My ISP installed Zope in /usr/local and set up an INSTANCE_HOME in my personal directory. Zope is owned by "nobody" so I had to be added to the "nobody" group to be able to edit, delete etc. We made a start script like: $ nohup ./start STUPID_LOG_FILE=/some/log/filename & , as suggested by Chris McDonough. That worked great and it enabled me to ftp in without killing Zope, which was happening before we adopted his script. Michael On Tuesday 30 July 2002 06:53 pm, David Walker wrote:

Hello again -

One of the support people at my ISP instructed me to install the linux version of Zope in my root directory on their server. While The Zope Book advises to install in the Zope directory. My guess is that the ISP is new to Zope. Any suggestions??

I FTPd Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86.gz to my root directory on my ISPs server. I untarred it and now there is a Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86 directory with all the appropriate files and sub-directories in my root directory.

Thanks- David dw@pzaz.net

Did they really say your root directory? Perhaps they said 'your home directory'. IMHO you should create a Zope subdirectory in your home directory, and install Zope there. -- Milos Prudek
