[Zope] Zope installation woes

Thu Jul 6 05:28:46 EDT 2006

What does it mean if this is listed under ps -eLf:

zope     15601 15600 15601  0    1 Jul05 ?        00:00:05 /usr/bin/python
/usr/

...but isn't anywhere to be seen under netstat -p ?

& how do I telnet to port 8080 *on* the same machine?

Sorry :S

use the "ps" command to see that that process is still running. also
use the "netstat" command (with the -p flag (as root)) to see/confirm
what port zope is listening on.

if it's running, on port 8080, then try to telnet to port 8080, both as
"localhost:8080" and "hostname:8080" (both from the server itself).  if
both of those work, then telnet to "hostname:8080" from a "remote"
machine (e.g., the desktop machine you've been using yoru browser
from). if the telnets from the server work, but the telnet from the
"remote" host doesn't, then your issue is likely to be a firewall.
