hey everyone,

i bet this has been asked before, but i just subscribed to the list yesterday...

i am running zope 1.10.3 on redhat 5.2 with python 1.5.1, using the built-in ZHTTPServer

- what is the best way to bind ZHTTPServer to port 80? i looked at the chain of scripts starting the server process but i have not been able to specify the port-argument successfully. looking at the documentation yields conflicting advice, if any...

Specify a -p argument to the ZopeHTTPServer process. alternatively you can hardwire it, see the very end (port=9673) of the ZopeHTTPServer/ZopeHTTPServer.py file.

- trying to shut down the server process from the management-control panel "shutdown"-button doesn't work. the traceback in the page source says:

Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/src/Zope-1.10.3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File /usr/src/Zope-1.10.3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 590, in publish (Info: /Control_Panel/manage_shutdown) File /usr/src/Zope-1.10.3-src/lib/python/App/ApplicationManager.py, line 222, in manage_shutdown (Object: Navigation) File /usr/src/Zope-1.10.3-src/lib/python/BoboPOS/SimpleDB.py, line 802, in save_index IOError: (13, 'Permission denied')

Your ZopeHTTPServer process probably doesn't have permission to write the database index file to the to the /var directory. It probably *does* have permission to write to the Data.bbb file *in* the var directory (otherwise it wouldn't work at all). Since the database index file is just an optimization, and not required for Zope to start up, everything works for you until your Zope process tries to save the index file.

help is highly appreciated. what i am working on is an intranet-based customer database with web front-end. this is a class project for my master's program and i intend on dazzling the professor, whose solutions and projects almost always exclusively involve micro$oft-trash, of which i am utterly sick after a few projects with e.g. SQL server and ASP.

I would not suggest running ZopeHTTPServer for a grade. It is not production software. It was intended to allow people to quicky try out Zope back before we had ZServer, but now that there is ZServer, and it is just as simple to use as as ZopeHTTPServer, I would suggest trying that. Now that I think about it, I propose that we unbundle ZopeHTTPServer from all future releases of Zope. -Michel
