are you running any kind of proxy or gateway software on the box? 8080 is a common port for proxies. FrontPage PWS also uses port 8080.

A while back I reported a problem with Zope under Win98. The symptoms are that everything looks OK in the MS-DOS command window but that when you try and browse to http://localhost:8080 then nothing happens.

A number of people made useful suggestions including making sure the was an entry in the Windoze LMHOSTS file but to no avail.

As Zope did _once_ work on this particular PC I went back to Zope 2.1.6 as I had a hunch that this was version I had originally tried (the problems on started when I upgraded to a later version).

However, no luck.

Then, just for the hell of it, I installed Zope 1.10.3. IT WORKS (over port 9673)!

Zope V1 isn't alot of use to me, but I thought I'd report my findings in case it causes any flashes of deduction amongst Windows gurus out there which might lead to a resolution of the problem.

For the record, the M$ Personal Web Server (or whatever it's called), works just fine - browsing to http://localhost does what you'd expect.

Cheers.
