PTK-NG QuickStart Instructions

from a post to the zope-ptk list, 2001/01/26

I have a somewhat tested script for getting a PTK site installed quickly. I haven't tried it on anything but my Linux box; Cygwin might not choke, but I wouldn't bet on it :).

To use it on a Zopeless machine:

    $ /usr/bin/cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs-repository login
      (supply 'anonymous' as the password).

    $ mkdir ptktest; cd ptktest && ./make_ptk_site

In this configuration, you may need to run the script twice, as I haven't figured out how to avoid having a subscript exec'ed over the top of it.

On a box with a working Zope SOFTWARE_HOME, for instance in '/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.3-src':

    $ /usr/bin/cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs-repository login
      (supply 'anonymous' as the password).

    $ mkdir ptktest; cd ptktest

    $ ZOPE_HOME=/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.3-src ./make_ptk_site

If you'd rather not use the default emergency/manager userids/passwords, you can override them as well:

    $ ZOPE_HOME=/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.3-src

    $ SUPER_ID=emergency

    $ SUPER_PWD=breakGl@ss

    $ MGR_ID=manager

    $ MGR_PWD=somet#ingSecure

    $ export ZOPE_HOME SUPER_ID SUPER_PWD MGR_ID MGR_PWD

    $ mkdir ptktest; cd ptktest; ./make_ptk_site

After creating the INSTANCE_HOME, start the site using 'zstart':
$ ./zstart -P 3000 -w 3081
Log in with your browser (e.g., http://localhost:3080/manage) using the manager ID.
Add a Portal (New), giving it an appropriate ID.
visit its configuration screen (linked from the "Success!" page) and enable users to set their own initial passwords (this is easier for experimentation, even if you don't intent to allow it later).
Point your browser to the alternate port and join the portal: http://localhost:3081/whatever_you_named_it

Enjoy!
