Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

OK. Allow me to clarify. Is there any way to redirect the path for the 'access' path when it should be somewhere other than INSTANCE_HOME? Say, for example, I have multiple instances of Zope databases, with one Zope install, and I want to use a single superuser, or access file. Not what Im' doing, but closer to a mebbe-real-world use. As far as I can tell, Zope wants 'access' located at '../INSTANCE_HOME'. Any ideas? Or am I just wrong (And/Or, that is).

'fraid to tell ya that INSTANCE_HOME is hard wired into the code. We're not likely to change that lest we want to get the 'evil eye of Jim'. But seriously, it is a pretty good idea to have something like this in one place, for us at least, not you. I cannot therefore recommend that you modify your Zope. I also cannot recommend that you would modify it in lib/python/AccessControl/User.py in the Super class around line 270 or so. -Michel

Or any ideas for getting around NFS problems without putting '/var' in /tmp?

Thanks,

Chris

OK. After finally getting my ISP to migrate me to a server with a current Python, I once again leap into the fray. I've placed my 'var/' into '/tmp/', to get around NFS, and updated my instance home to /tmp. Now I have a shiny new problem to play with. Zope can't see 'access'. Is the path to access assumed from INSTANCE HOME, or is there some place I can specify it? (I'd kinda rather avoid putting it in /tmp, ya know?). And before ya ask, yes there _is_ an access file in /---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/, and it does contain a "superuser:" style entry. I've included the traceback, and my Zope.cgi below.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Chris

PS Any comments on using '/tmp' to contain 'var/' as an NFS bypass? '/tmp' is not mounted via NFS.
