Hi folks,
I'm having problems with starting Zope itself:
I've installed Zope 2.8.7 on RH Linux with Python 2.3.5 behind Apache
2.2.2, but just can't start it. I have installed and attempted to start
Zope as a non-root user but inside of a dir that my user does has full
privileges. It's also a dir that is an Apache Virtual Host.
Following the guide in docs/INSTALL.txt
#> ./configure --prefix=/path/to/zope/<DIR>
--with-python=/usr/local/python/bin/python
#> make
#> make install
#> /path/to/zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py
#> Directory: </PATH/TO/DESIRED/DIR/WITH/PRIVILEGES>
#> username <USERNAME>
#> password <PASSWORD>
#> password again <PASSWORD>
#> /path/to/zope/bin/<DIR>/bin/runzope
It's at this last stage that the command prompt just hangs. I have left it
for 5 minutes, tried to connect to vhost.mydomain.net:8080/manage via
Firefox which then hangs and says 'The Connection Has Timed Out'.
And if I start Zope using:
#> /path/to/zope/bin/<DIR>/bin/zopectl start
It *seems* to start. And running ps x | grep zope shows two zope
processes, yet when I try to connect to vhost.mydomain.net:8080/manage
again - Firefox hangs again and again then says 'The Connection Has Timed
Out'.
There is nothing in the apache event_log, or the Apache event_log for this
sub-domain, nothing in Zope's Z2.log and no errors in Zope's event.log
other than a single entry: WARNING ZODB.FileStorage Ignoring index for
/path/to/zope/bin/<DIR>/var/Data.fs.
I feel as though I've covered all the bases, and the only niggly feeling I
have is that Zope needs to be installed as root but run as another user.
Can anyone help me out here? I'm fully stuck!
Many thanks for reading.
Russ
Do you even see zop running?
#ps -aux|grep Zope
Do you have any other services running on port 8080?
Go in to your "zope intance"/etc and edit the zope.conf file and
change the 8080 to something else (? 8100 for instance if it is not
being used)
now run
zope-instance/bin/zopectl start
If these things are not working:
run python -V to make sure you have the python you think you are using.
check for any rogue zopes that might be running with ps -aux|grep Zope
and kill -9 any /path-to-python /instances.
rename or delete your current instance and mkzopeinstance again as the
non-root user. You may need to create a folder like /opt/plone and
chown user /opt/plone and make your instance into that: i.e.
as root
mkdir /opt/plone
chown plone /opt/plone
as plone user
/zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py'
Directory: /opt/plone
username:...
password:....
start instance as user plone
/opt/plone/bin/zopectl start
you should get:
. daemon process started, pid=number
ps -aux|grep Zope
you should see 2 python processes.
browse to http://host:8080
you should get popup to log in with the username and password you provided.
Still doesn't work?
let us know.....
