Zope Post-Installation Notes:                        18-May-02

Credit where credit is due:
---------------------------

This package is based on the Zope 2.4.3 RPMs Packaged by:
Jeff Rush <jrush@taupro.com>

Thanks Jeff!


Initial Administrator Username and Password:
-------------------------------------------

The default administrator username is 'admin' and password is '123'.
These are set in the /var/zope/inituser file. Zope imports this 
user account into the ZODB and then deletes the inituser file on 
startup. 

The old /var/zope/access method is not implemented by this package.


Starting and Stopping Zope:
--------------------------

Upon installing the Zope RPMs, your system is configured to start
Zope web service automatically upon system bootup.  If you wish to
start manually, enter the command:

    /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start

To stop web service, enter the command:

    /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope stop


Log Files:
----------

Zserver logs to /var/log/zope directly by default. If you wish to
use syslog you'll need to edit /var/zope/zserver.sh and uncomment:
#export ZSYSLOG="/dev/log"

By default, zserver logs errors and web hits via syslog using 
facility USER, priority INFO.


Accessing Zope from your Browser:
--------------------------------

The default setting of the Zope-zserver RPM is to begin listening
for HTTP requests on port 8080, and FTP requests on port 8021.
The monitor service is initially disabled, for security reasons.
To alter these port assignments or enable the monitor service,
edit the Zope startup script /var/zope/zserver.sh, changing the
arguments passed to the z2.py python program.  For the specific
arguments to change, see the source for /var/zope/z2.py.

To begin using Zope with the default settings for ZServer, point
your browser to:

    http://localhost:8080/


PCGI Support
------------

PCGI support is not installed by this package. There are some 
nasty circular dependancy problems that come up if you try to
package a PCGI build with rpm. (contributed solutions welcome!)

As this package effectively "wraps up" the default install, it 
should still be possible to build and install PCGI if you need it.
A README that may be of some help appears at: /usr/share/zope/pcgi/
