Creating basic Zope2+Plone buildout on Fedora






* easy_install-2.4 zc.buildout

Creating the Buildout


Next, create some base directory tree.

cd ~/Devel/mybuildout/
mkdir products src

Finally, init, and run the buildout

buildout init
./bin/buildout -vvvvv

Done. You are good to go. Start zope by ./bin/instance start and if you are following the config below, zope will be listening at http://localhost:8080 and the manager username is admin with password is zopeadmin

Sample buildout.cfg (modified from the one generated by paster)

# buildout.cfg

parts =

# Add additional egg download sources here. contains archives
# of Plone packages.
find-links =

# Add additional eggs here
# elementtree is required by Plone
eggs =

# Reference any eggs you are developing here, one per line
# e.g.: develop = src/my.package
develop =

recipe = plone.recipe.plone>=3.1.7,<3.2dev

recipe = plone.recipe.zope2install
url = ${plone:zope2-url}

# Use this section to download additional old-style products.
# List any number of URLs for product tarballs under URLs (separate
# with whitespace, or break over several lines, with subsequent lines
# indented). If any archives contain several products inside a top-level
# directory, list the archive file name (i.e. the last part of the URL,
# normally with a .tar.gz suffix or similar) under 'nested-packages'.
# If any archives extract to a product directory with a version suffix, list
# the archive name under 'version-suffix-packages'.
recipe = plone.recipe.distros
urls =
nested-packages =

recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
zope2-location = ${zope2:location}
user = root:root
http-address = 8080
#debug-mode = on
#verbose-security = on

# If you want Zope to know about any additional eggs, list them here.
# This should include any development eggs you listed in develop-eggs above,
# e.g. eggs = ${buildout:eggs} ${plone:eggs} my.package
eggs =

# If you want to register ZCML slugs for any packages, list them here.
# e.g. zcml = my.package my.other.package
zcml =

recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = ${instance:eggs}
interpreter = zopepy
extra-paths = ${zope2:location}/lib/python
