Hello Chris, Chris McDonough -- Lundi 30 Avril 2001 22:11:
Jerome,
Are you seeing "script returned printed without using printed variable" messages inside your log file (STUPID_LOG_FILE?) What messages are you seeing in the logfile?
It seems that the problem is related to opening and closing the logfile, which may be symptomatic of an out-of-disk-space issue.
I have set STUPID_LOG_FILE and my problems have gone away. I have thought about what you told me and now think I understand what the problem was. The server's boot process automatically starts Zope. I do not believe that problems cropped up when this was how Zope was started. I believe that my problems happen when I manually restart Zope. I occasionnally do this when I install new products or experience major problems. To manually restart Zope, I do the following: I open a shell, su, run the stop script, run the start script, check that everything works and exit my shell. You supposed that maybe stderr disappears somehow, causing my IOErrors... Would closing my shell not make stderr disappear? If so, maybe this should be considered a bug in the default setup of the start script? The start script should start a fully functional Zope, even if the shell il later closed. In my opinion, at least. :-) In any case, I very much thank you for your help. My problem seems resolved now.
