* FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE system w/generic kernel. Yes, I know this is old, * Python 2.4.3 * Zope 2.9
the main error cause of Zope on FreeBSD is a wrong configuration of the python 2.4 port. You need to enable the "HUGE_STACK_SIZE" option, e.g. with "make config" in /usr/ports/lang/python24 and reinstall python.
In case you didn't see this in my e-mail to Andreas, this was enabled at compile-time by the guy who installed Python on this system...or so he says. Is there any way to check that it's been properly compiled in? Meanwhile, I just got an e-mail from my co-admin on this system, and he says that this morning's crash was accompanied by the following "in the event log" (not sure which one he's referring to): MemoryError: Can't allocate memory for compression object Does that help make sense of things? Thanks, Alex
