[Zope] changing port from 9673 default

[George Perry]

Dylan:

I installed Zope using apt-get from Debian testing.  I am using the Libranet
distribution.

I don't have a /etc/conf.d directory.  

When I invoke "locate zope|grep conf", I do not see anything that looks like
a application configuration file.

The debian Zope application documentation points to /etc/zopectl/zopectlrc
as the Zope application configuration file.  This file has a line which
appears to be setting the Zope server port to the Debian Zope package
default 9f 9673.  However, changing the 9673 value and restarting Zope has
no affect on port redirection - the Zope default welcome page is still
available only on the 9673 port.

Mr. Cooper's suggestion to use iptables to accomplish port redirection meets
my needs while I work out the wrinkles involved with putting Zope behind a
proxy web server.

The only other issue is if I should submit a Debian package bug report.  I
am new to Debian, and I am hesitant to do this - but that is probably an
issue for another forum.

Thank you,
George Perry

If this is a package installation, your port might be hard-coded
somewhere such as /etc/conf.d/zope.  

FWIW,
