Ahem... Basic thing here, I'm sure it's real simple : Where does 'body' come from? And how is that script then called from the Page Template?

If it's that simple, great!

Body is from the object. It is the body of the post.

I am very new at this so please bear with me. I am working to try to figure out how to use this product. I download Python 2.4 for Windows and intalled. OK. Then I downloaded the http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope3/3.3.0b1/Zope-3.3.0b1.win32-py2.4.exe
and installed it. OK. Well Zope did install in the Python24 directory but I figured out how to create and instance and to get Zope running in a CMD Window Only. (It did not set up the Zope program to run as a service.) OK.

Next, I added a folder to Zope and in the folder I added an image. OK

Now my Questions:
1. How do you get Zope to run as a Window's Service???? The documentation said the install program was to do this but it did not. The install program did not create any uninstall options, did not create an instance, and did not set the Zope program as a service.

2. How do you get to Zope from the internet???
I was able to access my image with a URL command in the browser on the computer Zope is running on. So I could issue "http://localhost/manage" or http://localhost:8080/Test Folder/My Image" and everything worked. I could also issue the same commands with http://127.0.0.1:8080/.... prefix and everything worked fine. But if I switch to another computer on the same network with http://192.168.0.107:8080/....as a prefix then nothing works. (Cannot display page) Or if I try to access via the internet nothing works. (http://mywebsite:8080/...etc)

How do you get access to Zope via the internet? I know all 8080 ports are open so it is not a firewall issue. Do I have to set up an Apache rewrite??? I understand the Zope had a http server and could listen for itself on different ports.

Zope tells me its listening on 8080 but only for localhost access only.

Any suggestions?

A lot of questions.

1) Zope should install as a service on your windows box, but maybe not that release (3.3.b1) Try a more stable release.

2) That is a network configuration issue. The server needs to be able to see the internet, not have any blocked ports and have an open IP address. If you can ping the machine from the outside (IP) that is a start. Try the 8080 port as well. You can always change what port Zope is running on in the etc/zope.conf

Thanks Jake, that helps. At least I know that I am on the right path. I purchased a couple of books on Zope 3 and I am trying to learn the product. Not the easiest thing to do and understand. Some of the fog is clearing however.
