OK, after being much frustrated with PCGI/ZServer (I run ZServer, and talk to it both direct to port (management), and from Roxen through PCGI), not working. I found the 'problem'. This works: ===== #! /bin/sh reldir=`dirname $0` PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export PYTHONHOME exec /usr/bin/python \ $PYTHONHOME/z2-2.2.py \ -m '' -f '' -w6001 -d 127.0.0.1 ==== This Does not: ==== #! /bin/sh reldir=`dirname $0` PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export PYTHONHOME exec /usr/bin/python \ $PYTHONHOME/z2-2.2.py \ -X -w6001 -d 127.0.0.1 ====== The difference is in the port options passed to z2.py. If you use the new -X, it shuts of pcgi. If you use the old -m '' -f '' (fo ronly running web), it works. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.
