Thanks for all the tips and help guys. I've been playing with it some more and am starting to understand how things work. Very simple yet powerful. I'm liking Zope more and more.

Unless you've installed a Zope product called LocalFS or one of its cousins, the "files" in Zope are actually objects in the ZODB. The ZODB itself is a single file called "data.fs," and it usually lives in the var directory. Administrative note: this is the file to back up, with it and a fresh install of Zope you can recreate your entire site. If you removed index_html, then you already know a little about the management interface. Go back in there and create a new DTML Document called "index_html" in the same location as the one you deleted, containing whatever you'd like, and that'll fix your 404. At this stage of the game, you can just put HTML in there and worry about DTML a bit later. Yes, the "_" is not only the default, but necessary. You can't change it to a ".", it confuses Python. Once you get used to it, you'll find you really don't have to care what the "files" in Zope are called, and since it's not really a file anyway, the lack of a "." and file extension doesn't matter at all.

greetings!

I'm really new to Zope, although I've been reading up on it and following it for over a year. Just never had too much time to really sit down and start using/playing with it -- until now. Here's my question...

I'm running Zope (latest stable build) on my WinNT 4 workstation and have installed the CMF 1.0 stuff already. I haven't been able to find this answer in the documentation yet (still reading though) but where are the files (ie images, html, etc) stored for my webserver?

For instance in Apache you have your htdocs directory, in IIS you have your wwwroot directory, where is it on Zope? Or are all the files stored in the Zope DB? Reason I'm asking is that I removed the default zope page (index_html) and want to create a new (index) page with my info but since I removed the index_html file I get a 404 error basically. I created a sub directory (http://localhost/coolness) and had to name the main file index_html. Is the _ the default? Can I rename the file index.htm or default.htm?

Thanks.

Hope this didn't sound too confusing. :)
