Hi: I got this error, when starting the Zope server again. I have had this problem before, then I found out there was another processing I did not kill still running the server. this time, I made sure I had no other processes that are running the server or making use of any files in Zope. Please help! File /home/xxx/xxx/Zope-2.6.1/Zope-2.6.1-solaris-2.8-sparc/z2.py, line 582, in ?
