Hi All Thanks for the feedback. Progress of a sort <g>. Using "http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage" I still get the IE error report but I also get the following debug response to start.bat: Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\Program Files\WebSite\z2.py", line 621, in ? logger_object=lg) File "C:\Program Files\WebSite\ZServer\HTTPServer.py", line 391, in__init__http_server.__init__(self, ip, port, resolver,logger_object) File "C:\Program Files\WebSite\ZServer\medusa\http_server.py", line 549, in__init__ip = socket.gethostbyname (socket.gethostname()) socket.error: host not found Seems to be a variant of the IE error report so I'm no further forward unfortunately.

I'm unable to open Zope 2.3.0 on my pc under Windows 95. I run start.bat and then point IE5 at http://127.0.0.1 but all I get is an IE error report "The page cannot be displayed. Cannot find server or DNS Error".
John Gregory is still having trouble connecting:

Seems to me I remember having various network type problems (not necessarily just Zope) on a few Win95 installations when I wasn't hooked to any network. Something has to force the OS to load the tcpip stack, and without a network connection it apparently wasn't getting loaded. Does your version of Win95 have all the updates you can get? I know they significantly improved the Winsock libraries somewhere along the way. If in fact you aren't connected to a network, I'd suggest getting a dialup networking connection going - that is, the machine tries to connect using dialup - even if you don't actually have any account for it. I ***think*** that even an unsuccessful attempt to connect by dialup will cause the stack to get loaded. Of course, if you have a network card already installed and it's already bound to tcpip then this suggestion won't apply. If you have no network adapters bound to tcpip, that's probably the trouble (no tcpip would be installed). That's where creating a dialup connection (it counts as an adapter) and binding it to tcpip would help. This may sound strange when you only want to connect to localhost, but still the tcpip software has to get loaded, even for localhost. Cheers, Tom P
Hi As I posted earlier about Zope nuder Win95/98, I have succesfully solved terribly slow response time from Zope by editing my "c:\windows\hosts" file with an ASCII text editor to include specifically the IP of my machine. Be sure to keep the file named simply 'hosts' and do not append any automatic suffix like .txt or .doc as Windows is prone to do. For example: 64.7.9.195 jasonic #Sony Viao Laptop 64.7.9.195 is the name I assigned in my TCP/IP netowrk settings 'jasonic' is myarbitrary name for this laptop after this one can access zope as: http://64.7.9.195 http://jasonic or in IE, simply type jasonic and it will first check the 'hosts' file before insisting on http:// The above assumes Zope is running on http port 80. To do this, you must edit the file 'z2.py' in the top level folder of your Zope installation, and change the line halfway down from 8080 to 80 [or whatever you like] # Port for HTTP Server. The standard port for HTTP services is 80. HTTP_PORT=80 If you leave it as anything other than 80 you must suffix any url with that value: http://jasonic:8080 etcetc.. This immediately fixed my problems and I suspect it is that Windows TCP/IP is not handled the same way Unix/Linux are, or rther that IE is busy being busy try, to be too smart :-( None of the above has anything to do with RAM, diskspace, or size of your Zope Data.fs Those are all separate issues discussed in this list and How-Tos. In my experience without first editing 'hosts' you may expreience long waits on Win32 for any local ZServer access. {In Windows I suggest you open Explorer [the regular file Explorer NOT Internet Explorer] and select 'View' menu => 'Folder Options' then click the 'View' tab and scroll down the list of checkbox options to select 'Hidden Files' / *show all files* } If any one else can confirm or explain this Zope/Win32 behavior better, I would love to hear from you.
