Here's the steps if you downloaded FreePM-0.9.1b-Zope-linux2-x86.tar.gz. Once it's extracted go into that directory and run the 'install' script. When it finishes, there will be a message that tells you the automatically generated password for the admin user. Now run 'start'. Zope should start up on your localhost on port 8080. So, in your browser you should be able to go to http://localhost:8080, then: read the Zope intro go to the management screen click on acl_users in the left frame add a user, password and give them the Role of Manager exit your browser completely. Restart your browser and login as the user your created. You are now ready to follow the import instructions in FreePM_install.txt. Then you will need to create a directory for your PDF files (see FreePM_install.txt) Actually the rest of the instructions are in FreePM_install.txt, or should be. :-) You can start FreePM with; http://localhost:8080/FreePM You can manage FreePM with; http://localhost:8080/FreePM/manage There is a FreePM/acl_users folder where you will add your users login ID's and then there is the FreePM/users folder where the provider information for each user is stored. This is covered very well in the documentation yet. You will need to perform both steps in that order so that the correct user info is used throughout FreePM. In the future, createing the employee/provider will automatically create the Zope user info too. This has just been pretty low on the priority list. ;-) That should do it. Let me know if there are problems. It would be helpful to have these questions on the discussion list so they are archived. -- Tim Cook, President - FreePM,Inc. http://www.FreePM.com Office: (731) 884-4126 ONLINE DEMO: http://www.freepm.org:8080/FreePM _______________________________________________ Freepm-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freepm-discuss
