Hi Maik, Thanks for the reply and it is a pleasure to know you. Actually, I am packing the ZODB every week. If I install Zope 2.5.1 in Linux, will it automatically install the correct python-interpreter that support large file ?? Anyway, can I say that there is no way to solve this 2GB problem in Windows. Please reply. Thank you.

Hi,
My name is Kai wee from Singapore. Currently, my company is using Zope installed in Win200 as a content mangement tools.
However, the ZODB is growing and it is going to hit 2GB soon.
Is there any alternative ways to counter this problem ?? If I move the Zope to Linux in Window2000, will it support ZODB more them 2GB ??
Please reply. Your help is greatly appreciated.

hi, the linux-binary-zope-distro does not have the large-file-support built in the python-interpreter [hit me if I'm wrong]. you should use the RPMs for python2.1 from python.org and a Zope-Source-Installation. This should work. greetings again, maik WONG,KAI-WEE (Non-HP-Singapore,ex5) wrote:

No there *IS NO 2GB* problem in Windows! the 2Gb Filesize limit is a problem only on some Unix systems.

Hi, This is not correct. There is a 2GB problem in Zope running on Win2K. Win2K supports files larger than 2GB alright, but Zope or rather Python in the standard distribution does not. Douwe

ok true. What I meant to say was that there is no "W2K 2 GB filesize problem". If zope (or Python) has a problem with large files, it is not a windows problem either bottomline: migrating from Windows to Linux, without changing anything else will not solve the problem. -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen reinoud.v@n.leeuwen.net http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________
FWIW, here is a sample "configure" command that can be used to configure the Python source build for large file support under Linux: CC='gcc -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'\ /home/zope/src/Python-2.1.3/configure \ --prefix=/home/zope/opt/Python-2.1.3 --with-thread On Tue, 2002-07-30 at 08:10, Reinoud van Leeuwen wrote:

Wrong, yes there is, after hitting the file size limit several times on Win2K, I can attest to that. Whilst Windows may be able to support large files, older versions of Python cannot. As was stated before you either have to compile you Python with large file support or use Python 2.2 which does have large file support enabled by default http://www.python.org/2.2/ -- Andy McKay @gmweb Consulting http://www.agmweb.ca

I've noticed several messages about Python 2.2.1 and Zope but never heard back from anyone who's tried it. Does it work at all? What are the stumbling blocks?

Python 2.2 is not officially supported by Zope. Almost surely, you will get it work with Zope but you will need to tweak the "setup.py" and "Makefiles". Apparently, nobody did it up to now. Dieter
There is no 32 bit limit on windows (NT derived) file handling. I've used the 64 bit API's myself. There is in Python if not compiled for large file support, as you note. But leave Window's out of the blame game here. The only reason Windows would prevent you from having huge files is if you were using FAT instead of NTFS. And, dammit, don't make me defend Windows again. I feel all slimy. Charlie.
