Hi, I want to run multiple zope instances from the same instance tree, using different zope.conf files. The difference is only in filename for pid-,lock-,eventlog-file, and http port number. I change the -C option in zopectl to point to zope-custom.conf, but zopectl still read the zope.conf. If zope.conf is not present in etc folder, zope refuses to start, although -C points to a valid conf file. Here's how to produce: # cd /path/to/zope-instance # cp etc/zope.conf etc/zope-custom.conf # mv etc/zope.conf etc/zope-default.conf # vi bin/zopectl <----- edit CONFIG_FILE="/path/to/zope-instance/etc/zope-custom.conf" # bin/zopectl start . . daemon process started, pid=1234 Then zope terminates quietly... How can I force zopectl to use different conf file other than zope.conf? Thanks! Regards, zm
