RE: [Zope] repost: Zope on Windows 2000 won't start
I've been running Zope (2.1.4) for a while on NT4sp6 as a service. After installing Windows 2000 Professional a fresh install of Zope won't run.
Anything in the event log?

Yes - that would be the first place to look for a clue. We haven't tried Zope out internally on win2K yet, so I can't really speak intelligently on the matter right now. But, since that's never stopped me before... :^) The win32 service support is based on Mark Hammonds win32 extensions (win32service in particular). A good place for an enterprising individual to start would be to take Zope out of the picture by installing a clean Python1.5.2 on win2K with the win32 extensions and see if any of Mark's win32 service demos (I believe there is at least one) will run. If anyone takes me up on this, I'd be _very_ interested in the results (as I won't have time for a while yet to get to this myself). Hope this helps!

Thanks to everyone for responding. The event log shows an "Information Event" with a source of python~1. The message is "Starting Zope". When I try to start the service itself the error returned is as follows: "Could not start the Zope (Zope) service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error." I can try installing python as you suggested and will let you know what I find out. Mark Hammond - is his stuff on the zope site or on python.org? The Zope member list is down at the moment so I can't look for him there. Thanks again.

Hello,
Yes - that would be the first place to look for a clue. We haven't tried Zope out internally on win2K yet, so I can't really speak intelligently on the matter right now. But, since that's never stopped me before... :^)
It works. I just installed Zope on a Toshiba laptop running W2K Pro, and it runs properly as a service. It's a fresh install of W2K. Python installed correctly. Zope installed correctly. Zope runs correctly on either port 8080 or port 80. Luke

I have been running several python services, including Zope 2.1.(3,4), on a late beta of windows 2000. So far I've not encountered any problems beyond what I would expect with NT4. Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
OK, I've installed the latest stable release of Python for Win32 (1.5.2) and allowed all of the defaults to carry on. This included TCL/TK. It all went without error. But if I try to start IDLE I get the following error, which is followd by the python shell window: Application popup: pythonw.exe - Unable To Locate DLL : The dynamic link library tcl80.dll could not be found in the specified path C:\Program Files\Python\DLLs;.;C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\syst em32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;D:\MSSQL7\BINN;C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAE~1. Whatever that all means I have no idea. Maybe there is a problem with win32service as Brian wondered... but I also tried running the start.bat that Zope provides and it didn't suceed i starting Zope either. As a next step I've tried to uninstall Zope and reinstall, not choosing to run Zope as a service. I had some problems with the uninstall though, which I attempted via the usual control panel interface. The uninstall went through without apparent error, but after it was completed and a full reboot I found that the Zope directory structure and files were 100% intact (maybe this is intentional?) and that the Zope service was still listed as set to start automatically (although it still wouldn't start). I then proceeded to reinstall Zope, choosing to start it manaully. I end up with the same thing that I started with, a non-functional installation of Zope. Again, this was a fresh install of W2K, all of the old registry values that existed with NT were wiped out. I have to conclude that there does seem to be some sort of problem with Zope/Python and W2K, even if I'm the only one lucky enough to have run into it so far <g>. So I'd still appreciate any assistance from folks who know how to test this installation further.
