RE: [Zope] Having troubles starting Zope.
Hi Chris, I should have stated that I didn't upgrade Zope. I mean: it's the same installation I had before except for the Hotfix which I got from zope.org I checked this file, though I don't know anything about python, and it doesn't seem to touch the core of zope's files. About installing from source. I don't really have anything against that but the linux box running zope is a P133 w/ 64 MB RAM... It's not a power compiler if I may add :) so compiling the kind of app zope is makes me think of compiling X. About an hour or so. I don't really want to get a too tight grip on the machine's load. What should gives the environment vars it asks in the error message? Maybe we could find where it comes from. In case I really have to. What are the files that should be copied so I keep my database intact and my configuration too like users and such. Last, I upgraded the kernel with support for reiserfs. Think that might do bad things? It's a thought but zope refused to start before the upgrade was completed, meaning before rebooting the box after the kernel compilation. What should be the ownership of the /var/lib/zope* and /usr/lib/zope/* ? Is there a zope user? Well, that's about all I can think of. Thanks for the help.

RE: [Zope] Having troubles starting Zope. Now: compiling Zope
Ok, so running dns/imap/mail/apache/zope/samba/nfs/mysql/snmb/sshd and all the rest of the normal services running (not forgetting the php/cgi/etc modules of apache) and compiling shouldn't be a problem? :) I have to admit the box is not receiving that much traffic but I wouldn't want to slow things more than I have to.

RE: [Zope] Having troubles starting Zope. Now: compiling Zope
I don't really care about my end :) Only the user's :) But I think it would be a nice idea to implement. I'll give it some thoughts.

In my case, I picked a time when I knew traffic would be lower, and there were no issues. YMMV. If your browsers are not on the local LAN, but through modem, they probably wouldn't notice much, if any change, all things being equal. :) Bill -- E PLURIBUS LINUX ___ 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 )
RE: [Zope] Having troubles starting Zope. Now FIXED!
I fixed it. All I had to do was reinstall the zope .deb and it started alright. The content is still there (though I was almost scared to death having thought of doing backups AFTER the reinstallation) and all is good. Well, almost. Now that it's fixed and all is back to normal, I will try to find what caused this. *crossing fingers* I'll let you know if I find something. Dany ---.oo0O--O0oo.
