How to use strobes with Nikon D60 (can't activate camera flash to sync with strobe)?

I'm new to flash photograph so pardon me if this is a retarded question and I do not know anything about lighting, sorry! So I have strobe that I have connected to my D60 with a pocket wizard. When I click the shutter, the strobe doesn't go off. I read up on it and saw that the strobe is to be triggered by sensing the built in camera flash. The only problem though is that when I activate the camera flash, it gets in the way of the hot shoe attachment and since it can't be opened all the way, the flash does not turn on. Is there another way of doing it or am I doing it wrong, or what? Again, sorry if this is a retarded question. Thanks!

Added (1). I'm actually using a hot shoe to hot shoe safe sync by Wein, which is then connected to the strobe light. I know it works because it goes off when I hit the test button on the side of the hot shoe. But when I click the shutter, it doesn't go off. Is there a certain setting I'm supposed to change on the camera? All I did was put the flash into manual mode and put the shooting into manual mode as well.

Added (2). Yes, the light is plugged into the Wein hot shoe to hoe shoe safe sync. It will not flash with the shutter but sometimes will flash while I'm plugging it in. I don't know if this helps, here is the equipment (for all I know, it could be incompatible):
1. Nikon D60
2. Wein Hot Shoe to Hot Shoe Safe Sync
3. Sunpak TR-Pak II

Added (3). I figured it out, thanks "Betty"! I wasn't matching it up properly because I was putting it on wrong.

Is the Leica m9 a good travel camera?

I own a Nikon d40x and I'm a beginner in photography.

I'm going to travel to Europe and I'm thinking of buying a lighter camera and just a 35mm focal length.

What do you think about the Leica? Any experience with it and any problems inherent in it?

Dslr aperture ring won't adjust the aperture?

I have a nikon d80 with a tamron 28-80mm lens its a d lens because it has a aperture ring on it, but when i set it to aperture mode or manual mode or any mode i try to adjust the aperture using the ring but when i do i look at the display and instead of seeing the aperture changing it says F EE, i'm not sure what it means but it does not change. It only changes when i twist the lens to make it zoom then it goes from f3.5 to f5.6 then when i turn the dial it can go up to f22. My question is why does it not change when i turn the aperture ring? The ring is labeled with the numbers from f3.5-f5.6 but has no affect when i change it with the ring why is that?

Why does my DSLR have a purple halo in two corners after long exposures?

On exposures over 30 seconds I get an odd purple halo in the top two corners of the frame that gets increasingly noticeable with longer exposures. It's not the lens, I changed that out. I've had the camera (Nikon D80) for some time now and I've never seen it do this before.

Added (1). image

Added (2). There's no LED that stays on and I covered the viewfinder. Right now I have no lens on it and a cover instead, and it's still there.
