Today I tried to move my nealy-finished Zope application (will post a testimonial when it's online) to our customer's brand new super-duper-Compaq-PII-400-RAID1 server running Windows NT4 Server SP4 -- and bought exclusively for our application.
My problem: Zope won't run at all. On running freshly installed start.bat _with_the_builtin_database_ the following traceback appears:
[...long traceback] File "C:\Programme\Zope\Koelnzope\lib\python\BoboPOS\SimpleDB.py", line 1332, in read_index raise DatabaseError, ('Corrupted data record at %s' % pos) DatabaseError: Corrupted data record at 9
Could the file have been messed up with a text FTP?
The Zope install itself seems ok - I installed the identical file successfully on several NT4 Workstation SP3 machines. So I can't believe the reason is really a corrupted database. I will try to make a test installation on another NT4 Server SP4 box to see if that is the reason.
Right. It souldn't like the file is OK.
The server itself is included in a large (several hundred) server pool with identical basis setups and managed homogenously via SMS. I'm running start.bar with local administrator rights and unrestricted access to the Zope installation, but according to the rest of the network machinery the permissions of the test account are rather restricted. But this propably shouldn't change anything.
Did anyone ever experience something similar? Assumptions..guesses..any ideas appreciated - I'm pretty desperated because the whole thing should go online on monday, I have no server access on weekend, and there's quite a lot depending on it.
Have you tried re-trasfering the file? Feel free to call me at the number below to discuss this if you wish, or to send me the file (via private email not CCed to the list :).
