Hi: Sorry for sending out this one again. I actually send out couple email to ask this question. However, I still couldn't fix this problem. (Thanks Rik Hoekstra for the help) Did anyone got in the similar situation before? My problem is with the IIS + PCGI + ZOPE. The mechine I try to setup is NT 4.0 with sp 5, and IIS 4 It is actually our web site server which is currently hosting couple sites. It has multi-domain, multi-ips ( I don't know if this is the problem) I follow the HowTo for Zope.pcgi, start up with -p zope.pcgi, and bind the extension for .pcgi in IIS to pcgi-wrapper.exe %s which I am sure it work because I test it first on a test mechine. However I got "cannot lock database file" error. I check the proccess and var\z2.pid and var\pcgi.pid. When the browser access zope.pcgi .. IIS bring up pcgi-wrapper.exe which is correct I suppose. However, through the task manager/Proccess, I found out that another python.exe is started up. It seems pcgi-wrapper.exe try to bring up pcgi_publisher.py itself. and var\pcgi.pid got change to a different pid. Then, I follow what I found on the mail archive and set the PCGI_publisher=c:\zope\pcgi\dummy.py where dummy.py is just a empty file with size 0. Test again, I got error (102) cannot connect. I guess the problem is when Zope is init and startup, somehow the PCGI server(is it pcgi_publisher.py?) doesn't startup properly or even crashed. Therefore when pcgi-wrapper.exe try to connect, it found nothing, and therefore it starts its own PCGI server or got a no connection error as above. Althought I have this guess! I have no idea how to find out what's going wrong during Zope start up. I read something about the pcgifile.py so I try python pcgifile.py c:\zope\zope.pcgi and I got module not found I don't know where I can go from this point up. Or any suggestion that may be my guess it totally wrong and I should fix it in another path?
