There is an 'install' script in the main Zope directory in the 1.10.2 release (you didn't mention what version of Zope you were trying).

(dmd@eco) 02:36pm ~/gzs % tar tzf Zope-1.10.2-src.tgz |grep -i install Zope-1.10.2-src/doc/INSTALL.txt Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/App/www/installedProduct.gif Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/BoboPOS/INSTALL Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/OFS/Uninstalled.py Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/Products/ZGadflyDA/gadfly/gfinstall.py Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/Components/ExtensionClass/Installation Zope-1.10.2-src/pcgi/install-sh

Ah! You're using the src release of 1.10.2, I see. That is why there is no install script, because things are different with a source release. First, a binary release comes with, surprise surprise, binaries of the various Zope python extensions, but it also comes with a binary of pcgi and a binary of python all to itself. The only preperation necesary is to run 'install'. The source release comes only with python and C code. You must use your own python and compile your own pcgi. You do this by running one of two files that compile everything: 'wo_pcgi.py' will set you up to use ZopeHTTPServer or ZServer, and 'w_pcgi.py' will make you a Zope.cgi file for pcgi to use (and thus apache). So you were right in the first place, there should be something in the docs that say to use Zap with a source release you must run 'w_pcgi.py' first to create a Zope.cgi file. -Michel

I don't see any install script...
