1) Download '''zope2.10.6-final''' in .tgz format, inside '''/home/rjgroup/downloads/''' directory.

2) unzip using command gunzip -c zope-*.tgz | tar xvf-

3) issue command '''./configure –prefix=/home/rjgroup/zope-install –with-python=/usr/bin/python2.4. (If already there is another Python version running, then explicitly give your Python installation path, ie, '''

'''/home/rjgroup/python-install/bin/)'''

Here, Directory name will be '''/home/rjgroup/zope-instance'''. Initial user name – admin, password-admin.

6) goto '''/home/rjgroup/zope-instance/etc/zope.conf''' and change the '''user + HTTP port''' configuration. Goto Line 149 and add line “effective-user rjgroup”. Goto line 969 and add line “address 8083”. save and quit

7) Now issue''' /home/rjgroup/zope-instance/bin/zopectl fg ''', this will start Zope instance in Foreground . To start it in Background, command is''' /home/rjgroup/zope-instance/bin/zopectl start'''

8) Goto browser and type '''<nowiki><htttp://[ip]:8083/manage> and login into Zope ZMI, using username and password as admin. </nowiki>'''If ur able to login into ZMI, then Zope installation successful.
