It should not be a problem. Simply stop the running Zope (./stop) and then restart. You apparently had the server running when you attempted to start it. You may need to do the kill by hand if the Z2.pid file is not correct. On Wed, 4 Jun 2003, chasee wrote:

Hi:

I got this error, when starting the Zope server again. I have had this problem before, then I found out there was another processing I did not kill still running the server. this time, I made sure I had no other processes that are running the server or making use of any files in Zope. Please help!
