Yes, you'd need to configure a web server. I don't know whether you are on windows or Unix/Linux, and that could seriously affect how easy it is to set up a web server. Most Linux distros make installing apache a piece of cake, but configuring Apache might not be trivial. Thus, maybe the fastest and easiest is, as other posters have suggested, to try Karrigell. > can you point me some usefull reading material so I can get a start ? > I will post for a comment at Zope , I had installed once and it was > very easy.
