Please: how can I delete something from the Zope database with defunct Zope management forms??
Have you tried to shutdown Zope thru the Medusa monitor service?
I did stop en restart Zope, without success. Here is the problem again, refrased: We have a website running with Zope. We tried to install a package, but somehow, we installed string.py and split2.py in /usr/lib/zope and in a products directory. They are both registered in the root of Zope management as external methods. Probable due to these string.py and split2.py, we are unable to submit HTML-forms. Not in the Zope management pages and not in our own forms. We cannot change our website anymore! We deleted string.py and split2.py from the harddisk, but they are still registered in Zope as external methods. We also upgraded from 2.1.6 to 2.2.4 (under Debian), to no avail. How do we get rid of the external methods? How can we solve this problem? We still cannot change our website. Any help is greatly appreciated. Edwin Martin.
