Attention

This document was written for an unsupported version of Plone, Plone 2.5.x, and was last updated 1631 days ago.

For more information, see the version support policy.

To learn how to upgrade to the current version of Plone, read the upgrade manual.

Why won't Plone start on Windows 2003?

After installing the Windows installer for Plone, I can't access Zope at http://hostname:8080/ even though the Zope appears to be running.

Warning: This item is marked as outdated.

If you're running IIS, it may be the culprit as it sometimes likes to take over port 8080, the default port that Zope runs on. You can either:

  1. Shut down IIS if it's not needed (or possibly replace it with Apache)
  2. Change the port that Zope uses (via the Plone Controller)
