how about posting the contents of that custom_zodb.py, since it is very obviously the piece that makes things break???
# custom_zodb.py from ZEO.ClientStorage import ClientStorage port = 9000 Storage = ClientStorage(('localhost', port))
p.s.: custom_zodb.py goes into the root of an INSTANCE_HOME, is that what your /usr/local/Zope/var really is?
If I don't install ZEO, that's where the Data.fs for non-ZEO Zope lives. This is what /usr/local/Zope/start looks like: #! /bin/sh reldir=`dirname $0` INST_HOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export INST_HOME export STUPID_LOG_FILE='/var/tmp/zope.log' export STUPID_LOG_SEVERITY=-999 exec /usr/local/bin/python2.1 \ $INST_HOME/z2.py \ -D "$@" \ -u zope Thanks, // mark -
