Folks
I'm completely new to Zope, a non-programmer but at least half way
technically competent - or so I thought!
I'm trying to install Plone (now on a windows PC (XP Pro), later on RH
Linux system for real use).
As I understand it, I need to:
* Install Zope (done and running)
* Install CMF and configure (stuck here, see later)
* Install Plone (not yet attempted)
In reading the instructions I see (at least) two conflicting sets of
instructions, neither of which seem to get the result I want.
I have tried creating a Products directory (in Zope home directory),
unzipping the CMF into that (I caught the CR/LF instruction) and restarted
Zope. No sign of the CMF components.
I have also tried copying into an Install directory (in Zope home),
unzipped the CMF and then tried to import.
I have the Zope Book if that helps!
So here are a few questions:
What IS the correct way to install the CMF )on Windows first, then on a RH
Linux system)?
It isn't clear what the filename that one looks to import is named. How
does one do this? Is there a source of step by step instructions?
When the CMF is unzipped, there are various directories for 'components'
(e.g Calendar), I want to install all of these, do I have to copy EACH
'component' directory and install separately? (I can't find a way to
traverse to a specific directory from the install option).
Thanks in anticipation!
