    Trouble Learning Zope

    Greetings,

    I just installed zope, version 2.6.1-10 on a debian distribution, but I
    cannot get to second base. When I try to add the tutorial to a folder, I
    get an error message stating that an emergency user cannot own an
    object. So I clicked onto the help page and found the tutorial there.
    But I got the same error when I tried to follow it. Then I created a new
    user account and restarted zope. But it would not accept a login as the
    new user, only as the original, 'emergency' user. As things stand, I can
    bring up zope on my browser but cannot do anything in it.

    I have the online version of the Zope Book but could find no reference
    to an emergency user.

    What can I do to straighten things out. Thanks for any help.

    1. When you create the new user, make sure you've set it up for "manager"
    privileges.

    2. Subscribe to the zope mailing list, as this newsgroup does relatively
    little support for Zope while the mailing list is the place to be...
    (see the Zope web site to subscribe).
