Hi,
I have some trouble with my zope test server. I am trying to decide whether to use Silva or Plone, but with both products, my Zope site crashes reproduceable. (in both products while adding a site).
I use Zope Version (Zope 2.5.1 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.3, freebsd4) Python Version 2.1.3 (#2, Oct 1 2002, 17:24:12) [GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD]] System Platform freebsd4 SOFTWARE_HOME /usr/local/zope/zope/lib/python
On FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE.
Found it (thanx Thomas)! It was caused by the FreeBSD thread stack size problem. Since not all descriptions on the web are too clear about it, I will describe how to fix it here as well (note: this is only neccessary if you build Python on FreeBSD by hand. I think the version from the ports has a fix) after downloading and unpacking the Python source (2.1.3), run ./configure --prefix=/usr change the file Python/thread_pthread.h.
