[Zope-CMF] Error creating Portal CMF1.4

[Roger Beavans]

I cannot connect directly to the CMFsite "test" under the Portals directory.
The browser times out as it did before. I connected to the Zope server via
the management interface and inspected the following directories as you
suggested.

"portal_skins/zpt_control" is not empty and contains the following items.

finish_portal_construction
reverseList (Reverse A List or Tuple and Return it)
synPropertiesForm

thanks,

The "manage_addCMFSite" (you find it in "CMFDefault/Portal.py")
creates a CMFSite instance and then redirects to
"finish_portal_contruction" for a welcome message (you
find it in "zpt_control/finish_portal_construction.pt".

It is not a good sign that this redirect fails.

To check your site, visit:

  <http://10.15.20.73:8080/Portals/test>


If this fails enter your CMFSite via the Zope Management Interface
and look around. Look especially in "portal_skins" that
the folder "zpt_control" is not empty.
