Zope problems

[Michael Richter]

I've been a fan of Zope since I encountered it a long time ago.  I've been
able to install and run it in various versions under Windows with no trouble
ever.  With Ubuntu, the first Linux distro that has actually begun to
supplant my Windows system, I thought it would be a snap, given that Zope
is, after all, mostly a Unix-oriented environment.  So, I installed
Zope 2.7and the sandbox.  Oops.

The bottom line is that I can't get this to work at all.  I install
Zope 2.7and the sandbox.  The latter asks me for a username and
password as well as
a port to execute on.  I give it one.  I hit that port in my browser and I
get the blurb screen.  I try to hit the management console.  It asks for a
username and password.  I naively give it the one I told it to use.  It
refuses to accept it.

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Zope 2.7 (with and without the
sandbox) and, in fact, out of desperation, several other versions of Zope (
2.6-3.0).  Each time the result is the same.  Sandbox doesn't let me do
anything and, if I install without sandbox, I can't even get a Zope instance
to accept a connection.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I try to run from
(my account or sudoed) when setting upan instance.  It doesn't seem to
matter whether I have sandbox in place or not.  I just can't get Zope to
work.  With sandbox I can get the opening blurb and nothing else.  Without
sandbox I can't even get it to accept connections.

Can anybody let me know what the trick is to get Zope running under Ubuntu?
Or point to a set of (Ubuntu-relevant) instructions that help out?  (The
instructions in the Zope book from zope.org don't work.)
