Reinoud I think LocalFS is sending an error message to the "console" as a part of it's startup.. and somehow that is not valid process in your rc.local. I've heard of folks using redirection, and/or STUPID_LOG_FILE to solve this. -steve On Friday, March 1, 2002, at 11:45 AM, Reinoud van Leeuwen wrote:

Hi,

I have installed Zope 2.5.0 (with Python 2.1.2) on a FreeBSD 4.2 server behind Apache 1.3.20 with PCGI.

Zope is started at boot time from /etc/rc.local with the command /usr/local/zope/bin/zopectl start

After booting, LocalFS does not work. ErrorMessage is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/2.5.0/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 531, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/usr/local/WWW/zopetest.domain.com/Products/LocalFS/__init__.py", line 65, in ? traceback.print_exc() File "/usr/lib/python2.1/traceback.py", line 210, in print_exc print_exception(etype, value, tb, limit, file) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/traceback.py", line 122, in print_exception _print(file, 'Traceback (most recent call last):') File "/usr/lib/python2.1/traceback.py", line 13, in _print file.write(str+terminator) IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

(As you can see, the LocalFS product is installed in the Products directory of one site only)

But when I log in as root and issue the command /usr/local/zope/bin/zopectl restart manually it works (only with a warning:

/usr/local/zope/zope/lib/python/ts_regex.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regex module is deprecated; please use the re module import regex, regsub #, Sync /usr/lib/python2.1/regsub.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regsub module is deprecated; please use re.sub() DeprecationWarning)

But then it *does* work. Can anybody give me a clue what is different in starting it from rc.local and by hand?

TIA, Reinoud

After some debugging I found the solution: during the start process, the product tries to write a warning to sys.stderr. For some reason STDERR is not writable from /etc/rc.local. So the warning cannot be written, and this results in an exception, preventing the product from starting up at all. I solved this by changing the line in /etc/rc.local to: echo -n " Zope "; /usr/local/zope/bin/zopectl start 2>> /var/log/zopeboot Now the warning can be written somewhere and Zope boots complete.
