[Zope] 2.01 will not run on NT4

[Jim Sanford]

try http://123.456.789.123:8080/manage instead (where 123.456.789.123 is replace
with the nT machine's ip address). My NT box doesn't seem to recognize localhost
and this works for me. That would probably change if I created a hosts file in
the system32 dir but since the other works I have never gotten around to it.

This is related to running Zope behind a seperate Web server, like IIS.

A seperate webserver connects to Zope via a small CGI script, so Zope
itself doesn't need to be, and shouldn't be, in a published directory.

However, a default install of Zope doesn't install itself to run behind a
server, but to run behind ZServer. The output from start.bat indicates it
is running fine.

It seems you don't have any default content in your object database. Just
add /manage to the URL, like so:

   http://localhost:8080/manage

And you can start adding objects. The fact that no default content is
provided is however a bug. If you want to have default content, see if the
file Data.fs.in exists in the var subdir, and copy that to Data.fs (which
is the objetc database file).
