Hi When I start Zope it runs for a few seconds and then the process goes dead. This happened after I installed the 1.0 version of Plone (replacing RC1). Before doing this I backed up the /zope/var folder (but while Zope was running -not sure if that was wrong). Since I previously restarted Zope, I also changed the host name of the machine, and a few things relating to mail. I'm not sure what other changes my colleagues may have made. To fix the problem, I truncated the database as described in http://www.zope.org/Members/itamar/CorruptedZODB until it was reduced from 56 MB to 7 MB to no avail. Replacing Plone 1.0 with RC1 also did not solve the problem. What else can I try?
