I have installed zope 2.7.0 using Mandrake urpmi (rpm installed) and proceeded to play with zope. All worked fine for about 4 hours. Then I downloaded the plone tarball, extracted it into the /var/lib/zope/Products/ folder, and used the zope control panel to restart zope. It didn't start. It looks like it starts, but does nothing. [root@inet lib]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start Starting zope: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py", line 207, in ? main() File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py", line 190, in main c.onecmd(" ".join(options.args)) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/cmd.py", line 210, in onecmd return func(arg) File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py", line 134, in do_start ZDCmd.do_start(self, arg) File "/usr/lib/zope/./build/build-base/python-2.3/build-lib/zdaemon/zdctl.py", line 214, in do_start File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 543, in spawnvp return _spawnvef(mode, file, args, None, execvp) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 504, in _spawnvef wpid, sts = waitpid(pid, 0) OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes [root@inet zope]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start Starting zope: daemon process started, pid=7855 So it appears to be running. But I cannot connect to it via a browser. (Error: Connection refused) My /var/log/zope/event.log doesn't have any more entries whether I try to start zope or not: 2004-12-01T12:18:23 INFO(0) Zope Set effective user to "zope" ------ 2004-12-01T12:18:37 INFO(0) Zope Ready to handle requests ------ 2004-12-01T21:54:47 INFO(0) ApplicationManager Restart requested by "admin" ------ 2004-12-01T21:54:47 INFO(0) ZServer closing HTTP to new connections ------ 2004-12-01T21:54:47 INFO(0) ZServer closing FTP to new connections ------ 2004-12-01T21:54:47 INFO(0) Zope Shutting down with exit code 1 What could be wrong?
