Um, perhaps a stupid question, but since you are talking about files - is this a Zope object that is in the Zope object database or is it a file that is on your file system? If the last, it will not work. Zope keeps it's objects (files) in it's own database, the ZODB. It is zopehome/var/data.fs. You can't read it directly, it is an object database No these are not files but objects in the database. another thing i havent understood is that zope.org is running on zope, then why they donot have url based on 8080. if they are using pcgi then the url must have been http://zope.org/zope.cgi/index_html isnt this so? No, apache let's you circumvent this. i also want my url to be simply on http://localhost, what do i need to do for this. Zope has it's built in webserver, called ZServer. It will run on any port, as long as you have the right privileges. If you want to change the port, change zopehome/z2.py It is heavily commented. Look for the http port section, it shouldn't be a problem. Rik if i donot run the httpd but run only the Zserver then http://localhost will work? ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Are you absolutely, positively sure that you use the DTML source you published here? I mean are you sure that the action attribute of the form tag is pointing to the right method? Or is it perhaps possible that the source in the print method somehow was changed? Please check twice, I made similiar mistakes in the past.

You get a beautifully formated view of the complete HTTP Request send by the browser. Often this helps to analyse such problems.

At least under Unix all ports up to 1024 are priviledged. Only servers running as root can bind to them. For security reasons, you probably would not like to run Zope as root. Today, I read in the list, that even if you start Zope as root, the actual ZServer uses a different user (to be configured). Then this would remove the above mentioned security issues. If this is indeed true, you may try to use Zope with port 80. There is an option to "z2.py" which allows you to specify which port to use for the HTTP server.

Digital Creations is aware of this. ps: dont kick me out, everybody has to have a start. We are all gentle tolerant people here. Well, most of the time.

Do you see the source? Or is only the dtml-var valname part not displayed?
