I'm no doubt missing something silly, but Ape 0.6 worked and now 0.7 is giving me troubles. Here's the specifics: Zope 2.6.2b4 on RH Linux 9. I have Ape 0.7 and DBTab 1.2 installed. and actually, Zope starts up fine if I remove the DBTab.conf and custom_zodb.py files from my instance root. WITH those files configured according to the instructions (pretty much the defaults) though, I get the following traceback when starting Zope: 2003-08-13T15:22:49 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/Zope/z2.py, line 585, in ?
