Advice needed: completely scrubbing zope from win2k server
I managed to get Zope working again on different machine than the one I was experiencing difficulties with (still experiencing, actually), and proved to myself that the database does in fact work. On the assumption that it's something in a botched install or registry entry, I'm planning to completely scrub zope from the server, and reinstall. That in mind, what sections of the registry and file system do I need to go through. I'm aware of HKML/.../Services/<Zope>, but don't know if that's sufficient: I've tried straight uninstall/reinstall and the problem persisted. My goals: reinstall zope, re-import the VHOSTS folder and recreate the access rule, move zope to port 80 (existing IIS website on 80 to move to 8080). I'd prefer ZOPE as a service, but things aren't looking pretty for it so far, since it automatically tries installing as 8080 and my attempts to change the port have not worked well. ... Advice?

I can't help with that.

I've never had a problem (on NT4) changing the port in z2.py after istalling Zope as a service. But I don't use IIS. -- Loren
Changing the Zope port when running as an NT service is straightforward. All you have to do is find the registry entry under hklm/currentcontrolset/services/<servicename>/parameters/start where <servicename> is the name you gave your Zope install (default is 'website'), from the default to something along the lines of: <zopedir>/bin/python.exe <zopedir>/z2.py -S -X -w <http port> -f <ftp port> by changing http port there it will run as a service and on any port you specify quite happily. This is my registry key: "C:\ZOPE24~1\bin\python.exe" "C:\ZOPE24~1\z2.py" -S -X -w 9080 -f 9021 if that helps at all. hth Phil phil.harris@zope.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith J.
