Help Installing Zope Products
Hello, I'm starting to play with zope and I'm running into problems when installing "products." More specifically I'm trying to install Squishdot following the instructions in the distribution. Basically, I untar the files under zope root's directory (/var/lib/zope in Debian GNU/Linux which is the platform I use) and then I restart the server. I'm supposed to see the products right there or under "Product Management" but I see nothing. I managed to install ZPhotoAlbum because it comes with a .zexp file that allowed me to import the product into zope (I copied this file to /var/lib/zope/imports). But Squishdot doesn't have this. Can anyone give some hints on what I might be missing? Thank you in advance for your help. -- Pedro I. Sanchez

You should untar it into /usr/lib/zope/ on Debian.

If you are running Potato (or Woody) versions of Debian than you can install Squishdot by typing (as root): apt-get install squishdot Which will install not only Squishdot (version 0.3.2), but TinyTable as well. There is also How-To on how to create Debian Packages from Zope Products where you can get more Zope Products in .deb format: http://www.zope.org/Members/vernier/debian -- Kevin Teague iBuilder http://www.stormix.com
