I can FTP with '/username@my.machine.com:/' but cannot get it to parse the odd port number 8021 and don't see where to manually set it in ange-ftp.el.

I switched to EFS for testing ZServer because ange-ftp doesn't seem to support this. I believe you'd have to twiddle an elisp variable, which of course would change it for all ange-ftp sessions. Also the Windows port of XEmacs is _awesome_.

I tried '/username@my.machine.com#8021:/'

This is what works for XEmacs/EFS.

It sees everything except the port number.

Also, I don't think I have ZServer set up correctly. I had been running this as a PCGI thus far. I now want to switch to ZServer. I untarred ZPublisher-990415 into /usr/share/zope/lib/python then edited and ran start.py.

You'll probably have problems with the permissions on var. A nice thing about ZServer is that you can actually see exception information in a console window.

Do I need to clean things up and rebuild Zope now, or is it OK as is? Can someone nudge me back on course?

I see just: <module 'Main'>

What should be in MODULE='' in start.py?

This happened to me yesterday. I'm not too smart so I blew everything away and it seemed to work. Amos is working on a new installer (as well as finally overhauled and corrected installation docs) for 1.11. --Paul
