Sorry for the novice question but I cannot get the management screens to come up after I have installed ZOPE.   Here is what I did.   HW - ZOPE on winnt   1. Install Zope 2. Choose to install it with the included webserver. 3. Attempted to start Service on NT.       CRASH (I know, NT!)

Hmm -- though its no explanation for a crash, why did you choose to install using the existing web server and then start the service (which is unrelated to the built-in server version)? Note that "because I didn't know any better" is a perfectly valid response -- I think we need a better explanation of the options available on NT ;)

  4. If I run the serve batch file, and start the Server it seems ok. I can view information on my local IP at port :8080 but as soon as I attempt to look at the management screens, BAM Nothing.

Is the service you tried to start still running? The two are basically mutually exclusive - both cannot have the persistent object database open at the same time.

I am picking up events in the event logs as follows:

I definitly think it is a configuration issue here are the events(4 critical occur):

a.The Open Procedure for service "ISAPISearch" in DLL "QPerf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0.

b.The Open Procedure for service "ContentIndex" in DLL "QPerf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0.

c.The Open Procedure for service "ContentFilter" in DLL "QPerf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0.

a, b, and c are unrelated to Zope - they are coming from your IIS installation.

d.The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( ted ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): PyImport_ImportModule: ZPublisher.Publish The system cannot find the file specified. (null).

I named my installation (ted) and I have never seen anything to make me think I need to logon???

It *looks* like the service failed to start up -- do you by any chance have an existing python installed (esp. a 1.5.2 alpha)? In any event, if you did not choose to install Zope as a service, you will not be able to get to it via IIS anyway. The easiest way to figure out what's going on here is for you to: 1. stop the 'ted' service and make sure it is set as 'disabled' or 'manual' start in the NT service manager. 2. run the serve.bat script in your ted installation to start the built-in server. 3. try to access 'http://localhost:8080/manage'. If you fail to access the management screen, send me the exact contents of the reply the browser gives you (by doing 'view source').   Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
