Problems installing Zope and Plone

[Weiers Coetser]

 Hi

I wonder if anybody could tell me what I am doing wrong. I installed zope
2.8, and plone 2.1 via synaptic.
I also installed plone-site via synaptic. (When I installed this I was
promted for a username and password)

Now when I access: http://localhost:8081, I get a quickstart screen. When I
click on the link to the management interface (http://localhost:8081/manage)
I am promted for user name and password.

It does not accept the username and password that I typed when setting up
plone-site.
I've been googling, and at one place there was an explanation that zope sets
up an inituser file with a username and password. I found such a file under
*/var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/* with the following information in
it:
admin:{SHA}JPpU/BsXGIcv7LQrwgMiOS25PB4=

I've tried to use this in various ways: username: admin
password: {SHA}JPpU/BsXGIcv7LQrwgMiOS25PB4=

or username: {SHA}JPpU password: BsXGIcv7LQrwgMiOS25PB4=

That did not work.
I tried to create a new inituser account using the following command
weiers at weiers:/usr/lib/zope2.8/bin$ sudo python zpasswd.py inituser

and then got the following feedback:

The programme asked me for a username and a password, to repeat the
password. I also selected SHA as a mode of encrypting the password, and left
the domain restrictions blank.

Unfortunately when I try to connect to (http://localhost:8081/manage), I
still get the same problem. It won't accept my password. I tried to look for
other inituser files on my computer, but I do not see any.

-------------
I tried a further approach by creating an access file in the instance home
with an "emergencyuser" Id and password:


  $ sudo gedit /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/access
  emergency:123

This had no impact on the problem.

--------------
Then I tried:

 $ sudo /var/lib/zope2.8/plone-site/bin/zopectl
 zope> adduser admin 123
 zope> restart

Also absolutely no difference in outcome.

I am all out of ideas.

Can somebody please help!/?



----> I am really stuck. I don't know how to get plone or zope to work on my
computer.

Please help. If you help me, I promise that I will write the details into a
wiki somewhere.

Thanks
Weiers
