<please keep this on the list so other people can benefit from it, too> i think you can use /etc/hostconfig for that, but i am not sure if other things might break if you change that setting from -AUTOMATIC- to a host name. it will most likely give you trouble whenever you connect the machine to a network where that host name cannot be resolved anymore. on the other hand, why can't the "automatic" hostname not be resolved? are you sure your DNS settings are correct? jens On Tuesday, August 13, 2002, at 10:15 , baiewola@netscape.net wrote:
Thank you, Jens. Yes, I'm using OS X.
I had set the hostname already and just did it again. It seems like what is happening is that the hostname is resetting itself when I restart the computer. Is there a configuration file somewhere that I can change to hard-code it in?

the machine name of the machine you are using cannot be resolved to an IP. make sure the machine name is resolvable. use hostname -s <newhostname> to change the hostname if needed. this is described here under the header "Zope"::

(i assume you are running OS X, i think Fink is OS X-only)

I just installed Zope 2.5.1. It installed alright and seemed to be running okay. I did some other installations for Fink and MySQL, then I went back to Zope to change the default startup switch from -D to -Z '' and now it something strange happens. It seems to start up but a few seconds later it spits out this line:
[1] Done ./start
If I look at the running processes immediately after startup up Zope (and before receiving the "done" message), there is a z2.py process running for a few seconds.
I thought maybe I screwed up the start file, but changing it back to -D didn't work, so I started Zope up myself from the command line, like this: myuser% /usr/local/bin/python2.1 /Applications/Zope/z2.py -D
And I received a startup exception that I don't understand: ------ 2002-08-13T12:06:26 INFO(0) ZODB Opening database for mounting: '12691952_1028915609.880719' ------ 2002-08-13T12:06:26 INFO(0) ZODB Mounted database '12691952_1028915609.880719' at /temp_folder ------ 2002-08-13T12:06:27 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /Applications/Zope/z2.py, line 558, in ?
