Have you just started using Zope? Or have you been using Zope for a while without problems?
I started using Zope fairly recently, and had only gone so far as to make it a mirror of my pre-existing site using fsimport.
Can you take MySQL out of this mix for a while to see if it has any effect? Are there any other products installed that are not part of the Zope distribution?
I can say that having just reinstalled the zope binary distro, I saw no regular stoppage of the zope server until after I reinstalled the ZMySQLDA and connected to the database. I have not manually installed any other products, though I did install the external method 'fsimport'.
Please try running Zope without the ZMySQLDA and see if that has any effect (snip)
It would also be interesting to us to see your database files. Would you mind sending them to us (as an attached gzipped tar ball or Zip file)?
I assume you mean the Data.BBB* files.
Actually, the var directory.
Do you want the files from the current working setup (which is exhibiting the recurrent loss of Zope with no messages) or the non-working Data.BBB, or both?
I'm confused. Are you saying that you have a working setup that, asside from having ZopeHTTPServer die, is not having problems? How does this relate to the broken site. For starters, please send the var directory containing the non-working Data.bbb files as a gzipped tar file.
I assume you don't want these mailed to the list;
Right. Please send to jim@digicool.com. (Note that I didn't CC the list in my message to you.)
should I send them to your personal account?
Yes. jim@digicool.com.
The problems you are reporting are very odd. Needless to say, we don't see them here, so any info you give would be very helpfull.
Please feel free to call me at the number below if you're interested in brainstorming this.
I am very interested in determining the cause of and solution for this problem, especially since it was, in my opinion, related to the recurrent death of the ZopeHTTPServer, which has returned.
Did it stop dying? When? Was it related to the use of MySQLDA?
Since I believe it to be only a matter of time until it dies again, I am keeping multiple backups of the Data.BBB* files. Are there any other data files I should be aware of, for purposes of backup, or do the Data.BBB files cover it?
The Data.bbb files cover it. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Technical Director (888) 344-4332 Python Powered!
