I am trying to install Zope on a web host account (no root access) that runs FreeBSD 4.5. It seems like I should be able to get it to work through pcgi-wrapper. I have gone through every bit of text I could find about pcgi-wrapper, and its relation to Zope.cgi, but still no luck. If I run pcgi-wrapper by itself, it outputs the "temporarly unavailable" HTML. In other words, it works by itself. I found out about using pcgifile.py, to verify that at least the basics were set up properly so that things _should_ work. It gives me a positive result I call: http://<siteName>.net/~<username>/cgi-bin/pcgifile.py?infofile=Zope.cgi. I have included the resulting output at the bottom of this email, but suffice to say, it seems to think things are okay. For the sake of trying to get this all to work, I chmod'ed access rights for /home/<userName>/cgi-bin/Zope (and all files and directories underneath that) to 777. The only thing I did differently in Zope.cgi was to change the PCGI_MODULE_PATH setting to point to Main.py, instead of just pointing to a directory. (Some documentation I found on the web pointed me to this, and when I did it the other way, I got an error, as it seemed to be expecting a file, not a directory.) I try running it from the command line: ./Zope.cgi or also just ./pcgi-wrapper Zope.cgi In either case, it just waits for a while, and then returns with no output. The pcgi.log file reports no problem. If I try calling http://<siteName>/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi, I get the "Temporarily Unavailable" message -- but again, nothing written to pcgi.log. I make sure I am runnning Python version 2.1.3. Other CGI files (I use Perl CGI a lot) work fine with the current Apache configuration. I would so appreciate any suggestions on this, because I am really hoping to start learning and using Zope. Maybe I just don't have rights on my account to be able to initiate a persistent process? Thanks!
