Hi Alex, The next version of Zope sends a message to the console if you're trying to run with the wrong version of Python. I think that this was your original problem, so I'll consider it fixed. ;-) - C On Sun, 2002-08-04 at 15:47, Alex Ganus wrote:
Chris & Chris:
Thank you for your time and suggestions.
The problem went away.
* I have upgraded to Python 2.2.1 (compilation). You still get the error with "python exception" but it looks benign as the server goes on in its merry ways. * Moving to Apache was another story as that too, needed an upgrade to 2.x - to solve some virtual hosts klutziness. Once I ran Zope through Apache everything was dandy.
Suppose that I am an average Joe (which might not be far from reality) that is unhappy with the Web interface that Oracle put in front of its server. I am looking for a better Web interface and learned about Zope. I am just trying to do a quick evaluation (normal under circumstances) of Zope. INSTALL.txt says that "Using ZServer is much easier..." Well, I am running in all kind of problems that are *not* obvious if you are a dilettante.
I can tell now that Zope is a great product with an exceptional potential. But so was UNIX (vs. Microsoft.) I know that you guys are besieged with many problems. However, at least a compatibility matrix ought to be included in the installation instructions.
That is, of course, if you ask me :-)
Many thanks and Good Luck!
Alex Ganus.

Hopefully, you are aware that any mature product in the industry has to have a bug reporting mechanism.
Maybe you're unaware of http://collector.zope.org?
- just their submittal acknowledged. A work around is an acceptable alternative, especially when is delivered by an engineer with a clear judgment. To shutdown the site for an hour or to reduce the usage of the product to some feature is, alas, not an acceptable solution.
You sound like you're paying for support here. Are you? BTW, have you read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"?
I do not expect you to like my fonts or style - our mutual feelings are in perfect harmony there.
This is an explicitly non-HTML list.
If it matters, I am using Python 1.5.2 on sunos5.
So, with any commercial software, they'd tell you to g jump for using an
unsupported platform ;-)
You really shouldn't be using Python 1.5.2 with Zoep 2.5.1. you should be using Python 2.1.3. Are you compiling from source?
As for PCGI, don't use it, stick Apache in front and use ProxyPass and/or rewrite rules...
cheers,
Chris
