zope error

[madhangc]

hi all,

I was installing zope 2 in opensuse 10.2. Everything went on well till creating an instance. After creating instance, in order to start the zope server i tried to execute "zopectl" in order to start the Zserver. But i got an error stating,

bash: zopectl: command not found.

Any idea how to solve it.

thanx in advance.

You normally need to be root to start/stop a server.
Or the app is not in the normal path and must be addressed with a full path to the file or add the file path in the $PATH variable.
Or it really is not installed as you think.
Or that is not the correct file name to use.

I think thats all the possibilities.

yeah thanx a lotfor the reply..
1.i was in superuser mode when i installed,
2.Let meh check out the $PATH variable,
3.It is installed because, without installing a zope instance cannot be created, in my case i can ceate a zope instance,
4.That is the filename as the maual says, There will be only two files in the /bin folder i.e., runzope(for windows) and zopectl(for linux).

can u elaborate on the $path variable, how to set a path .

Thanx again,
