Hello,<br>
<br>
I am using Dapper but the symptoms were present in the sarge and breezy distribs.<br>
<br>
I cannot run a zope instance that offers to create a Plone instance. I
install zope through aptitude and I create a zope instance with
/usr/lib/zope2.8/bin/mkzopeinstance.py. I called the instance perso in
/var/lib/zope2.8/instance/<br>
<br>
Then I installed plone with aptitude and notice that it lands in /usr/share/zope/Products.<br>
<br>
What should I do next?<br>
* add a line "products /usr/share/zope/Products" in /etc/zope2.8/perso/zope.conf?<br>
This does not work : once zope is re-launched there still is no
possibility to add a Plone instance from the ZMI. (if I launch it with
runzope, it complains shortly about /usr/share/.../kupu, then I guess
it found the products).<br>
<br>
* copy /usr/share/zope/Products/* into /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/perso/Products?<br>
I comment the added line in zope.conf, I restart zope. This does not
seem to work either. No new entries in the drop down list in the ZMI.<br>
<br>
* install plone-site from aptitude? and indeed there is an entry in the ZMI of the newly created zope instance. <br>
The package plone site seems to copy its products in
/var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/. What I can do now is copy every
folders from the plone-site/Products to perso/Products. It does add
line plone site in the drop down list of the ZMI. <br>
<br>
This seems a bit awkward, what doc can I read, what can I do to help?<br>
<br>
What is the correct procedure to add/test new product (say CMFphotoslide) from the debian/ubuntu repositories?<br>
<br>
Shoud I file a bug in Launchpad?<br>
<br>
Thank you, (thanks also for having repaired the python-xml package), <br>
