root folder hangs on Contents in manager iface
I have a Zope-2.7.3 installation running on linux. I can no longer access the contents of the root folder in the manager interface using http. I see the left frame which shows acl_users, Control_Panel, etc, and when I click on any of them I see the views you would expect in the right frame, eg the Contents and Undo tabs. But when I click on http://localhost/manage_workspace, my browser hangs (tested on IE under windows XP and Firefox on linux). I can ftp into the root dir and do an ls and see the contents. The attempt to access manage_main just hangs there with a "Waiting for localhost" message in the status bar. I am not running a firewall. I shut down my 2.7.3 install and did clean install of 2.7.4 to a new dir (build notes below) and I got exactly the same problem running 2.7.4 from a clean install! So I thought something may be wrong with my python site-packages dir, which I temporarily hid by renaming it to site-pacakges.hide, but this was no help. Perhaps I have a bad system lib? Any ideas?

I've seen this too, but a restart cured it for me. stunnel problems were suspected but we never got a definite cause.

Definitely sounds odd, but I'd suggest that site-packages isn't a problem, and I don't know of a system lib that can cause such a specific problem.
zope> cd /var/tmp/build/Zope-2.7.4-0/ zope> ./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python --prefix=/usr/local/Zope-2.7.4 # add the prefix - default is opt!
Was /usr/local/bin/python from a source install of python? If not, I'd suggest trying a source install... Do you have any additional Zope products installed? If so, which ones? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
John, I've experienced this simptom too, and I cured it abandoning Apple Safari. In FireFox it work ok. Maybe this apply to your case too ? Hope this helps Bye Catonano

I only needed a Zope restart ;-) Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
