Likely a RedHat 9 threads issue; search the archives of this list in the past 2 months; there should be a wealth of info, I think including a fix... Sean

Dear Zope Community,
A little advice on the following problem would be appreciated: I recently downloaded v 2.6.1 as Zope-2.6.1-linux2-x86.tgz from www.zope.org and installed in in /usr/local/Zope on RedHat 9.0 running on a Pentium Pro 180 MHz w/128Mb ram. RHL-9 is running fine but I can't say the same for Zope. The static index page from the webserver comes up fine and the ftp server works like a champ but when I try to get into the management console after successfully authenticating the console never fully comes up or comes up but with a lot of broken images and I can't get to anywhere below the root level and/or the webserver never completes the request to the browser I'm hitting the server from. I've tried this both on the same machine that Zope is running on and from other machines in my LAN and I always get the same behavior. I've checked the log files: /usr/local/Zope/zope_event_log.log and /usr/local/Zope/var/Z2.log for complaints from Zope but there are none; the logs indicate that Zope is happy but it's not behaving as if it is. I tried adding the "-t" and "-n" flags to the start script to get Zope to demand more resources from the system but still no change. Here's what the line from the script currently looks like: "exec /usr/local/Zope/bin/python $cwd/z2.py -u zope -w 192.168.123.101:8080 -f 192.168.123.101:8021 -t 16 -i 30". Running "top" on the Zope host while the request is trying to complete shows that the cpu is 94% idle. I'm a little low on disk right now per "df -k" output of [root@den Zope]# df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 2793952 2426412 225616 92% / /dev/hda2 97602 9174 83388 10% /boot none 63028 0 63028 0% /dev/shm
but I kind of doubt this is my problem because the rest of the system is running so well. I've also looked in /var/log/messages and have not found any problems. /usr/local/Zope/var is also owned by root and is wide open per: drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 10:31 var.
I also installed Zope 2.5.? on a 400MHz Celeron w/64Mb running Debian Woody Linux that I've kept up to date via network apt-get. Zope on this box runs like a champ. Deb-Conf did the whole setup; I never had to do anything.
I'm inclined to believe that I'm dealing with some sort of a tuning issue but I am a Zope "newbie" and am therefore appealing to those more knowledgeable than myself. I've been trying to use the "Zope Bible" by Bernstein & Robertson for guidance and I've sifted thru the Zope archives but haven't been able to find anything which addresses my issues. Any help/guidance on the problems mentioned above would be greatly appreciated.
Humbly,
Dom
