Looks like Toby's recent change to ApplicationManager.py causes DB.close() to never be called when you hit Shutdown in the Control Panel. This is a bad thing for the Berkeley storages because their .close() must get called or you'll end up with corrupt databases or worse <wink>. ---------------------------- revision 1.83 date: 2002/11/12 17:19:13; author: htrd; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 dont close the storages mid-transaction. need to check whether we need to close them at the end of z2.py ---------------------------- "Um, yeah!" would be my answer. :) So here's a patch to z2.py to fix this. I won't check this in because it looks a little ugly to me and I'm not sure what the right fix is, but we definitely need to fix this before Zope 2.6.1 is released. -Barry Index: z2.py =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs-repository/Zope/z2.py,v retrieving revision 1.88 diff -u -r1.88 z2.py --- z2.py 4 Nov 2002 13:33:46 -0000 1.88 +++ z2.py 12 Nov 2002 19:15:51 -0000 @@ -909,5 +909,7 @@ import Lifetime Lifetime.loop() code = sys.ZServerExitCode +import Zope +Zope.DB.close() zLOG.LOG("z2", zLOG.INFO, 'Exiting with code %d' % code ) sys.exit(code)
