[Echlin, Michael]
I am not sure if this applies or not but here goes.
On a WIN NT server I wanted to get zope running with another program on the same server that also required python. Problem is it needed a different version of python that had been hacked and wouldn't work with Zope. It also set up some environment variables that zope couldn't live with.
So I installed zope as an app and used srvany (part of the windows NT resource kit) to serve cmd calling a cmd file that set the variables to values zope could live with and then called zopes start.bat
It is installed as an app and runs as a service in it's own virtual machine.
It's a good approach but I tend to just go to the registry and change the command line that the service uses when it launches Zope.
This looks to me as the way to go, but how do I do that? I have a registry key that starts the service: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\zope243\Parameters\sta rt" Currently its value reads: ""E:\zope\243\bin\python.exe" "E:\zope\243\z2.py" -S -D" Do I have to create another parameter with the name "STUPID_LOG_FILE" and value "E:\zope\243\var\stupid_log_file.log" or something similar? tia Cornelis J. de Brabander ========================================== Department of Education, Leiden University P.O.Box 9555, NL-2300 RB Leiden +31 71 527 3422/3401 brabander@fsw.leidenuniv.nl ==========================================
