and so it starts...
I'm determined to learn zope for my next project and can't even get
past the tutorial.
Using zope v.2.16 on windows.
I get to the part where I create the 1st DTML method (index_html) and
zope reports an error:
Error Type: Bad Request
Error Value: the id index_html is invalid - it is already in use.
This is in a virtually empty system. I suspect that the problem is in
initializing the tuturial. I suspect further that the tutorial text and
graphic figures don't jibe.
The beginning of the tutorial says to create the ZAcme folder under my
root installation. I take this to mean at the main manage entry point,
rather than my literal root directory (as it says further down the
page). When I do this, the ZAcme folder shows up in the workspace but
the illustrations don't show this. I continue along and end up getting
the above error.
I also tried manually creating folders in my actual root directory (C:\)
and in the zope directory (C:\Program Files\ZAcme) and I get the above
error every time.
Help!
TIA
