hi, got one cmf (1.3.1) - plone (1.0.1) site going on a mandrake 9.1 box. Zope Version: Zope 2.6.1 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.3, linux2) Python Version: 2.1.3 (#1, Apr 19 2003, 01:08:28) [GCC 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)] System Platform: linux2 behind apache on the same box. has been working with no worries for about 10 months. i've been on a 10 days holidays with no internet connection. today i came back and if i try to go to Control_Panel --> Database_Management it hangs with no error message. if i try to go from the zope root folder to the undo tab it hangs, sometimes painting just the first 10 or 20 pixels from the top. i guess the problem has something to do with the images stored in the db which cannot be rightly retrieved. i tried to go into the cmf site directly (not through apache) with lynx from localhost and it does work (both cmf site and root_folder undo). maybe somebody (2 other not so savvy people got #root) messed up with the unix system date - it was 2 hours in advance. the undo list states that the product formulator was installed today (i haven't done any activity on zope for the last 2 weeks) - and that product has been happily working for the last 3 months. all in all, a bit of a mess. i would be grateful if anybody could give me a couple of hints: 1- command line way of browsing the actions list similar to the undo web interface, i.e. a log of transactions. 2- command line way to check and run a consistency routine on the zodb. i went into the utilities directory, but when i try to run the *.py scripts they tell me that the ZOPE object doesn't exist (my encyclopedic ignorance pours out from this silly questions...). thanks, simon
