Hello! I am trying to understand how z2.py and enviroments variables work, so that I can have complete control of how I start Zope. I-am-not-a-Python-programmer-yet, so I apologise in advance if the question is a stupid one. Given the possibility to use INSTANCE_HOME etc, can I override most of the uppercase variables defined in z2.py by setting and exporting them in my /bin/sh script or are the only "overridable" variables the ones defined and used in lib/python/App/FindHomes.py? My guess would be the ones in FindHomes.py, as calls like try: home=os.environ['SOFTWARE_HOME'] seems to have something to do with it :-) I just need to make sure which one is the case. Thanks. /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen Systems Developer Chalmers Univ. of Technology dario@ita.chalmers.se ICQ will yield no hits IT Systems & Services
