Do you have a referenec to a localFS object included on your entry page? Is the LocalFS source folder still intact on the server? LocalFS will keep the system from responding if the source folder does not exist (serious bug).

Developing Zope on local laptop [Win98se 192Mb, Zope 2.3.1] before upload to Linux server. A system crash last night and now Zope starts ok, but quits the moment I try to access it from a browser request:=>

self.file.flush() IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor Looks like a severe problem. I guess that crash has damaged some essential infrastructure, the socket library, a Python module or a ".pyc" file.

I would save my "var/Data.fs" (maybe install on the Linux system, to see it works). Then reinstall Zope, if necessary Python, and see whether things improve. The next reinstallation would be the socket library maybe Windows....
