[Zope] DUMB NEWBIE QUESTION

[Ronald L. Chichester]

I had this problem myself.  I'm using Mandrake 7.1.  There are some things to do, depending on which distribution you are using.  What I did was use KPackage to uninstall Zope.  Then you get

and follow the instuctions.  This works for RedHat and Mandrake.  Should also work for Turbo Linux and may work for others.  That should get you started.

Hope that helps.

I tried unpacking Zope Source and installing but it creates a new directory tar -xvf Zope-2.1 instead of creating a /var/zope.  Also zope starts automatically.  Are there techniques to work around this???
