Hi,

I am running the latest FreeBSD4.3-STABLE and just installed the port of Zope. zope/Zope2.3.3 and zope/Hotfix_2001-05-01

I see it running by doing a "ps -ax", actually two copies, one as root and one as nobody: "/usr/loca/bin/python2.1 /usr/local/www/Zope/z2.py -D"

First of all, I can find no docs on why two copies are running.

Also, I get "Unable to connect..." to http://localhost:8080/manage.

Can you doublecheck that it is running on the port you suspect it to? On my FreeBSD box the command sockstat gives reinoud@spoetnik$ sockstat USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS [...] nobody python2. 18738 13 tcp4 192.168.1.11:8080 *:* nobody python2. 18738 14 tcp4 192.168.1.11:8021 *:* if that works, try telnet locahost 8080 and enter the command GET / you normally get a bunch of HTML back, but maybe some error message (otherwise try looking in /var/log/messages or the Zope output (I guess /usr/local/www/Zope/var/zope-output if you installed it from the ports

I thought Zope was supposed to run by itself, seperate of Apache? Just FYI, I killall httpd and restarted everything to see if Zope would run standalong without apache.

Yes, the default installation is without Apache. It is possible 'behind' Apache, but that takes some configuration

I know that you guys are working on revamping the docs. It is greatly appreciated. In the meantime, is there an install problem list I can subscribe to? I can't find one. So should I post install problems here?

Let me know what's up. Your whole organization's configuration is awefully confusing, not to mention the docs themselves. I hope you can understand my newbie frustration with your stuff and can provide a link to some info that could help me figure out why I followed the instructions, got Zope installed, but cannot connect to it to do anything with it. Any help appreciated for this lost zope soul.

I printed out the Zope book and read it. see http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ for links to various formats. It should be available by now at your local computer book store. -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen reinoud@xs4all.nl http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud -> when replying to a mailinglist mail, please do <- -> *NOT* cc: me as well.
