K and you local machien resolves to localhost (if not try substituting 127.0.0.1 for localhost in the above URLs), and have chosen to run Zope as a service - if it's not running as a service or you are on Win 9x, look for start.bat in the Zope Website folder, run that and try those URLs... --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

What exactly means "didn't work"?
Zope Website folder? Is that a folder on the Zope web site or a folder titled website in what I dowloaded? If the latter I cannot find it.
If you have installed Zope on a windows platform, "Zope Website folder" is the folder you were asked to install Zope to.
Zope runs as a service?? You mean Zope becomes my ISP? Or something like that?
Not exactly. If you're running WinNT or Win2k you can make Zope running as a process starting automatically in the background. It ghas nothin' to do with ISPs. Hope I helped you Erich

Bear with us - it's fiddly (Under Win98), but you'll get there...

Zope Website folder? Is that a folder on the Zope web site or a folder titled website in what I dowloaded? If the latter I cannot find it.
By default c:\program files\website - the folder you installed your Zope software to.

No - under Windows NT/2K programs that run effectively as part of the system (e.g. are always there in the background) are called services. Under Windows 98 the Zope /server/ runs as a program in a DOS box, with only scrolling system messages being displyed (I think - don't use 98!). You need to understand that Zope is both a web and an application server. The "user interface" for the software is effectively a website runing locally. In other words, Zope is a server, your web browser is a client - but both are running on your machine.

I see you have posted some more messages. I'll keep plugging away! Regards, PhilK
