When I initially posted here it was suggested that my core dump problems may have been due to a missing shared library. However I do not find an error message in either the stdout from the server or in the Z2.log file or in a detail.log file I generated by adding the -M flag to the command line.
For the record here again is what I am doing and what happens. I downloaded the Zope-2.5.1-src distribution. I untarred it onto my SGI running IRIX 6.5 and ran /usr/freeware/bin/python2 w_pcgi.py. (Note that this is the current SGI freeware package of python which is version 2.1.1) Following that I ran ./start -M var/detail.log. (Note that the ./start script inserts the -D flag.) I then accessed the web server using Netscape (either 4.72 under WindowsNT or 4.79 under IRIX). I received the initial page with no problem. I clicked on the "Zope Management Interface" link and on the client I get the three frames, but only the top frame fills and I get two "Document contains no data" dialog boxes. On the server, the server has dumped core and restarted. The messages from the server that I can find (i.e. stdout, var/Z2.log, and var/detail.log) report no errors, other than the server restarting twice. I've included copies of each of these three reports below. Any suggestion on how to fix the problem or at least generate (of find) any additional error messages would be appreciated.
Thanks, Malcolm Davis
Well, if you have dbx on your system, it would be useful to run it against python's core file. That will at least tell you where it crashed, if not necessarily why. -- Matt Kromer Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/
