Hi all, does anyone here uses Zone installed on Suse Linux? What's your impressions? Particular pros/cons? It comes with a script to manage multiple Zopes, which is very useful. I have around 50 separate Zope/Plones running for student teaching.
The only negative that I know of comes with SuSE 9.3 Pro. Zope is compiled with Python 2.4! All my attempts to build Zope from scratch with Python 2.3.5 have failed on SuSE 9.3. I never had problems with building things from scratch before though.
I have sorted out the build from scratch. I installed python 2.3 as an altinstall as suggested, and tried using --with-python on the zope configuration. Both of these may have helped. Certainly, the suggestions encouraged me to have one more go - and I found the problem! It was so easy when I found it, too. I have a large number of existing zope instances, each already has their own zopectl script. These were created before I migrated to SuSE 9.3, so the script has PYTHON=/usr/bin/python. On SuSE 9.2 /usr/bin/python was python 2.3. So, even though I built everything with python 2.3.5 the scripts were still trying to use python 2.4 to run things. After I edited the scripts all was well. That is on my test server. The production server has another 50 or so Zope instances. It all makes work for the working man to do (as the song says) Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and support. Tony
