Zope
 Zope is an open source content management systems which
is both very flexible and powerful. Designed using
Python, Zope uses a
Web-based interface to allow you to quickly and easily develop a content management
solution perfect for you.
Installation
To install Zope, SSH
prompt, as root to your server
and run the following command:
# vinstall zope
The Zope installation starts by checking for and installing (if they don't already exist)
some packages that are required for Zope to work. These include
Python and ZMySQLda
(which allows Zope to talk to a MySQL database). You will then be guided through some basic
configuration steps:
- For the admin password, enter a password that you or the Zope
administrator will be able to remember. When typing in the password, you won't see the
cursor move. After you enter the password once, you will need to confirm it by entering
it again.
- When asked if you want to configure an emergency access user, you
should select yes. Create the emergency user with a username and password you will be
able to remember; you will need to use the emergency user to fix your admin user if you
ever get locked out.
- When prompted to select the encryption format, you should select CRYPT, the
standard UNIX encryption method.
- Domain restrictions allow you to configure specific domains with permission to access
zope. Add any domain names you want to allow access to your Zope server (be sure to
include the one you are connecting from). You can change the domain access restrictions
later if you want to add or remove any domains from the list.
Usage
Once Zope is installed on your server, you can access the Web-based administration
section by going to the following URL:
http://YOUR-DOMAIN.NAME/zope/manage/
When prompted, use admin for the username, and the admin password you configured
during the install.
NOTE: Zope actually runs on a different port
than your web server. If you are unable to access Zope using the /zope/ path,
try connecting directly to the port:
http://YOUR-DOMAIN.NAME:8080/manage/
For help using zope and the management interface, read
the Zope Book.
