Hello folks, first of all, I've installed Zope on my FreeBSD workstation (from the ports) and I love it. I can't really do anything productive yet ;o)), but the potential and power of the program's clear to me. Now, after talking to my boss, I plan to set up the relaunch of our website to be based on Zope. As OS I'd like to pick OpenBSD, since it's nice, fast and secure and I generally have an affection towards xBSDs.... However, after installing the Python packages that comes shipped with the OpenBSD 2.8 CDs, the Zope installation script runs nicely, but when I try and access the management screen, I only see LOADS of error messages: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: ParserError Error Value: Expected node type 12, got 312. Could anybody enlighten me??? I don't know Python (yet), so the tracebacks are not too informative for me ...

Are you using Python 2.0? It's not yet compatible with Zope, though efforts are being made. Just enter "python" to find out. Shane

No, I'm not. At first I tried to take the version that comes shipped as a package with OpenBSD 2.8, which is 1.6 with tk and threads compiled in (at least that's what the package name suggests). When that didn't work, I pkg_deleted the package and then downloaded the 1.52 as noted in the Zope specs, compiled and installed it - it seemed to run, but Zope cr***ed out with a python.core after trying to access the management screen. The machine itself definitely is okay, techwise. The python compilation and installation didn't show any errors. The OpenBSD installation is totally virgin otherwise. I don't really know what else I could do. Right now it looks pretty much as if I'm going to switch to FreeBSD, my second favourite :-| Has anyone got Zope 2.2.5 running under OpenBSD 2.8??? If so, I'd be really curious what steps you followed to get it to work.- Cheers, Jan -- Radio HUNDERT,6 Medien GmbH Berlin - EDV - j.muenther@radio.hundert6.de
Hello Jan:

You will have to use FreeBSD or use OpenBSD 2.7. 2.8 will not work because there is a bug in the threading library included with OpenBSD 2.8. Zope triggers it when you call the management screen. However, in the Zope code for the management screens there are "thread-safe" calls used which are not, as far as I know, used elsewhere in Zope. Maybe there is a bug in that code? But for now I believe the bug to be in OpenBSD 2.8. I have not found anything to suggest that it has been fixed or looked at. None of the patches released so far for 2.8 mention it. I went through this in early December. Luke
Seems you already found out what's wrong. Why didn't you post anything on the OBSD misc list so that they can fix it? Ragnar

Whereas I couldn't reproduce the error in a prior thread this time I can. On my OBSD 2.8 machine running python 1.52 -with-thread CPU load goes up to 99% when I try to access the management screens. There was a discussion on the OBSD ports list to create a 1.52 port. Did you check whether there is and whether that's solving the problem? Ragnar
