I decided to devote the weekend to installing a web server on my win2k pro box and bringing a site up. I chose zope because I needed to have some database stuff and I know python. Zope seemed a good fit and it is advertised as simple to administrate. I have installed a few IIS sites for clients. I observe that you support win NT, but at this point, I am not sure if you support win2k? My problem is whenever I try to use to management console, as to add a directory named for my domain, to start out on the content developer tutorial, I get a message something like superuser cannot own object. Although I have tried a few things, at the moment my zope account is the Administrator, since that seems like a good superuser account. I claim I am logged in as another user on the win2k box, who is a member of the administrator group. Reading the Admistrative doc, this sounds a bit like the web server is not passing authetication information, but at the moment I claim I have only Zserver running. I had installed apache, but decided I did not need this and the doc suggested I needed to do a few extra steps to get started, and I only have a meg pipe anyway, so I stopped apache and let ZServer start as a systems process? I hope someone kind will shed some light on my difficulty.

I had this 'problem' also, and it turned out to be (as usual) me not reading the manual correctly. When You install Zope you're asked for a name and password for an superuser account. THIS USER CAN'T OWN ANY OBJECTS! So the first thing you need to do when the installation is done is to start Zope and log in as superuser and CREATE A USER! When You do this observe that you need to select the Role you want for the user Manager and/or Owner. I you don't select the can't do 'anything'... - -- Best regards, Anders mailto:ame@swipnet.se -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBOgSsZqTtRA/JSm7JEQLhlwCdFxmUiIk+WifeV3evwJl8LFuzU6MAoJx4 lEq6zETOZzFcKLswvV0N3h9p =9UXU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
New security measure in 2.2 - you only login as superuser (with the name and the password the install script gave you) long enough to create another user as manager. Out of the box, Zope doesn't use OS security. Also look at zpasswd.py.
tutorial, I get a message something like superuser cannot own object.
Max, Please read the section titled "The Superuser" in http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/PDG/6-1-Security.stx. Your problem doesn't really have anything to do with Windows...
