Hello!
I installed Zope on OpenBSD 4.0 yesterday.
Now i'm trying to install Plone which didn't (?) work out.
So here's what i did:
First i tried to compile Zope by source via the ports system which
failed because of needed X-Libaries for the tk-compilation. Anyway,
the resolution and compilation of port depencies gave me a running
python which i symlinked with the following commands:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.4 /usr/local/bin/python
ln -s /usr/local/bin/pydoc2.4 /usr/local/bin/pydoc
Afterwards, i successfully installed python-expat and expat via the
packages system. Packages are:
python-expat-2.4.3p0.tgz ...which depends on
expat 2.0.0.tgz
without the python-expat i wasn't possible to start the zopectl via
the terminal at a later point (mean after successful install of zope).
I installed Zope 2.8.6-final.tgz via the package system which automatically
sets up a user & group for _zope and gave me the following output on my
terminal:

--- zope-2.8.6p0 -------------------
This package uses the INSTANCE_HOME installation method, as described at
http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/instancehome. This allows you to install
the
Zope package once and create as many sites as you want without changing
your
core Zope installation.
Have a look at /usr/local/lib/zope/doc/README.OpenBSD
to see how to create your instance and have it start at boot time.

In README.OpenBSD is the first problem i got. It says:
<quote>
In this document we'll see how to create a zope instance and have it
start at boot time. Throughout this document, we will assume that the
instance you want will be located in /var/www under the name of 'zope'.
Our instance will thus be /var/www/zope.
1) Creating your instance
- run /usr/local/lib/zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py to create your instance:
# /usr/local/lib/zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py
Please choose a directory in which you'd like to install
Zope "instance home" files such as database files, configuration
files, etc.
Directory: /var/www/zope
Please choose a username and password for the initial user.
These will be the credentials you use to initially manage
your new Zope instance.
Username: zopeadmin
Password:
Verify password:
- as we want to run our instance(s) with the _zope user, we should
grant him the rights on the log/ and var/ directories.
# chown _zope /var/www/zope/{log,var}

As far as i have read the documentation of plone, the mkzopinstancy.py
shouldn't be executed as root. I did it at a first installation of zope,
but after reading the docs on plone.org i removed the whole package which
deleted all files installed by itself and reinstalled the whole zope pkg.
so i did it run mkzopeinstance.py as an unprivileged user, but not as the
www (which is default for apache on OpenBSD) or _zope user.
I was able to install it and to gain access to the websurface.
Here is my Zope Control Panel Info:
Zope Version (Zope 2.8.6-final, python 2.4.3, openbsd4)
Python Version 2.4.3 (#1, Aug 31 2006, 18:24:01) [GCC 3.3.5 (propolice)]
System Platform openbsd4
SOFTWARE_HOME /usr/local/lib/zope/lib/python
ZOPE_HOME /usr/local/lib/zope
INSTANCE_HOME /var/www/zope
CLIENT_HOME /var/www/zope/var
Network Services ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_server (Port: 8080)
So afterwards, i downloaded the Plone-2.0.5 Tarball and extracted it in my
working directory. After downloading the additional needed ...
Five-1.2.6.tgz
Imaging-1.1.5.tar.gz
jpegsrc.v6b
zlib-1.2.3
elementtree-1.2.6-20050316.tar.gz
- I replaced Five in the Extraction-Dir with the downloaded Five-1.2.6
- compiled jpegsrc and put the compiled files to my
/usr/local/corresponding_dirs
- compiled Imaging-1.1.5 with jpg and png support, mv'd the dir to
extracted Plone2.0.5/
- extracted zlib-1.2.3 and mv'd the dir to extracted Plone2.0.5/
- extracted elementree-1.2.6* and mv'd the dir to extracted Plone2.0.5/
Following the Readme i moved the directories under Plone2.0.5/ to my
$INSTANCE_HOME/Products directory and restarted Zope. Actually, i do have
Plone-specific Products like BTreeFolder2 or Plone Language Tool in my
Droplist,
but no "Add Plone Site".
My actual zopectl fg is at /home/arcor.de/hasann/public/zope_fg.txt
Zope gave me a big error log which i added under
http://home.arcor.de/hasann/public/zope.log,
but it's similar to the output of zopectl fg.
My /var/www/zope directory is listed in
http://home.arcor.de/hasann/public/zopetree.txt
perhaps i just messed up the rights?
Any Advices welcome!
Thanx in Advance,
Mr. Sun
