and so it starts... I'm determined to learn zope for my next project and can't even get past the tutorial. Using zope v.2.16 on windows. I get to the part where I create the 1st DTML method (index_html) and zope reports an error: Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: the id index_html is invalid - it is already in use. This is in a virtually empty system. I suspect that the problem is in initializing the tuturial. I suspect further that the tutorial text and graphic figures don't jibe. The beginning of the tutorial says to create the ZAcme folder under my root installation. I take this to mean at the main manage entry point, rather than my literal root directory (as it says further down the page). When I do this, the ZAcme folder shows up in the workspace but the illustrations don't show this. I continue along and end up getting the above error. I also tried manually creating folders in my actual root directory (C:\) and in the zope directory (C:\Program Files\ZAcme) and I get the above error every time. Help! TIA Rob

When you create the folder there are a couple of checkboxes on the creation screen. One says "create public interface". If you leave that box checked (the default), it will create an index_html document in the folder. I haven't looked at the tutorial, but presumably you want to uncheck that box when you create the ZAcme folder. And yes, you want to be doing this in the root of your Zope, not the root of your file system. You should be able to use the management interface to delete the index_html document inside your existing ZAcme folder, and then recreate it according to the tutorial <grin>. --RDM

Rob, there is already an index_html object in the folder. You can just edit this, I suspect.

Yes, it does mean the root directory of your zope folder. When you create a new folder, it has two checkboxes. one of them asks whether you want to create a public interface: This is index_html. Then you go into the directory and edit the index_html as the tutorial suggests.
I also tried manually creating folders in my actual root directory (C:\) and in the zope directory (C:\Program Files\ZAcme) and I get the above error every time.
None of the files inside zope are in your "Real" directories: they're all in one file called Data.fs , which, if your zope is at ZAcme, may be found at ZAcme\Data.fs . Hope this helps, ~ ethan mindlace fremen Zopatista Community Liason
