hints for improving zope quick start
Hi, here some comments on improving the quick start for Zope newbies. It is what would have saved me time finding it in doc/INSTALL.txt. - better not to have of-scrolling password when issuing python w_pcgi.py. Martijn Pieters already promised to fix it. - please hint at the fact the ./start by default will not return. You should also tell, that removing -D from ./start will switch of this [debugging mode]. - "python zpasswd.py -w auser access" will not ask for the missing password though specifying no arg it will start prompting. It would increase the tools usability to make it more adaptive, because . Additionally: zpasswd.py: I really can't remember the last time I *saw* the password I typed in. Shouldn't this be changed? -Jan -- Jan-Oliver Wagner http://www.usf.uos.de/~jwagner/ Intevation GmbH Sci. Ass. Inst.of Environmental Systems Res. http://www.usf.uos.de/

Correction: Michel Pelletier promised. I do not have the authority to promise such things.

This is platform dependant. I don't see the password being typed. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

Sorry for that. I was too quick with paste and copy.

I experienced this with mandrake 6.1. -Jan -- Jan-Oliver Wagner http://www.usf.uos.de/~jwagner/ Intevation GmbH Sci. Ass. Inst.of Environmental Systems Res. http://www.usf.uos.de/

IMPO, you should not see the password as it is typed. It should, however, as a result insist you type it in twice and confirm they are the same. -- "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." -- Carl Sagan
