[Zope] Zope on SuSE 8.2 -- What initial user name and password do Iuse?

[Slack, Stephen]

Hi Paul,

I have set up 3 Suse 8.0 machines with Zope. One at my office and 2 at home (Sad, I know). Two of them I managed to connect straight to by setting up a new password with the zpasswd.py script in /opt/zope/utilities on Suse. The 3rd installation was a real bind. Nothing I did seemed to cure it. My final solution was to download the latest stable version of Zope, remove the original zope package with yast and reinstall the downloaded version. 

The installation was dead easy. As part of the process, Zope provides the admin user and passwd. Not an ideal solution.....but it was driving me up the wall and there did not seem to be many answers anywhere, just users with the same question!

One positive side to this is that I have a machine at home running the most up-to-date version :-) Downside is that I lost the ability to "rczope start". Not a big problem as there is a start script in the Zope directory. If I ever get round to it, I will copy the rczope script from one of my other machines.

Hope this helps.

I've got Zope running but when I go to localhost:8080/manage I get a
dialogbox wanting a user name and password.  I didn't know what it was
wanting so I created an "access" file using zpasswd.py but apparently it
doesn't see this file because when I enter the user name and password that
I put in the access file zope just regenerates the prompt dialogbox.

I have made sure that I enter username/password exactly as found in the
access file, I've tried copying th access file into the zope directory,
that had no positive effect so I copied it into the zserver directory and
that had no positive effect either.

Could some kind soul please tell me how to get into Zope?

Thanks for any help that might be offered.

Paul
