Hi;
Is anybody out there reading this list? Third question today, no responses, and boy am I in trouble. I went to backup my server's working HD on my new .5 teraflop HD and for some reason that wiped out the /var dirs in my Zope instances. I have backups of the Data.fs that aren't too old, but for some reason I can't get a working copy of Zope installed! I follow the tar, configure, make, make install, make instance without throwing anything special at the configure, then I edit zope.conf to enter the correct effective-user, but when I go to runzope, it throws a cPersistence error. Well, I yahoo'd that and found out I had to run "python setup.py build_ext -if" to knock it out. But why should I have to do that at all? That's not standard procedure. Anyway, I got past that point, but now when I try runzope I get the error that follows. And I've tried every way I can think of to get around it. All the permissions are correct. Once I actually got to the point where it said Zope was ready to serve, could surf to the 111.222.333.444:8080 page, but try to get into the "manage" page and it won't accept my username/password. I ran zpasswd.py and still couldn't get in! Guys, I'm exhausted. I've been at this for 10 hours! Any help would really be appreciated.
