In which case I'm not quite sure what to do about it


I'm not too familiar with the current Windows install. Does it come with a controller to set "management" and "plone" ports? You are looking for the management port.

Alternately, look in the "zope.conf" of your instance for "address" under the "http-server" section of the config (if using buildout to generate the instance, "zope.conf" can usually be found under "[buildout root]/parts/instance/etc/zope.conf"). The "address" directives will tell you which ports the instance is listening to. If it's listening to multiple ports, one of them is probably the management port.

However, it's possible that a misconfiguration is sending all ports to the Plone subdirectory. In this case, you will need to temporarily suppress the function that is causing this. There are three possible culprits so there are three different bypass routes:

To suppress an accessrule (the most likely case), set "suppress-all- access-rules" to "on" in the zope config and restart. To remove the accessrule permanently, log into the ZMI, select "Set Access Rule" in the add menu and remove the access rule.

To suppress a siteroot (very unlikely), set "suppress-all-site-roots" to "on" in the zope config and restart. To remove the siteroot permanently, find the siteroot object in the ZMI root and delete it.

To suppress a "Virtual Host Monster" mapping, access the ZMI with the raw IP address instead of the hostname. To remove a VHM mapping, find the VHM object (usually in the ZMI root, usually labeled "virtual_hosting"), navigate to its "mapping" tab, and delete the errant mapping (most folks don't use the mapping feature).
