Hi Zope-wizards, As you can see in my subject: I'm getting quite frustrated by some stupid error when I'm trying to login to my Zope server. (Yep, I'm a newbie...) Situation I'm going to create a website to gather funds for a hospital in Ghana (St. John of God Hospital in Duayaw Nkwanta). To get an idea about the situation: http://www.zwo.nhl.nl/hbov/buitenlandstage/ghana.html (Dutch & English). Website I want to do this with Zope & Python. I want people to be able to do online donations, retrieve information about the project, maybe send a mailinglist to keep them up to date and there are many more plans. So: I've got a lot to learn... Learn & develop @ work & @ home In order to learn as quickly as possible I tried to install Zope at work and at home (of course during my break ;-) ). At work (Win2000 Prof.), everything functions OK. I've done the tutorial and I'm now working myself through the ZopeBook. So far so good, but... My problem At home I've installed Zope (2.5.1) on my computer (Win98). No errors occured during installation. So, just like at work I tried to login to Zope for the first time, but... When I start the START.BAT, my computer starts a dial-in to my internetprovider! It seems this occurs when START.BAT is trying to retrieve my hostname. When START.BAT is finished, I type in... * http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage (START.BAT comes up with 127.0.0.1 as localhost and 8080 as port) * http://popeye:8080/manage or http://popeye:8021/manage (popeye is the computername in my Win98 network-settings and START.BAT comes up with popeye as localhost for port 8021) * http://localhost:8080/manage (should always work, right? Not!) * http://stjohnhospital:8080/manage (stjohnhospital is the superuser I installed Zope with) ... but none of them works!!! All that happens is that my browser (MsIE) when I'm offline shows me that the page cannot be found and when I'm online it shows me either "server error" or "page not found". >:-(( NB: It doesn't matter wether I login to my internprovider or not. I'm quite sure it's nonesense to be online in order to login to a local Zope-server, but hey, I've tried everything possible (as far as I know). I also tried to un- and reinstall Zope, but that didn't work either. :-( So please, help me out here!!! (In a short while I've got some days off and I want to do some work for the website at home.) Not only me, but also the people we're trying to help will be very gratefull! ;-)) Best regards, Yvon Breuer
Hi, When I start the START.BAT, my computer starts a dial-in to my internetprovider! It seems this occurs when START.BAT is trying to retrieve my hostname. When START.BAT is finished, I type in... I remember something that the TCP subsystem on Win98 isn't loaded until you have an active device, that is, you can't run any tcp servers unless you have a network card or a dialed in modem. What if you connect first to your ISP and then run START.BAT? What do you see in the dos box? Do you have a network card laying around, if so try that. Douwe
Hmm, Douwe could be right. I never used any pc without network-card... But when you can connect to your ISP via TCP/IP it must work IMHO. Juergen --On Dienstag, 16. Juli 2002 15:41 +0200 douwe@oberon.nl wrote:

I think the usual solution is to make sure that you don't have to do a DNS lookup to find your hostname (localhost, or whatever). Win98 should have a hosts file, perhaps called hosts.sam somewhere in the Windows directory. Rename it to 'hosts', if needed, and then edit it so that localhost is tied to address 127.0.0.1 If you've already tried 127.0.0.1 and it still wants to dial up, then you may have to stick in a dummy network card (there may even be an option to load the drivers for a virtual card, but not install any hardware). -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu
