Im not familiar with any ./install tool. Whats that?

That looks good.

Make sure you have the -D switch in ./start (I think its the default) to turn 
on debug mode. zope will not run in the background, and you should see event 
log output. Is there anything of interest in there? (Im happy to take a look 
if you send it direct to me)

That line suggests that zope sent a 401 response, requesting that your browser 
prompts for a password. DirectoryStorage has worked well enough to load the 
root folder, user folder, and many other objects. Im not sure why that 
response didnt make it back to your browser :-(

Is this an empty DirectoryStorage, or one that has content copied from your 
FileStorage?
