Hi... Usually (always?) this error occurs when Zope is started more than one time. It's very possible that Zope has been started as a service, and by trying to start it via the start.bat command, you're attempting to run it again... I'd try getting to the management interface if you know the port number it's running on without using the start.bat command.

hi all zopists,

i have seen how zope works on linux when one of my friend happened to install.. and it didn't take me any time to get a comfy feeling with it.

now i am trying on win nt platform.. and face some problems..

the initial installation or the start.bat doesn't get executed properly stating errors like "could not lock the database file. there must be another process that has opened the file." when there's no process which

is

using it.

looking forward for some urgent assistance on the same.

thanks and regards, madhavi.
