2. Fresh Installation

Follow the instructions in this section if Zope and Plone are not installed on your system. Instead of r51 your machine's host name will be displayed with the prompt.

       1:plone                  ########################################### [100%]

  5. Start Zope to see if the installation was successful:

    r51:~/Plone-2.1.2-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rczope start
    Starting zope, instances: default                                    done
    
    Open the Zope start page in a web browser. If you see a page named Zope Quick Start your Zope server is up and running. A first account named superuser, password 123 has been created automatically during installation so you can access the Zope Management Interface (ZMI).
