Zope problems

[Clint Tinsley]

You might take a look at edubuntu as I believe that zope3 is installed by default.  Edubuntu is the Education LTSP version of ubuntu.

I've been a fan of Zope since I encountered it a long time ago.  I've been able to install and run it in various versions under Windows with no trouble ever.  With Ubuntu, the first Linux distro that has actually begun to supplant my Windows system, I thought it would be a snap, given that Zope is, after all, mostly a Unix-oriented environment.  So, I installed Zope 2.7 and the sandbox.  Oops.

The bottom line is that I can't get this to work at all.  I install Zope 2.7 and the sandbox.  The latter asks me for a username and password as well as a port to execute on.  I give it one.  I hit that port in my browser and I get the blurb screen.  I try to hit the management console.  It asks for a username and password.  I naively give it the one I told it to use.  It refuses to accept it. 

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Zope 2.7 (with and without the sandbox) and, in fact, out of desperation, several other versions of Zope (2.6-3.0).  Each time the result is the same.  Sandbox doesn't let me do anything and, if I install without sandbox, I can't even get a Zope instance to accept a connection.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I try to run from (my account or sudoed) when setting upan instance.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I have sandbox in place or not.  I just can't get Zope to work.  With sandbox I can get the opening blurb and nothing else.  Without sandbox I can't even get it to accept connections. 

Can anybody let me know what the trick is to get Zope running under Ubuntu?  Or point to a set of (Ubuntu-relevant) instructions that help out?  (The instructions in the Zope book from zope.org don't work.)
