Hi Chris, I am not sure what influence this has, but from a reply I had http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2001-June/093893.html it was suggested that you should chenge the PYTHONNAME to something else as in http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2001-June/093893.html Hope this is of help Norman -----Original Message----- From: zodb-dev-admin@zope.org [mailto:zodb-dev-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Chris Withers Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 10:59 AM To: zodb-dev@zope.org Subject: [ZODB-Dev] PYTHONHOME Hi, What influence does the PYTHONHOME environment variable have over python and a ZEO StorageServer? I tried the following start script for the ZSS: #! /bin/sh INSTANCE_HOME=/usr/local/hosting/accounts/sds export INSTANCE_HOME cd $INSTANCE_HOME PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/zope/2.4.0b2_base export PYTHONHOME STUPID_LOG_FILE=$INSTANCE_HOME/logs/sds.slog export STUPID_LOG_FILE ZEO_SERVER_PID=$INSTANCE_HOME/var/MAIN_ZEO_SERVER.pid export ZEO_SERVER_PID exec python2.1 $PYTHONHOME/lib/python/ZEO/start.py \ -h tachyon.nipltd.com\ -p 6969\ -u sds\ "$@"\

/usr/local/hosting/accounts/sds/logs/zstdout.log 2>&1

But it kept failing with weird error messages: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.0b2_base/lib/python/ZEO/start.py", line 94, in ? import sys, os, getopt, string ImportError: No module named os ...until I removed PYTHONHOME from the script. What was I doing wrong, what should I have been doing? cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
