Perhaps you could use a command line script to pack your db....as: #simple script to pack your database from the command line. put in crontab #no error checking done. import os myzope="/your/zope/dir" os.chdir(myzope+"/lib/python") myday = 0 try: import Zope app = Zope.app() #a lot more interesting stuff can be done here. e.g #for i in app.objectItems(): # print i.id() # app.Control_Panel.Database.manage_pack(days=myday) get_transaction().commit() app._p_jar.close() except: #do interesting stuff here, mail , sms, etc print "cant pack" Or maybe change your clocktime to a future time and see if you can pack it then? regards Norman -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Terry Kerr Sent: 16 November 2001 01:57 To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Zope DB pack error Hi, I get this error when trying to pack my database.
