we have just installed zope to a new server (RedHat 7.3, Zope 2.6.1, Python 2.1.3, Apache 1.3.27, multiprocessor: Dual Xeon HotSwap, ICP Vortex Hardware Raid 10).

At the moment we have the impression python 2.1.3 on redhat 7.3 does not compile the way we wanted to do (./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-lcrypt --with-thread=/usr/lib/). We are still trying .... ;-) Seila -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!
