Hi, there, I'm testing some products for 3.0. It's possible/likely that a number of the products I'm trying just won't work in 3.0. I understand that. But I'm experiencing problems related to simple installs having to do with the plone interface.
First, I tried installing ContentLicensing, but apparently that doesn't work with 3.0. It shows up in prefs_install_products_form after I place it in Products directory, but clicking the install box doesn't work. In fact, when I restart, zope won't even run unless ContentLicensing is removed from the Products directory. Now here's the odd thing. Even after I remove the ContentLicensing product directory, it still appears in ZMI in /Control_Panel/Products as "INSTALLED." Also, in plone_control_panel, apparently there is a space for Add On Product configuration. I still see multiple lines that says Content Licensing (perhaps for each unsuccessful time I tried installing). Now here's what I'm wondering: 1)is it common for zope to fail to start when a plone product fails to install? (That would not seem to be a clean failure to me) 2) is deleting the phantom references at /Control_Panel/Products necessary and/or sufficient? (I see several products listed here which I tried unsuccessfully to install earlier). One other problem just to make things interesting. I'm still getting used to the plone 3 environment on my shared hosting at webfaction. But restarting zope is taking a while (as long as a minute) Also, I'm getting strange error messages like this about core products: 2007-09-03T12:34:48 WARNING Application Duplicate Product name: After loading Product 'PluginRegistry' from '/home2/me/webapps/2plone30/Zope/Products', I skipped the one in '/home2/me/webapps/2plone30/Zope-2.10.4-final.instance/Products'. ------ 2007-09-03T12:34:48 WARNING Application Duplicate Product name: After loading Product 'PortalTransforms' from '/home2/me/webapps/2plone30/Zope/Products', I skipped the one in '/home2/me/webapps/2plone30/Zope-2.10.4-final.instance/Products'." Webfaction's configuration uses a symbolic link from /home/me/webapps/2plone30/Zope to /home/me/webapps/2plone30/Zope-2.10.4-final.instance/ Somewhere, zope is picking up that it needs to check both paths, and that is causing the error message. (in zope.conf I have %define INSTANCE and %define ZOPE but both are referencing the symbolic links ). checking the zmi config information, ZOPE_HOME is the actual path but INSTANCE_HOME goes to the symbolic path /home/me/webapps/2plone30/Zope-2.10.4-final.instance/ I don't see anywhere in zope.conf or site.conf or anything in the etc directory that might allow me to specify a path. (it may be because of the shared hosting environment). I was wondering whether this duplicate path error might have something to do with the other product install errors. What do you think? Thanks.
