Linux 2.2.12; python 1.5.2; pentium 166; 64 Mb RAM; almost no swapping right now. Just installed Zope in /usr/zope. I tried it on one local system to see what I could do with it. I compiled it on another system that's connected to the net. On that system I set up a special password and group for it. Run as root, UID set to that user. This is the real question: what can I do to get information about why it dies? The only real change I made was to remove the -D "$@" from the start file. I don't know if it will means anything; but it's located at www.inxservices.com:8080/SOM/BulletinBoard. I get an error from python that I don't understand (on both machines -- the original test machine and the one described here): Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
