I'm running Debian sarge and I've just installed zope and plone, but I can't seam to login to the zope management area. zope is running, I can see it at http://localhost:9673/ but I can login using 'cmsuser' and 'password' I've used zope-zpasswd -u james -p password /var/lib/zope/access to set up another user and then restarted zope but I still can't login. Can any one tell me what I'm doing wrong and where I can find some debian specific instructions. Thanks James

A few things to know: - 'inituser' (for initial user creation) and 'access' (for emergency user) must be in your INSTANCE_HOME if you're running like that, or in the root of your zope install otherwise - they must be readable by the system user running Zope - 'inituser' is only used when creating a new Data.fs, so delete the existing one to use this - 'access' only creates an emergency user, and if you get access that way you will need to use it to create a new manager that you can actually use later - read doc/SECURITY.TXT My usual sequence if I lose a password on a new install is like this: go to zope install directory 'python zpasswd.py inituser' follow the prompts if I'm doing INSTANCE_HOME, go there and move 'inituser' over remove existing Data.fs start Zope open browser to 'localhost:8080/manage' and login Debian apparently uses a different port (which shouldn't matter) and changes the name of the script (which also shouldn't matter.) I don't know what else is different, but many people report problems with the Debian Zope package. It may be easier to install it regularly. --jcc -- "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.

Thanks, I've worked it now. I wasn't too sure where INSTANCE_HOME was, in debian it's /var/lib/zope/instance/default Have created inituser and logged in OK and made a zope user. I've just added a plone site, but I can't work out how to add components to plone. Plus only Authenticated users can see content. What do I need to do to open up the site and add other components? Thanks in advance James

Content must be published before anonymous users can see it.

Follow their install directions. Usually just a sequence of: unpack into Products directory, restart Zope, use QuickInstaller to install. Plone questions, btw, are generally best asked on the Plone list. --jcc -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."
