the machine name of the machine you are using cannot be resolved to an IP. make sure the machine name is resolvable. use hostname -s <newhostname> to change the hostname if needed. this is described here under the header "Zope":: http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/docs/zope_osx (i assume you are running OS X, i think Fink is OS X-only) jens On Tuesday, August 13, 2002, at 08:35 , baiewola@netscape.net wrote:

I just installed Zope 2.5.1. It installed alright and seemed to be running okay. I did some other installations for Fink and MySQL, then I went back to Zope to change the default startup switch from -D to -Z '' and now it something strange happens. It seems to start up but a few seconds later it spits out this line:

[1] Done ./start

If I look at the running processes immediately after startup up Zope (and before receiving the "done" message), there is a z2.py process running for a few seconds.

I thought maybe I screwed up the start file, but changing it back to -D didn't work, so I started Zope up myself from the command line, like this: myuser% /usr/local/bin/python2.1 /Applications/Zope/z2.py -D

And I received a startup exception that I don't understand: ------ 2002-08-13T12:06:26 INFO(0) ZODB Opening database for mounting: '12691952_1028915609.880719' ------ 2002-08-13T12:06:26 INFO(0) ZODB Mounted database '12691952_1028915609.880719' at /temp_folder ------ 2002-08-13T12:06:27 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /Applications/Zope/z2.py, line 558, in ?
