Can you access it with http://localhost:8080/ ? If not, then the server is
either not started, or started on another port. The -D setting is good,
because that means that you will see what port is used when the server is
started. It prints that in the DOS box.

> Dear Zope Group,
>
> I am trying to use Zope at home and am wondering if someone might be
> willing to help me get started. I have installed Zope 2.4.3 on my new
> windowsXP machine, but I can't access the control manager. I've tried
> the following URLs:
>    http://localhost:8080/manage
>    http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage
> and was told by my browser (IE 6.0) the "page cannot be displayed."
> Since those didn't work, I looked up my computer's hostname: I
> typed "hostname" in a command prompt and found it is "joplop-alpha."
> So then i tried:
>    http://joplop-alpha:8080/manage
> Still, "page cannot be displayed." I don't know how to change the
> hostname or where it is even located as I am very unfamiliar with
> windowsXP.
>
> When I run start.bat (as the online zope book instructs) a dos prompt
> opens containing the following information:
>    C:\Program Files\WebSite>"C:\Program Files\WebSite\bin\python.exe"
>    "C:\Program Files\WebSite\z2.py" -D
> I have read mentions of the -D being a default debugging setting which
> may need to be turned off. How do I turn it off? When I put any of those
> strings into the address area of my web browser, windows wants to know
what
> program it should use to view it.
>
> I also ran across an article which suggested one may need to create a
> HOSTS file in the windows directory. I don't know how to do that, but I
> follow directions very well.
>
> During my latest installation of Zope I told it to run as a win32 service,
> if that matters at all. I uninstalled Zope and reinstalled it twice to try
> to get it to work - once choosing the manual option instead of the win32
> service option. I have a DSL connection and I don't have any firewall
> programs running (I did have Zone Alarm enabled, but turned it of so it
> wouldn't interfere). I've looked around on zope.org and egroups' message
> archives for hours and hours now, but have found very little relating to
> this problem.
>
> I may sound like a person who has no business trying to use Zope, but I
> use it at work everyday and love it. I can't wait to get it going at
> home. Any help will be unbelievably appreciated.

> THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
