Hi, I am trying to get Zope running on SuSE 9. I get it running okay when I install it from the SuSE 9 CD and start it with '/etc/init.d/zope start' but cannot get signed into the http://local:8080/manage page that is the first step in managing Zope. Mozilla opens an authentication form window but the authentication fails. I am trying to sign in using the default user 'superuser' and password '123'. It fails every time. I even did a complete reinstall of my entire SuSE 9 system Zope does not recognize user 'superuser' with password '123'. Any ideas? Perhaps a Zope configuration file I need to configure? Or something I need to put into Zope's environment? Stuck on this for 48 hours now. Please help. Thanks, Roger :-|
This worked, I dumped the Zope and Python stuff that I had installed from my SuSE 9 CDs from my SuSE installation and installed the latest stable Zope binary from zope.org (it includes a Python2.1 in it) and followed the installation instructions from the Zope Book: http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/InstallingZope.stx THIS WORKED on my SuSE 9 Pro system on my Pentium III server: (0) Remove all my Zope and Python stuff from my system with SuSE 9's Yast > Software > Install and Remove Software > Filter > Search 'python' (and again with 'zope'). Then, (1) Create a 'zope' user with # useradd -d /opt/zope (2) Create 'zope's home dir # mkdir /opt/zope # chown zope:users /opt/zope (3) Give user 'zope' a system password with # passwd zope (enter a password you can remember here) (4) Unpack the downloaded binary (downloaded from zope.org) in the /opt/zope dir. Move it there first if that is not where it is. # tar -xvzf Zope-2.6.2-linux2-x86.tgz (5) IMPORTANT! Change ownership of everything (recursively, option -R) in /opt/zope to user 'zope' group 'users' # chown -R zope:users /opt/zope/* (6) Logged out 'root' and back in as 'zope' ...tap tap tap (takes me to user 'zope's home dir -- /opt/zope) (7) Install Zope $ ./install (Yes! it worked. But only after I had chowned everything (recursively -R) / opt/zope to 'zope:users'.) IMPORTANT! Note the username and password shown by the installer. You need them to sign into Zope's Web interface. --------------------------------- afterthoughts... ----------------------------------------- Why not chown /opt/zope dir itself to 'zope:users'? $ su [root password] # chown zope:users /opt/zope # exit Hmm.. should the group be 'users'? Someone please advise me if it should be something else :--) For this installation of Zope I will use Zserver instead of Apache. Now.. can I sign into the browser based management window? :-/ (http://myserver:8080/manage1) (0) Start Zope (logged in a 'zope') $ /opt/zope/start (cool, it starts!) (1) On my desktop computer (Zope is running on my server computer) login to the Zope's Wed manage interface -- start up Mozilla and go to, http://myserver:8080/manage Sign in.. Failed! Ouch! I sign in again and *cut and paste* the password from the installer's terminal output on my luckilly still open server terminal window into the browser authentication window... Yes! Now THAT Works! I'm IN THE ZOPE ADMIN WEB PAGE! .. it was a dicey password to type in by hand on my goofy DataHand keyboard 8=) Hope this helps someone. Took me THREE DAYS to get to this point! :-| Roger :-)

Have you set it up before? If so, any passwords (data, too) you set up before have been preserved.

I have read a number of messages (plus info on the web) regarding vmware 4 and suse 9.0 indicating that the combination can be made to work. Just want to make sure I have the procedure correct. I am going to do a clean install of 9.0 (saving my virtual disk from my Windows NT virtual machine). As part of that install I wil inlude km_vmware, the SuSE kernel modules (even though they are for vmware 3) After I install vmware and run vmware-config.pl, i will be asked If i want to overwrite teh modules. I reply no, and then it will complete the installation. Is this correct? Previously I have received the message, under 8.2, that the no previously compiiled module will run, do i want to compile a new module. It then asks for header files and compiles new modules. i always assumed that if I answered no, the installation would stop. Apparently this is not the case. Thanks. Mike -- Michael A.

