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/Zope/__init__.py, line 37, 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.
lock_file.py has a simple try/except block around that line. As a debugging step remove the try/except block and see if you get more verbose exception details.
