Hello.

I just checked out the current version of the PTK base and Demo product from CVS. I copied the files as stated in the readme.txt, and my products appear ok (not broken). When I invoke the Wizard (Portal) and fill in the information, after submitting the final page (Finish) I get a Zope IOError. Any idea what could cause this?

and

Mario, please send the traceback also. If you are not running in debug mode then it is embedded in the HTML source of the error page.

I'm *guessing* that you installed the PTK files as one user (perhaps root) and your Zope is running as another user (perhaps nobody) that does not have permission to read the files.

This rang a bell with me as I've been playing with the PTK and sometimes got the same error (but not after the end of the install of PTK - during use of some bits). This may not solve Mario's problem but is a warning I think for others who, like me, have been upgrading their Zope installs from the Zope-2.1.x-to-2.1.y.* sort of distributions. The lesson in my case: if you apply one of these upgrades _DON'T_ rename the Zope root directory like I did. You'll get all sorts of path problems and errors like the one Mario reports (again, I stress, this may not be the cause of his problem).
