The "request" in your PageTemplate context lacks an "URL".

"URL" is set in the "HTTPRequest"s constructor ("__init__"). If an "HTTPRequest" instance lacks "URL" this means either:

* the instance was created in a wrong way (contructor not called)

* "URL" was deleted after construction.

Unfortunately, the details you have provided does not allow to say more about this problem. -- Dieter

thanks for your reply. theres really not all that much info to go along with the error; is there anything i could try and include? i followed the error just like you said and see where theyre init'd, but the object just seems to be empty. i can str it and get your normal zope-style table of a request only it lacks the base#/url# attributes. its __dict__ seems normal, but .other and ._urls are both empty. i'm not sure how 'URL' could have been deleted or how the httprequest could have been instantiated wrong. it doesnt happen everytime, but when i open multiple browsers and click-crazy to tax it a bit it will happen in ~1-2mins, almost when it boggs down the server a little. afterward the server runs slower for a while until it seems to catch up. my items in plone are archetype-based and do a little db. it must be something wierd in my svr versions because the exact same thing happened here: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2003-November/020952.html and sort of here where they found the problem: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2004-February/021793.html but i've scoured my code/site for any similar name issues and cannot find any. i wish the guy who posted the first issue would've at least thrown me a hint, but he got pissed when i emailed him directly to ask. thanks again for your help, and please let me know if there are any other lists i should be in (not sure if this is really zope-dev related), brian w. -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
