Hi folks,
This is my first post to this list and I'm desperate for help. I'm running Zope 2.6.1 with Python 2.1.3. My Zope instance died today and won't come back. When I try to start it, I get:
2005-08-27T20:58:15 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /home/lrc/z2.py, line 497, in ? File <string>, line 1, in ?

File /home/lrc/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py, line 213, in __init__ File /home/lrc/lib/python/ZODB/lock_file.py, line 33, in lock_file StorageSystemError: Could not lock the database file. There must be another process that has opened the file. <p>

At first I deleted Data.fs.lock and cannot find any process that would suggest zope is running. I've also played with renaming various .pid files in hopes of an answer. I'm stumped and in very hot water right now. Any help or guidance would be very appreciated.
Can you run 'lsof' against your Data.fs? or run 'killall python' (not as root, unless Zope is the only process which might be running Python).
Thanks for the quick response! lsof gives me nothing, and I still have trouble when all python processes are killed. Even after a reboot. I thought it might be a corrupt Data.fs or something, but I can get it to start on another instance of zope. Could it be some lock file that I don't know about? I'm stumped.
Could you have changed the ownership of the directory containing Data.fs (or the user as whom you are running Zope)? That user needs to be able to create files in that directory, and must therefore have write access to the directory itself, as well as the Data.fs file.
