[Zope] 2.01 will not run on NT4

Hi Jim -
I got it working now. I didn't have it running as a service, but from a
shortcut on the desktop that pointed to the real start.bat. Thinking it was
a typical shortcut generated command prompt window I was closing it after
seeing it produce it's startup messages. This was apparently closing Zope...
I've never seen a window need to stay open like this before so just followed
my nose. Something should be added to the install notes about this. Is there
a place I could suggest this?
Thanks to everyone for helping out.

Don't know if localhost works elsewhere, never tried it. We set this machine
up
strictly to be an SSL front end to Zope. The data we have to access for our
project is in Visual FoxPro tables so we had to use a windows machine for
the
ODBC connectivity with ZODBCA.
I rarely access zope on the machine from the machine. It is sitting in our
server room upstairs across the parking lot with a 100mbit connection to the
database server and the router attached to our T1.
When in the office I access it across the network and at home (where I do
most
of my programming) I access it via a dialup directly to the router.
We do not run Zope 2 as an NT service. We had problems (the exact nature of
which I don't currently remember) running it as an NT service so we just run
it
as a regular program that sits down on the task bar. That is all this
machine
does - runs IIS 4.0 with SSL solely accessing Zope via zope.pcgi. The
default.htm for IIS takes you right to the top index_html for Zope which
immediately makes you log in. If you fail login you are redirected to our
public
website which is on another machine (which is contolled by the marketing
department)
Zope is installed in a directory under Program Files (not under Inetpub).
The
zope.pcgi file is installed in the IIS wwwroot\scripts directory.

Wow, this is really starting to spook me, I didn't think getting Zope to run
was going to be such a big deal. Is the rest of the program this
busted/cantankerous?
I tried your suggestion but it came back with the same response - basically
nothing is there.
When you said that on your NT box localhost didn't work either do you mean
that localhost doesn't work at all or only as a means to access Zope? On my
rig localhost works fine, but adding the 8080: thing seems to mean nothing
to it.
Thanks

try http://123.456.789.123:8080/manage instead (where 123.456.789.123 is
replace
with the nT machine's ip address). My NT box doesn't seem to recognize
localhost
and this works for me. That would probably change if I created a hosts file
in
the system32 dir but since the other works I have never gotten around to it.

This is related to running Zope behind a seperate Web server, like IIS.

A seperate webserver connects to Zope via a small CGI script, so Zope
itself doesn't need to be, and shouldn't be, in a published directory.
However, a default install of Zope doesn't install itself to run behind a
server, but to run behind ZServer. The output from start.bat indicates it
is running fine.
It seems you don't have any default content in your object database. Just
add /manage to the URL, like so:
http://localhost:8080/manage
And you can start adding objects. The fact that no default content is
provided is however a bug. If you want to have default content, see if the
file Data.fs.in exists in the var subdir, and copy that to Data.fs (which
is the objetc database file).
