RE: [Zope] Newbie question: can the ZODB be moved? On a different Server or HDD?
Hey Chris Why WinDoze? My boss is a MS Fanatic? :-( I can only work with what I am given. I am lucky to be trying an Open Source product! I have looked at LocalFS... that was my first thought. Unfortunately even though I have a few years at application programming, Python and the Concepts of Web Programming are completely new to me. I am finding myself in an awkward position. After reading everything I could get my hands on I simply could not figure out how to get going with it. It appears to me that most of the info on the net assumes a more basic level of knowledge than I possess at the moment. The LocalFS would be perfect for our needs. No. There were no error msg. Zope would not start. I thought it might have something to do with the line that said something about "at least one DB must be mounted at / for zope to start".

Why? ;-)
The reason for this is that we expect the DB to grow quite large. It will be holding PDF's.
Interesting. Have you looked at something like LocalFS so the PDF's themselves aren't stored in ZODB? Mindyou, can't see any problems with the way you ARE doing things...
%define RBSC Z:\zodb
<snip>
<zodb_db main> # Main FileStorage database <filestorage> path $RBSC/Data.fs <-------------------------------------- Here </filestorage> mount-point / </zodb_db>
I'd try path $RBSC\Data.fs, but what happened when you tried the above? Did you get any error messages? Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

How were you trying to start it? bin/runzope.bat might give you more information... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
