I am having problems with a Zope installation hanging after running for several minutes or hours. This started a couple of days ago after Zope had been running fine for the past few months. Here are the details of the installation: - Zope 2.3.1 (old, but what I'm stuck with for now) - Solaris 7 - Apache 1.3.19 with several virtual hosts - the virtual hosts that connect to Zope are using mod_rewrite, some are like this: RewriteRule ^/(.*) /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] [PT] ...while others are like this: RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://virtualhostname.com:8080/$1 [P] (We are not using Virtual Host Monster -- just found out about that yesterday) When Zope hangs I notice that there are a lot of Zope.cgi processes running on the system. I am not sure, though, if Zope is hanging because of the Zope.cgi processes, or if the Zope.cgi processes are hanging because of Zope hanging. One thing that concerns me is the size of our Data.fs file: -rw-r--r-- 1 zope nobody 702930743 Mar 7 23:37 Data.fs I know this needs to be packed, and I know the large size causes Zope to take a long time to start up. I don't have reason to believe that it is causing Zope to hang, however. When Zope hangs, the load average on the machine does not go up, Zope does not take excessive CPU. It seems to be just sleeping, perhaps waiting for something external to happen. The only solution I have found has been to restart it, which only helps temporarily. We initially suspected search bots were hitting the site and overloading it (we were seeing connections from googlebot.com). We configured Apache yesterday to reject those connections, but Zope still had problems last night. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! Thanks, Doug
