However... The startup script at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zope213 does nothing. There are no errors, but it also launches no daemon and binds no ports. It does this whether Apache is running or not. Also, it leaves no errors in syslog or the Apache logs. All documentation I could find online, even documentation aimed at installing Plone on FreeBSD, tells administrators to download Plone themselves from upstream, install it manually, and use Plone's own installer. I could not find one single howto in which the documentation described using this port (www/plone). All such documentation tells sysadmins to start Plone with plonectl rather than zopectl, but plonectl is absent in this package, presumably because /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zope213 is supposed to start it instead (but on my site, as described above, that does nothing). Also, there's no post-installation message, and no special docs in /usr/share/local/plone* to advise about special concerns of using this package on FreeBSD that may be different from upstream. So...I didn't want to bug you, but since there doesn't seem to be any FreeBSD usage docs anywhere for this port, I have to ask the dumb question...how are you supposed to get this running? Does it run a HTTP daemon of its own (as some Zope docs suggest), or can you use it with Apache? How do you get it to launch on port 8080 so you can get into the webadmin interface? Would it actually be better to download manually from upstream and let Plone manage itself rather than go through Ports installation? -- + Brent A.
