... StorageSystemError: Could not lock the database file. There must be another process that has opened the file. <p>
But there is definitely no process that has access to a ZOPE file! Has anyone a solution? Please. I'm not a Linux geek - do I have to set some special rights or something to the /var directory??? Just a guess...
The user Zope runs as must be able to write to the zope/var directory. Usually this is set properly on installation. It's probable that cd zope # where 'zope' is the directory where the Zope install lives chown -R zope var # where 'zope' is the user zope runs as chmod u+w var will fix things, but you could slip us the output of ls -l var for better advice. --jcc -- "Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design." (http://www.devx.com/java/editorial/15511)
