Has anyone heard of problems running Zope 2.6.1 on Redhat Linux 9.0 using ZServer/Python 2.1.3? Specifically, unstable web browsing unless running in single thread mode, particularly when accessing the management interface, and crashing when ZServer FTP is accessed (ie. through port 8021)?
We have this problem, from an installation from the binary tarbell onto a clean installation of RH9.0 running on x86.
If this is a common problem - is there a solution?
You are at the point to change your OS. Enter the world of Debian/Linux. Move NOW! :-)) We discussed this problem a few days ago on this list. RedHat changes in RH 9 standard kernel to POSIX thread library for Linux. You have two choices: 1) Upgrade from RedHat 9.0 standard kernel 2.4.20-8 to 2.4.20-13.9 and upgrade your glic and glic-common to 2.3.2-27.9. Be carefull at this point and choose the right kernel and(!) glibc for your processor type. If you have an i686, but install i386 packages, your system will useless FOR EVER. see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88456 You can download rpm packages from redhat errata website or via ftp from ftp.redhat.de/pub/redhat/updates/9/en/os Installing RPMs: rpm -Uvh glic-2.3.2-27.9-xxx glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.xxx rpm -Uvh kernel-2.4.20-13.9-xxx Reboot the system. 2) Disbale POSIX thread library in the standard kernel by setting "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1" in the bash you use to start zope. Note: Since RedHat 8.0 use "-m" option for ps to see all threads, eg. ps -aum More Information: http://www.kerneltrap.org/node.php?id=422 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89601 Have fun with Debian M. -- Marcus Schopen (0> P.O.
