Creating a simple "hello world" application using zope

[Mark Hobley]

I am using Debian Lenny and I have installed the zope3 package. I want
to create a simple "hello world" page for display using the inbuilt web
server.

As root, I try to start the zope package as follows:

/etc/init.d/zope3 start

This gives an error:

Zope3: no instances found

I now type:

dzhandle make-instance hello

This gives me an error:

dzhandle make-instance: ambiguous zope version to make instance for:
`2.6', `2.7', `2.8', `2.9', `2.10', `3'

I was expecting this to create an instance named hello, that I could use
to create my "hello world" application.

Should I be in a specific directory before doing this? How do I specify
the zope version?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Mark.

That doesn't seem to be correct. What documentation (from what site)
are you using to run the above?

Can you view the basic outline of creating instances and the hello world
script itself as outlined at:

http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/ZopeGuideQuickstart

And report if that works or gives you any errors? That has a good
example of a hello world, from the instance to the URL and everything
inbetween.
