Hello, Recently I have been having some severe stability problems using zope and oracle together. Zope has been segfaulting on a regular basis, usually every 10-15 mintues. When I looked into it a while back I came to the conclusion it was a problem with the linux version of oracle (an incompatibility with glibc 2.1), but I have tested it on solaris now and I am having the same problems. I have been able to live with it for development (only takes a few seconds to restart automatically), and assumed it was only a problem on linux, but for production (which will be on solaris) this is obviously not an option as the site will be under a much higher load. The details of my configuration are: Linux: Redhat 6.2 (intel) Oracle 8.1.6 Python 1.5.2 (compiled from sources --with-threads) Zope 2.2.2 (compiled from sources) ZOracleDA 2.2.0b1 (compiled from sources, also tried 2.1.0) Solaris: Solaris 8 (intel) Oracle 8.1.5 Python 1.5.2 (compiled from sources --with-threads) Zope 2.2.2 (compiled from sources) gcc 2.95.2 ZOracleDA 2.2.0b1 (compiled from sources) DCOracle Setup file used (tweaked Setup-8.1.5): *shared* ORACLE_INCLUDES=$(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/demo -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/network/public -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/plsql/public ORACLE_L=-laio -lclntsh ORACLE_LIBS=$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/ $(ORACLE_L) oci_ oci_.c -I$(ORACLE_INCLUDES) -L$(ORACLE_LIBS) -DDCORACLE8 Buffer Buffer.c I suspect that it may be a problem with threads & DCOracle. If I compile just DCOracle (either version 1.3.0, 1.3.1 or 1.3.2), no zope, I still have the problems (even just by doing an 'import ocidb' it segfaults), but if I compile python without threads then I have no problems (I will need to run zope multithreaded however - the site will be handing a fair bit of traffic). I have also tried linking with pthreads instead of solaris's standard threads library (as has been suggested on this list), but it still segfaulted. I haven't been able to find a solution on the web or any mailing lists so far... but I assume there are a lot of other zope users running zope with oracle who are not experiencing these problems. Zope has been great so far from a development point of view, but this issue is turning out to be a showstopper. Any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks in advance, Peter Kelly pmk@post.com
