Hi guys, OK, I got python compiled with

make OPT="-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DHAVE_THREADS -DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=1000000"

and I compiled Zope 2.7 and I've familiarized myself with its unexpected new form. I have configured it to open with the ports shifted up 1000 to avoid conflicts with Zope 2.6 which is still running. This isn't a problem, is it? They're not even using the same Python. I also told it to listen only on the internal network address, for security. I can route that out through Apache which will completely eliminate random IIS/script-kiddie attacks on Zope..... right? Anyhow, it all seemed fine until the starting gun: -bash-2.05b$ sudo ./bin/runzope Password: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/src/Zope-2.7.0/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py", line 49, in ? run() [bla bla bla] File "/usr/local/src/Zope-2.7.0/lib/python/ZODB/__init__.py", line 18, in ? import cPersistence, Persistence ImportError: No module named cPersistence So I RTFM'd, and then python setup.py build_ext -if in the Zope source directory... then -bash-2.05b$ sudo ./bin/runzope .....and Zope 2.7 is now running!!! Zope Version (Zope 2.7.0, python 2.3.3, openbsd3) Python Version 2.3.3 (#1, Mar 25 2004, 12:48:50) [GCC 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease, propolice)] System Platform openbsd3 Thanks for your help, people! I will try migrating my stuff from the old server to the new (it's REALLY handy having both running in the meanwhile.) I'll see if this actually stabilizes it.
