One more question. Does Zope requires that a "root" user should exist on system in order to run properly? I am asking this because when I try to run Zope as a daemon I got this: $ ./plonectl start instance: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Unlinking stale socket /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/home/ccanassa/Plone/zinstance/var/instance/zopectlsock; sleep 1 No handlers could be found for logger "root" . Unlinking stale socket /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/home/ccanassa/Plone/zinstance/var/instance/zopectlsock; sleep 1 . Unlinking stale socket /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/home/ccanassa/Plone/zinstance/var/instance/zopectlsock; sleep 1 . Unlinking stale socket /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/home/ccanassa/Plone/zinstance/var/instance/zopectlsock; sleep 1 . Unlinking stale socket /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/home/ccanassa/Plone/zinstance/var/instance/zopectlsock; sleep 1 . Unlinking stale socket /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/home/ccanassa/Plone/zinstance/var/instance/zopectlsock; sleep 1 .... It continues spamming this until I kill the process, the server does not start neither. I suspect that this is happening because of the lack of a "root" user on my Cygwin installation. If I use the runzope script it works ok thought.

Thanks!

I replaced the code with the one from this link and compiled it again, worked like a charm :-)

I am trying to run Zope using cygwin and Windows XP. I started by downloading the Python 2.4.6 sources and compiling it with:

./configure make && make install

After that I downloaded the Zope-2.11.2-final sources and compiled it with:

./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python make && make install

The compilation went smoothly so I created a instance and started the server with the runzope script. The script returned this error:

$ ./runzope Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 56, in ? run() File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 21, in run starter.prepare() File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/__init__.py", line 109, in prepare self.startZope() File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/__init__.py", line 300, in startZope Zope2.startup() File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/Zope2/__init__.py", line 47, in startup _startup() File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/Zope2/App/startup.py", line 105, in startup Globals.VersionNameName) File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/App/ZApplication.py", line 32, in __init__ if not root.has_key(name): File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 811, in setstate self._setstate(obj) File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 870, in _setstate self._reader.setGhostState(obj, p) File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/serialize.py", line 604, in setGhostState state = self.getState(pickle) File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/serialize.py", line 597, in getState return unpickler.load() File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/serialize.py", line 471, in _persistent_load return self.load_oid(reference) File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/serialize.py", line 537, in load_oid return self._conn.get(oid) File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 245, in get obj = self._reader.getGhost(p) File "/opt/Zope-2.11/lib/python/ZODB/serialize.py", line 591, in getGhost return klass.__new__(klass, *args) TypeError: Acquirer.__new__(Application) is not safe, use Persistence.Persistent.__new__()

Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone knows if it's possible to compile Zope with Cygwin?

Maybe the following can help:

It would be possible to modify the plonectl script in order to make it run without using the zdaemon? Similar to way that the runzope used to work. I am using the Plone unified installer, it doesn't comes with the runzope script. Thanks, Cesar 2009/3/29 Dieter Maurer <dieter@handshake.de>

The continued "Unlinking stale socket" means that your "zdaemon" is dieing.

"zdaemon" is not supposed to work under Windows.

I am unsure whether this also includes "Cygwin on Windows". Your observation may indicate that it actually does....

Try to configure logging for your "zdaemon" and look into its logfile. If this does not reveal hints, modify the "zdaemon" code to ensure that problems are logged to a file you know.
