[Setup] Re: Trouble creating Plone site (python exception)

[Lucia Colombo]

what port are you running plone on?
I had the same problem (yes, Win XP....), and it looks like plone runs on 
port 8080 as zope does. I was not able to change that port: the plone 
console says it runs on port 80...but port is 8080. Just try to run your 
site on port 8080 and it should work.
There were posts about that, on the plone user newsgroup I think, as the 
setup one was not yet existing (it was abou...september, as far as I 
remember). Anyway, on any site you add you get that error because the 
navigation portlet returns an error and then there is some zope bug which 
prevents the rest of the page content to display, as there is an error in a 
left portlet. You can notice the Plone default site is misbehaving the same 
way, the only site that works on port 80 is the root.
