Hey, IT'S WORKING! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, EVERYONE!! I decided to turn my firewall program back on since I wasn't getting anywhere with Zope. Then I did what Joel instructed in the original message below. The moment I hit return after the command string, a lot of Zope info showed up in the command window AND the firewall program asked me if i wanted to allow python.exe to access the internet. After i answered "yes," I tried to access the zope manager and it came up!!! Here's a synopsis of the entire situation: Zope V 2.4.3 Windows XP IE 6.0 Unable to access Zope control panel/manager at the following urls (Browswer says "Page cannot be displayed"): - http://localhost:8080/manage - http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage - http://joplop-alpha:8080/manage (joplop-alpha is what showed up after requesting localhost info in a command prompt) Unable to access Zope QuickStart at following urls (Browswer says "Page cannot be displayed"): - http://localhost:8080/ - http://127.0.0.1:8080/ - http://joplop-alpha:8080/ First installed it as a service, didn't work, uninstalled it. Reinstalled it as manual start-up, didn't work, uninstalled it. Reinstalled it as a service, not currently working. Screenshot of start.bat: http://lunamanium.com/startbat.gif - i've let it sit for twenty minutes No firewall program running. Here's a screenshot of what is running on the computer: http://lunamanium.com/netstat.gif There is nothing using the ports that Zope is supposed to be using. Admin Tools > Services - Zope isn't started and it won't stay started; clicking 'Start' brings up following message: "The Zope service WebSite on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service." Opened command line and typed: c:\Program Files\WebSite>start.bat -D This triggered Zope to start and now it's working. I'm really excited about getting to use Zope at home. When I know more about Zope, I hope I will be able to help others like I've been helped. Jessica Robinson junkystuph@hotmail.com

Hi Joel!

I opened a command prompt and this is what i did:

c:\Program Files\WebSite>start.bat -d

and then a bunch of information on all the different commands scrolled up. did i type the correct command? if not, what should I type and, also, what should i be looking for?

"-D" not "-d"

and if the reason it's not working isn't obvious, post it to the list (feel free to cc me)

Joel
