Re: newbie zope question -- stuck in quick-start page
Oh, I have created a new user with Manager role access, and even when I login as that user, I can't seem to get rid of this quick-start page, and get to see the tabbed root folder that appears in all the zope docs. I notice that http://host:8080/manage_workspace gets redirected to http://host:8080/manage.. I guess there's no way to look into the dtml/or code structure of zope except thru the mgmt. interface? (i.e. without that it would appear that I'm just stuck -- since there's quite obviously a bug in the default install that just keeps looping back to the quick start guide no matter what I try). The log file doesn't seem to indicate anything unusual (like errors etc.). Is this thing just broken? ps. is there any documentation on where the content is generated from? (I couldn't find where the quick start page is coming from, for example).

Are you using IE? Or some pre-release browser? There are versions of IE which have this known bug. Try another browser.

Those are written in .dtml files in the Zope source, they are not editable through the web. -Michel
I actually have now fixed the problem, and yes, Michel was right. It turns out that the default IE on W2K (5.0.x) and IE 5.0, and IE 5.01 on WNT both suffer from this problem. Updating to 5.5 was necessary to fix it. (It's pretty annoying tho' since I wonder how many people out there are still running 5.0 and 5.01). Zope looks great! After messing w/ costly app servers and my disk going to lunch grinding away on .jsp files :), I'm impressed w/ the speed -- I'd written a template processing thingie using mod_perl on Apache, so I can appreciate the work this must have taken. Hats off to you folks! Thanks a bunch. ps. please write some good documentation on the internals -- for those of us who are knowledgeable about "other" solutions, zope sure seems impenetrable and mysterious.. (I'm sure the scales will fall from eyes as I work/play w/ it more).
