Re: [Zope] Stability - can you give us some advice?
I have about 8 Zope websites of varying sizes and complexities. Early on when I was developing in Zope I had it hang a few times but since then (and I have done a lot of stuff for the last six months) I have really never had it hang. Two of the sites use PostgreSQL (6.5.3 and 7.0) and four of them are served off of one instance and an old Pentium 166. It has been my experience that Zope itself (non-betas which you should never be using in a production environment) is very stable and only hang due to OS issues or really bad DTML coding (loops). If the problems continue I would suggest trying a different OS environment (I am a very very happy RH Linux person).

Some questions: (with stability in mind..) 1) Should we try Zope 2.2.0b3 instead of 2.1.6 ? 2) Should we avoid using packaged versions of Zope? 3) Should we try ZPoPyDA as a DA to Postgresql? 4) Could you give us some advices on good DTML coding: what should we avoid doing, what is a must, for example, whether or not (or when) to generate urls for objects (http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/ObjectURLs) Thanks a lot for your attention, Tacio AGSantos [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

( or tell me what i might be doing wrong) Funny you should mention that. We just had a similar thing happen to us this morning. We have an installation of Zope 2.1.6 running on Red Hat Linux 6.0 on an old 486/66 machine (a prototype serving some intranet content). We aren't doing any database connections on it (through Zope, that is), but we are running Squishdot (which is the main application in terms of usage on this particular machine). Zope is running behind Apache 1.3.9, and I noticed that multiple instances of Zope.cgi started up to service incoming requests, but apparently Zope wasn't responding. I just restarted Apache and everything was fine again. Is this a known problem with Zope that has been addressed in 2.2? Thanks.
