Did you build the exact same type of Zope (version, python, etc) with all the products? Have you run the utilities on your ZODB to make sure it is ok? Jake _______________________ http://www.ZopeZone.com On Wed, November 29, 2006 2:59 pm, Nancy Donnelly said:

757575Hi; Is anybody out there reading this list? Third question today, no responses, and boy am I in trouble. I went to backup my server's working HD on my new .5 teraflop HD and for some reason that wiped out the /var dirs in my Zope instances. I have backups of the Data.fs that aren't too old, but for some reason I can't get a working copy of Zope installed! I follow the tar, configure, make, make install, make instance without throwing anything special at the configure, then I edit zope.conf to enter the correct effective-user, but when I go to runzope, it throws a cPersistence error. Well, I yahoo'd that and found out I had to run "python setup.py build_ext -if" to knock it out. But why should I have to do that at all? That's not standard procedure. Anyway, I got past that point, but now when I try runzope I get the error that follows. And I've tried every way I can think of to get around it. All the permissions are correct. Once I actually got to the point where it said Zope was ready to serve, could surf to the 111.222.333.444:8080 page, but try to get into the "manage" page and it won't accept my username/password. I ran zpasswd.py and still couldn't get in! Guys, I'm exhausted. I've been at this for 10 hours! Any help would really be appreciated. Nancy

The permission on the Data.fs file does not allow it to be accessed by zope. You need to chown/chgrp Data.fs so that zope can access it (or chmod it). hth Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancy Donnelly To: zope@zope.org Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 2:59 PM Subject: [Zope] My Sad Tale Of Woe 757575Hi; Is anybody out there reading this list?

I have backups of the Data.fs that aren't too old, but for some reason I can't get a working copy of Zope installed! What Zope version you used before? As I see now you're installing 2.9.6.

I follow the tar, configure, make, make install, make instance without throwing anything special at the configure, I prefer: as root: configure --prefix=/opt/Zope/2.9.6, make, make install as zope: /opt/Zope/2.9.6/mkzopeinstance (there you'll create new user and new instance) as zope: ./zopectl start (from instance/bin)

If this works and you're able to login to ZMI, try to copy your old data.fs to instance/var. To add new user, stop your Zope instance and go to instance/bin/zopectl write:

useradd user passwd (or adduser, I don't remember)
