Zope and Python on FreeBSD 5.1
Hello again, I read on the net that there have been issues with Zope/Plone and Python on FreeBSD. Does anybody know what the status is today? Our production server is running FreeBSD 5.1 and Python 2.1.3. Zope itself seems to be stable, but some products are behaving strangely (on the other hand they behaved strangely on RedHat Linux too). -Petter-

I've expiriensed frequent Zope crashes on FreeBSD. The problem was solved after installing python 2.1.3 from ports. The bug is fixed in ports since (don't remember exactly, but a long time ago). Just don't build python yourself.

you can build python yourself, but you will need to patch it with the infamous patch. with python 2.3.x you need to set CFLAGS, or that is the only way i have discovered so far, in the short time i have put into it. <--> george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ "Quality Zope Hosting" Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ ICQ: 51907738 ~ Sales (USA): 1-866-967-3669

If you're building Python 2.3.x from the FreeBSD port, I think all you have to do is use the WANT_HUGE_STACK_SIZE knob, something like: cd /usr/ports/lang/python make WANT_HUGE_STACK_SIZE=1 install I've been doing that for a while now, and haven't seen any problems with Zope 2.7 or Plone 2.0 Barry

ah yes, that's right. i was thinking of building it outside of ports. <--> george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ "Quality Zope Hosting" Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ ICQ: 51907738 ~ Sales (USA): 1-866-967-3669
Hello,

Some time ago, the problem was the default stack size (for python) used under FreeBSD. For Version 2.1 this is fixed. For the other versions there is a switch in the 'Makefile' in ports directory. Increase the stack size and plone or CMF schould run without problems. bye by Wolfgang
