If you're installing Zope on Windows, have followed all the steps, but you still cannot access the management screens, or the management screens misbehave, try upgrading to the latest version of IE 5.5, or try Mozilla or Netscape. There are caching bugs in some of the earlier IE 4 and 5 builds. I upgraded to the latest IE 5.5 and had no issues. Under Linux I had similar issues with Mozilla, but later Mozilla builds fixed the caching bugs. If localhost won't resolve under Windows, you probably don't have a HOSTS file in your Windows directory � this is an issue with the toy versions of Windows, not NT or W2K. Create a HOSTS file and put in an entry for localhost. ******* Now I know this advice is for Zope but I think it applies here too. The proper place for the hosts file on Windows is C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc. Make sure it has this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost Or perhaps your problem is even more obscure.

IE and Netscape I know the answer to this question must be fairly simple, but I have no idea why this is happening? I am on windows 2000 pro platform, I have tomcat started. I have both IE 6.0.2 and Netscape 6.2.1. When I call servlets with my browser in Netscape I can call them by simply typing: http://localhost:8080/servlet/Servlet_Name, but, with IE I have to type my IP addresss it won't automatically resolve localhost to IP? can anyone please tell me why? thanks -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