So what your saying is, that those uf us who have machines that require acpi to get all the periferals to work (most modern laptops) just have to accept the disappearance of sound, pcmcia, network cards, usb ports, etc in order to run Vmware?

I have a Compaq laptop that was giving me fits with sound and vmware. I finally added the pci=noacpi apic parameters to the boot string and now I have sound and can run vmware. Prior to that if I tried to configure sound the machine would lock solid instantly and vmware would always give an error when trying to launch it.

I don't think either of the above is true... But if you can get it to work, then go with it.

Maybe on his machine. I have VMWare4.0.5 installed in SUSE9.0 on my laptop WITH acpi on and it works 100%. I tried it with acpi=off and got no difference in the performace or useability of VMWare. C.

I just went through this hell this afternoon... and I do believe I now have it working... (but only a little time will tell) 1) I did a fresh install of 9.0. 2) I loaded vmware 4.0.5 from the rpm VMware provides.

Then I let the config overwrite those files. 4) VMware fired up but within a minute the entire VMW machine hung. Not just the guest but the VMWARE process. Killed it. 5) I then went and switched the modules from the compiled ones to the ones that came with 9.0. 6) VMWare fired up but again hung within a minute or so of running. At this point I was left with only boot parms being a possible answer.

ditto

4) VMware fired up but within a minute the entire VMW machine hung. Not just the guest but the VMWARE process. Killed it.
Mine died when I tried to re-size the screen. Killed it but vmware still believed the processes were there. It wouldn't let me re-start the machine, (not enough RAM) Nor would it let me re-start the vmware daemons, with/etc/init.d/vmware restart, (processes still running) So I had to reboot each time.
5) I then went and switched the modules from the compiled ones to the ones that came with 9.0. 6) VMWare fired up but again hung within a minute or so of running.
Yes, that's the short version, but yes.
At this point I was left with only boot parms being a possible answer. (and I had been trying to get VMW to run on two different machines, one scsi and Athlon based and the other Intel P4 and IDE based.)
I tried the following parms:
apic apm=off nosmp acpi=off
Of those, I think apic was already on the boot line and I added the last 3. Of the last three, I suspect the acpi=off is the important one.
Saying just "apic" on the boot line seemed to work for me.

It never did, as far as I know. I've run it since 3.x on my dual machine with no problem. All you need do is cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h before you install Vmware. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Time told a painfully silent story, I've been in no-network purgatory for 2 days. I must admit, I'm completely confused between "apic" and "acpi". In /var/log/messages it says: <5>ACPI: Skipping APIC setup <4>Building zonelist for node : 0 <4>Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda5 vga=0x31a desktop hdd=ide-scsi hddlun=0 splash=verbose So they're related but ??? Anyway, whichever I had in my boot line it kills the network card. Things look OK, the computer boots fine, the link lights come up green on card and switch. The network even works for a while, then goes flakey, until if I try to do anything, even a ping, the switch drops back to re-negotiating the link. (Orange status light instead of green) This is with Intel cards both Pro1000T and with Pro100T. Using YaST chosen e1000 and e100 drivers respectively. Motherboard is Asus P4 with a SIS chipset. The switch is a Cisco. OS is, of course, Suse 9.0 A Suse tech note suggests I may be unable to run VMware. http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/10/fhassel_vmware_segfault81.html It says, "In some cases in connection with certain hardware, the use of the kernel parameter 'apic' may result in an unstable Linux system. In these cases, you will not be able to use the application VMware with kernels included in SuSE Linux version 8.1 or higher." Other people report VMware running with "noapic". Let's hope my mileage varies. I need to do a presentation, in Powerpoint cos the lecture theater computer will be windows. Am I better pushing to get vmware back or using Open Office? Can Open Office write a powerpoint readable document reliably? michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166

This is (was) documented somewhere in the SuSE web page. It was on the features for SuSE 8.1/8.2. It should be on the SDB, but I don't know if they did. A nice writeup it was.

I think it can produce web pages, that need an apache server or something to display. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

OpenOffice can produce PP documents, it will complain about not using it's format but it does work. Ken
