Starting zope automatically on Linux Mandrake 8.0
I have one for all you linux gurus, I recently installed Zope 2.3.2 after much headache..finally it work that to help from Chad Crawley. I have a problem with linuxconf picking up the zope script from /etc/rc.d/init/d. The file exists and it has execute permissions. I can : ./zope {start|restart|etc..} form the command line. However, when I try to restart the zope server from linuxconf it does not report it as a service and zope does not start automatically when the server is rebooted. Is there a special script editor to use?? Or can I just use pico to edit the text in the script? Do i need to include the infomation to start zope automatically anywhere else?? Does anyone have a pdf on how to write the scripts??? Thanx in advance, Karl Munroe P.S. The How-to Start zope on linus Redhat did not work for me on Linux Mandrake

Try chkconfig --add zope or chkconfig --level 345 zope on -- Chris Green <cmg@uab.edu> "Yeah, but you're taking the universe out of context."
I tried to use chkconfig to add the zope service but got the following replies chkconfig --add zope : service zope does not support chkconfig chkconfig --level 345 zope on service zope does not support chkconfig the details of my zope install are : Unpacked from binay distrubution to /var/zope script zope in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ that I can use to start zope like so: /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start Thanks in advance for you help Karl Munroe -----Original Message----- From: Chris Green [mailto:cmg@uab.edu] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 5:57 PM To: Karl Munroe Cc: ZOPE Mailing List Subject: Re: [Zope] Starting zope automatically on Linux Mandrake 8.0 "Karl Munroe" <komunroe@uwimona.edu.jm> writes:

If you are still using my startup script, then you can edit the script and replace the header of the startup file with the following comment or download a revised version from http://sidhe.yi.org/chad/misc/zope . #!/bin/bash # # zope Zope web-application server. # # chkconfig: 345 85 15 # description: Zope web-application server. # # processname: zope # pidfile: /var/run/zope.pid -- Chad Crawley On Tue, Jun 12, 2001 at 08:07:26AM -0800, Karl Munroe wrote:

Scripts need to be prepared in a special way before chkconfig can use them. You can use what ever editor you want as long as it can save text. Add something like this in the beginning of your script (before code, but after #!/...): # chkconfig: 345 90 15 # description: Start and stop the Zope server. Do that and the chkconfig commands should work fine. Read more about chkconfig in man chkconfig. Martin Skøtt mskott@image.dk On Tue, 12 Jun 2001, Karl Munroe wrote:

Strange, did you do as I mentioed in my mail? Is the script marked as executable? I don't know anything about LinuxConf so I can't help you there. You could try to manually create the necessary links to make it boot automaticly, but chkconfig enabling yor script is propably the best.

Have you tried looking at: http://www.zope.org/Members/markoer2/resources/howtos/redhat_startup (Discusses startup scripts in general, especially for RedHat-based systems, of which Mandrake is one.) I would also recommend: http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO Which I have used to install Zope on Mandrake 7.1 and 8.0; RedHat 6.1, 7.0 and 7.1; and Debian Potato and Libranet 1.9.0. The latter article is a tad dated, as it isn't current with the latest versions of zope. But if you substitute 'admin' for 'superuser'; note that there is an extra Data.fs? file (which I doubt you have to worry about, as this appears to be one of your first installations), you should be able to work your way though. Good luck, Ron Karl Munroe wrote:
