Assuming you have followed: http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO the next thing to look at is http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/docs/newbie_caveats I think your problem may be to do with the fact that the Zope binaries for Linux ship with the -D (=debug) option in the start script enabled by default. With this enabled, when you close the terminal you started zope in, you stop zope. If I am right, then this is an FAQ. Each time I answer it, I plaintively wonder aloud why the -D flag would be the default, but I am generally ignored. Good luck with it anyways. D.

I just installed zope yesterday (running on linux) and found that I could use the area mysite.com:8080/manage for a little while, and then the process would be killed. i.e I'd have to keep typing "./start &" every few minutes to be able to continue doing the tutorial.

I found some info that says that I should change the port from 8080 (I'm running cpanel under that port anyways), so I changed it to 9080 as suggested. However, the problem still exists.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? (See my shell record below)

Thanks *so* much, Rachel
