Sounds like you are on the right path.

Also, join some of the mailing lists.

Well, I am still trying to get this ZOPE to work. I did find that the router remote access was using port 8080 so I edited the zope conf file to use 9090 and opened this port up and restarted zope. It runs and I am able to login in.

However, I am still unable to run it as a Windows service but worst of all is that I still cannot access it from the internet or from any machine on my network. I can only access the ZOPE by typing in http://localhost:9090/manage. I should be able to get on another computer and type in http://192.168.0.107:9090/manage and be able to access it. No way.

I also tried signing up for the mailing list on the www.zope.org site. No luck. Can't get access or subscript.

I called Zope Corp. for help but the Sales person said they could not help or even point me in the right direction.

I am getting very discouraged. I purchased two book on zope. They do not answer the setup problem or internet problems. Also I have tried following the documentation in the website but it is incorrect also and does not work.

Any suggestions????

This is not a Zope issue. If it is running on your machine and you can get to it from localhost, Zope is good to go.

This is a networking issue somewhere between your machine configuration and my guess a firewall that is blocking those ports from the outside.

Edit zope.conf and change the line in the server block from:

<server>
type HTTP
address 8080
</server>

to

<server>
type HTTP
address 192.168.0.107:9090
</server>

You wont be able to use localhost:9090 anymore, just use your full IP. It took me ages to solve the same problem, there is no documentation on it anywhere!

I have plone 2.5 functioning on windows xp and have followed http://zope-europe.org/scl/2006/04/25/z3-install/z3-install.html
screencast exactly. I've ported to 9090 and have duplicated on a networked windows xp with 8080 open on all firewalls as well. From cmd.exe c:\zopesites\z32\bin\runzope I get the following error:
C:\zopesites\z32>bin\runzope
Error: 'formatter' is not a known key name
(line 103 in file://///C:\zopesites\z32\etc\zope.conf)
For help, use c:\zopesites\z32\bin\runzope -h
Everything works fine until this last runzope error. Does zope 2.9.4 have to be removed from all or one machine to sucessfully install 3.2?
