Hi there, I'm trying to setup a "discless" ZEO client. The INSTANCE_HOME is pointing to '/var/run/zope'[1] (/var is mounted on a ramdisk). If I try to start zope with `/usr/sbin/zopectl -I /var/run/zope/ start -P 8000 -u www-data -D` I get the errors in [2]. The custom_zodb.py looks like [3]. Afaik all file permissions/modes are set correctly, what else might be the reason? ZEO is running smooth, everything works if I try to run Zope with a default INSTANCE_HOME. If I remove the old INSTANCE_HOME and supply a custom one I get those erros in [1]... some more info: Zope version: 2.5.1-1 (from debian woody) python version: 2.1.3 Thnx in advance, Igor [1]: NFSROOT@test1:~# ls -l /var/run/zope/ /var/run/zope/var total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 39 May 13 17:54 access -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 90 May 13 17:54 custom_zodb.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245 May 13 18:38 custom_zodb.pyc drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 0 May 13 19:02 var /var/run/zope/var: total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 0 May 13 18:33 Z2.log [2]: NFSROOT@test1:~# /etc/init.d/zope start Starting Zope...------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 INFO(0) client Trying to connect to server: ('<some IP>', 7700) ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 INFO(0) ClientStorage Connected to storage ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 INFO(0) ZODB Opening database for mounting: '142508672_1021297398.478297' ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 INFO(0) ZODB Mounted database '142508672_1021297398.478297' at /temp_folder ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 INFO(0) Zope Default Object Creation /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/../../import/Examples.zexp examples import file could not be found. ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Mon May 13 19:19:19 2002 Hostname: test1.domain.tld Port: 8080 ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Mon May 13 19:19:19 2002 Hostname: test1 Port: 8021 ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 ERROR(200) ZServer Cannot write PID file. ------ 2002-05-13T17:19:19 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/sbin/zope-z2, line 627, in ?
