Trouble Learning Zope

Greetings,

I just installed zope, version 2.6.1-10 on a debian distribution, but I
cannot get to second base. When I try to add the tutorial to a folder, I
get an error message stating that an emergency user cannot own an
object. So I clicked onto the help page and found the tutorial there.
But I got the same error when I tried to follow it. Then I created a new
user account and restarted zope. But it would not accept a login as the
new user, only as the original, 'emergency' user. As things stand, I can
bring up zope on my browser but cannot do anything in it.

I have the online version of the Zope Book but could find no reference
to an emergency user.

What can I do to straighten things out. Thanks for any help.

1. When you create the new user, make sure you've set it up for "manager"
privileges.

2. Subscribe to the zope mailing list, as this newsgroup does relatively
little support for Zope while the mailing list is the place to be...
(see the Zope web site to subscribe).

Hi there, Could you help me finding out whether Zope could be a serious technological framework for big corporation (compared to J2EE and ..Net) or not ? In the (quite very) big corporation I work in, the IT managers are wondering about the future of web technologies for our intranets. Currently, we run web applications in many technologies : heavy J2EE (EJB...), light J2EE (JSP), ASP.Net, ASP, PHP, ... Our big IT boss

Hello all, So Zope still lives, yay. Well, I like that they use Python. <rant> What amazed me is they write that they "added types to the variables and hope that it will be added to the Python project too". Really. ROFL.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
