Hi; Anyone else had weird, inexplicable things happen with your Zope? Here's a couple of horror stories of mine. I'd love to hear yours. What inspired this post was something that happened tonight. I was playing around with a very simple script when I kept running into errors: Can't convert an integer into a string; Can't convert a string into an integer; etc. I *knew* there wasn't a problem with my script. After a futile hour of trying to track down the *problem*, I decided to copy a perfectly good and currently functioning script, giving it a different name and passing the variables like I do to its parent. Sure enough, I ran into the same errors! Why?! My worst nightmare happened a couple of weeks ago. I decided to rebuild my file structure into something more portable. I had placed a number of scripts and old DTML methods in the root. I decided to copy them all into a folder, add the folder to each of my sites, and put the new folder into each site's path. Simple, right? What could possibly go wrong? Well, I forget the exact errors Zope threw at me, but it was all utter nonsense. I finally decided I'd just restart the sucker. I mean, why not? Bad, bad idea. I couldn't restart it. Worse yet, I ended up having to reinstall Zope. When I went to open my old Data.fs file, the goblins had secretly returned it to the exact state it was in at my last backup...two weeks before! How???? How could it have possibly known?! Also, if you happen to know a good exorsict, please let me know <g> beno
