Hello, I heard Paulo Jorge de Oliveira Cantante de Matos said:

This is supposedly done like this: ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-zope/zope-2.6.0-r1/zope-2.6.0-r1.ebuild config This Didn't Work(tm) for me, though, so I just did it manually. As root: cd /usr/share/zope/2.6.0 python zpasswd.py -u admin -p MySeekritPassword inituser There, you're all set. The admin password will let you do things through the Zope Management Interface. This is pretty important. :) 2) Then the proper way to start zope is: /etc/init.d/zope start If for some reason you want to do it manually, just do: python2.1 /usr/share/zope/2.6.0/z2.py -u root For the details: Zope is written in Python. This can be compiled for standalone distribution, but it's generally not worth it. The 'executable' is thus a Python program, namely z2.py. Note that we explicitely start it with python2.1. The current stable release of Python is version 2.2, but Zope is based on 2.1, and while it Should Work with Python 2.2 it's just easier not to bother and run it with 2.1. There, I guess that's about it. Hope this helps. Enjoy your shiny new Zope server. This thing Kicks Serious Ass. -- S. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
