[Zope] Zserver installation on Win95

[Tom Deprez]

Hi,

I've created a hosts file from the hosts.sam file.... so it exists.

In there localhost is defined, including the other names of the PC's.

So the error is there also when a hosts file is defined...

:-((((((((((( snif.

I believe that the problem is that medusa's ftp server wants to look up the
hostname of the server machine. On Win95 machines which are not connected
to a network this fails. 

I think that this can be fixed by adding an entry in your Win95 hosts file
(\windows\hosts) like so:

127.0.0.1    localhost

If I recall correctly, I think that a hosts file doesn't exist by default
on Win95 machines. But there may be a sample hosts file in \windows\hosts.sam.

That said, I think that medusa's ftp server shouldn't have to make this
host name lookup. I am looking at implementing a fix/work around for this
and submitting it to Sam Rushing.

I'll also add this information to the ZServer INSTALL.txt file.
