[Zope-CMF] help stop me going crazy (pcgi, skins, nt)

[Byl Walker]

All right, this is a shot in the dark, but have you looked in the skins
folders to see if there is anything in them (the default ones).  Every
time I move stuff from one machine to another, I find that the default
skins don't transport with them, so I have to delete the one that is
there and reinstall it with the "File Directory View" from the drop-down
menu.

Hi folks.

For reasons I won't bother going into, I have to deploy a CMF developed
on linux to an NT box.

The old skins problem is of course occuring (the one where platform
sepcific separators are used).  I visit the skins tool properties sheet
to try and fix it, press go, and everything goes pop.

If I try to view the root of the site, I get 

  Error Type: AttributeError
  Error Value: DATTemplates   <--- this is the CMF site name
  <snip>
  File E:\DATTemplates4\lib\python\OFS\ObjectManager.py, line 290, in   
  _getOb

(some kind of traversal problem?)

If I try to view the CMFSite itself (DATTemplates), I get a "object is
not callable: None" TypeError, originating in Skinnable.py:

  File E:\DATTemplates4\lib\python\Products\CMFCore\Skinnable.py, line 
  175, in __of__

It's really late, I can't work out what's going on, and when I copy back
my old Data.fs I don't seem to be able to get Zope to reload it, thanks
to my complete ignorance about how pcgi works.  I've tried stopping and
starting IIS several times, but I have had to end up installing a whole
new instance of zope, which takes a while over ISDN / pcanywhere...

So - any suggestions about that error?  Pleeeeease?  And any suggestions
about how to restart the pcgi process?  Is it a separate process?  I
can't see it anywhere.

Tired, confused and desparate,

seb
