I can't retrieve localhost:8080, because ZServer won't start. (I get a Naviation Error in IE). I tried removing and re-installing TCP/IP, as you suggested (rebooting after each step), to no avail. I also tried putting my hostname in the code ip = socket.gethostbyname ('jimslackxl') # was: socket.gethostname()) This didn't help either. ping localhost works fine. Also, I use Apache regularly on this machine for localhost access. Any other ideas? On Mon, 26 Jul 1999, Anthony Pfrunder wrote:

Ok,

Try viewing your management screen on the machine that the server is running by going to:

http://localhost:8080/manage

If you get a dns error then Windows is not seeing the HOSTS file for some reason. If so, try removing and re-installing TCP/IP (love Windows don't you ;). If THAT doesn't work you could try replacing the gethostbyname bit with a manual assignment as Zope only uses it for log displays.

Ensure that you are using Zope 2.0.0b1 (either the offical release OR the Windows Enhanced version located at http://student.uq.edu.au/~s341625). I've tested both versions on a stock win95 and they work.
