Oh dear, my Zope can start any longer! What can I do? This is what I get:

1) Make sure you aren't actually still running zope. maybe you have a process that you thought was dead, but isn't. ps wax | grep python ps wax | grep z2.py 2) If there's really no zope process running, delete the lock file. ls -l var/Data.fs.lock rm var/Data.fs.lock -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!
