Hi,

I'm reposting my message of 3/12 because I haven't received any answers yet and it's quite a big problem for us. I have external methods that can lag the system for a cpl of minutes, so then I need other threads to keep serving the other users

any hints are appreciated. (ex. where can I define the # of zope threads if i'm using pcgi)

hi, I've had our zope site up for some time now without a

since a couple of days, only 1 python process gets spawned: nobody 11614 1 0 Nov 18 ? 2:24 python /usr/local/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py This used to be 4 of 'em, like it ought to be. Python is 1.52 and to my knowledge nothing has been changed to apache and pcgi (I use zope 2.0.1 as a virtual host under apache, using pcgi to call zope) have any of you experienced something alike or have suggestion where to look? (I know there's the -t swith for ZServer, but since I use pcgi_publisher.py instead of z2.py ...)

pcgi_publisher.py does not fire up Zope in multi-thread mode. You must run ZServer to get multiple threads. You can still use Apache and PCGI, ZServer understands PCGI requests. Run z2.py -h and look at the -p option. -Michel
