Stefan, If you are running zope as an NT service, read on.... This problem occured to me as well. And Brian Lloyd had the following to say (BL>): BL> Aaaaarrgghh... I've figured this out.

The NT Service version had no sys.argv, which cgi.py BL> checks for if no QUERY_STRING is found in the environment.

I am not sure if the fix did go into the next version (or if there was a next version). Brian was kind enough to send me a "fixed" zope1 executable (originally called pss.exe). I am not sure what my distribution rights on zope are, so I am not attaching the modified executable in this email. The modified exe was also sent to the mailing list. Hope this helps, Vincent Stefan Franke wrote:

I've just installed Zope 1.9 on my NT 4.0 SP3 box and I can't get it running with IIS 4.0 (using serve.py with ZopeHTTPpublisher it works fine).

When I try to access the management screen (or any other screen) via

http://my-domain/cgi-koeln/koelnzope.exe/manage

(this is the valid path - 'koelnzope' is the installation name) I get the "Sorry, an error occurred" message with the traceback

<!-- Traceback (innermost last): File D:\Programme\Zope\Koelnzope\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 872, in publish_module File D:\Programme\Zope\Koelnzope\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 163, in __init__ File D:\Programme\Zope\Koelnzope\lib\python1.5\cgi.py, line 795, in __init__ AttributeError: argv

-->

The 'koelnzope' system service is running, and the directory settings for the cgi-koeln directory are ok AFAI can say.

Any ideas?
