Re: [Zope] ZServer and ZPublisher

19 Feb 1999

      Your perfectly right and about twenty seconds after posting, I realised and
set the PYTHONPATH and it worked.

At least ZServer started, I am now having trouble getting ZServer to play
ball with FTP connections, I'll struggle on for the moment, since as the
docs say, ZServer is for playing with at the moment.  I don't intend to use
it for any mission critical stuff at least 8^).

Thanks for the message.

See ya

When trying to start ZServer's start.py, after making the relevant
changes,
and compiling in threads etc.  I get this message:

Traceback (innermost last):

I looked in the PubCore directory and lo and behold there is no ZPublisher
module.
ZPublisher is a very important ;-) Zope package. It is not a special part
of ZServer. It should be located in Zope's 'lib/python' directory.
My guess is that your Python path is wrong, and ZPublisher is not being
located.
Here's my current take on a reasonable way to run ZServer:
(BTW, later Zope installation will write these files for you.)
shell script 'start':
#!/bin/sh
PYTHONHOME=/path/to/my/Zope
export PYTHONHOME
cd $PYTHONHOME
bin/python ZServer/start.py
Here are snippets from start.py which makes sure the Python path is
reasonable.
start.py:
...
ZOPE_HOME='/path/to/my/Zope'
...
PID_FILE=os.path.join(ZOPE_HOME,'var/Zope.pid')
LOG_FILE=os.path.join(ZOPE_HOME,'var/ZServer.log')
...
# set python path to include Zope stuff
sys.path.insert(0,os.path.join(ZOPE_HOME,'lib/python'))
...
So, in summary:
* set the PYTHONHOME environment variable
* set Zope's lib/python directory in your Python path
Hope this helps.
