Why don't you just run Apache in front of your Zope and save yourself a lot of headaches? jens On Jan 6, 2004, at 2:09, Mitch Trachtenberg wrote:

Hi,

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post -- any pointers to more appropriate lists will be appreciated.

I'm running Zope-2.6.2 with a modified ZServer built using the M2Crypto package, version 0.11. There is no server "in front of" ZServer, which is listening on port 9443. Things start up fine. In my log file, I get messages of the form:

2004-01-06T01:17:54 INFO(0) ZServer recv: closing channel <ZServer.HTTPS_Server.zhttps_channel connected xx.xx.xx.xx:1123 at 0x935270c channel#: 51 requests:> unexpected eof 2004-01-06T01:29:12 INFO(0) ZServer recv: closing channel <ZServer.HTTPS_Server.zhttps_channel connected xx.xx.xx.xx:1143 at 0x8f7e854 channel#: 71 requests:> (104, 'Connection reset by peer')

The server runs for about 1000 requests (at least it was 1000 the last time) and then stops responding. The process(es) still show up in a process listing. To get things rolling again, I have to use the stop script and then the start script.

I doubt any of the following information matters, but: -- all accesses are from two machines in two locations, both running recent versions of Explorer. -- the machine on which the server is running is very lightly loaded -- the served Zope pages are a Plone site, which connects to a MySQL database -- there is no log message related to the stop in response -- Zope appears to shut down and restart normally in response to the stop and start scripts -- the start script does NOT include the -D flag -- the Zope process is run from a regular user account -- there is no obvious way in which the "last request" differs from those that precede it

I'd be very grateful for any pointers or suggestions, and would be delighted to answer any questions that might help in diagnosing this. Thanks in advance.
