[Zope] [newbie] I Can't Get Zope to Zope

[Richard Gordon]

I recently downloaded Zope to pay with on mkLinux and have yet to 
actually get it to run. Somewhere along the line, I did determine 
that I needed to rebuild Python 1.5.2 with threading enabled and got 
that done, so the Zope installation process went ok.

The problem is:
When I do ./start, things churn around for a bit, then visibly start 
to happen- first I get a PROBLEM(100) ZServer computing default 
hostname message, but then Medusa starts using hostname: localhost 
(this is just my little lan) and claims 8080, then ftp starts and 
claims 8021, then PCGI creates a socket. So far I guess we are ok, 
but then I get:
"...ZServer Monitor Server (1.5) started on port 8099" and nothing 
else like "at Wed Feb 9" etc and things just sit there.

When I try to log in to the server at 8080, the browser is 
"connecting" but eventually times out. FTP doesn't work either. If I 
do a port scan, it shows an unknown tcp service is on 8021, http is 
on 8080, and nothing is on 8099.

I'd really like to experiment with Zope but haven't gotten anywhere 
thus far. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
