Removing all vestiges of Zope
Help! I want to completely remove Zope from my development server, then reinstall the whole thing from scratch (Linux system, BTW). I did and 'rm -rf' on the /usr/local/Zope directory, but upon reinstall, all of the old stuff is still there! YIKES! How do I do this? Any help most appreciated! Regards, -- John R.

It must be storing the "stuff" somewhere else. Check to make sure that it was not move to another directory or that the install is not referencing another directory. All of the Zope goodies do live in one place with the exception being your Zope.cgi script and anything you might have modified in the httpd.conf. My guess is 'usr/local/Zope' was where you untarred it but you might have moved it to another place. J

Today, smog@email.wm.edu regaled us with tales of Re: [Zope] Removing all...:

It's a Mandrake 7.0 install. I meant that even if I wiped out /usr/local/Zope (untar/install location), I could still go to <webserver>:8080 and get Zopified content or to /manage and get the management interface. AAAAAGGGGGHHHH! I just figured it out! I didn't shut down the old Zope server before deleting the directory! I killed the Zope processes and restarted it and now it's clean! YAY! Just goes to show you...don't do any hard labor before that third cup of coffee! Thanks to all for the replies! Regards, -- John R.
