Can't see new Plone installation
Hi all, Can't seem to figure this one out: - Just installed Plone and added a Plone site through the ZMI - After the install the redirect to view the Plone site doesn't complete, and I get an 'Action Canceled' error in the browser (IE6). However, it seems to install fine (a Plone site is created in the Zope root with all the usual forms, site error log, cookie crumbler, etc) and I can browse through and customise these elements. - If I try to view the Plone site (mydomain.com:8080/Plone) either directly in the address bar of the browser, or by clicking the View tab of my Plone instance, the browser lags for about a minute (this varies), then bombs out with an "Action Canceled" or a "Page Cannot be Displayed" error. The same effect occurs with Firefox. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? If you need any more info, please let me know.

You should better use the plone-users mailing lists...you'll find the smart Plone people there :-) -aj

Agreed. Info on those lists is available at http://plone.org/contact. FWIW, the Mark-One eyeball shows that the OP is running a way out-of-date Zope / Python; recent Plone versions are not going to be compatible with it. If you are running a Debian installation, then try installing the zope2.7 package, which will pull in python2.3, as well (I think).

Have you installed python via the Ports-System? An old Problem (as in solved with newer versions of the python-port since i think 2003) for errors with Plone on FreeBSD, is that python has to be compiled with a bigger stacksize. In the actual port version of Python 2.1 (python-2.1.3_7) this is fixed. So first update the Ports-System and then update the python port.

Hi Jochen, Thanks for the info. This is a strange one - it's a little awkward to find out what's going on, as it's a shared hosting facility with some kind of virtual private server setup on it. There seems to be two versions of python - 2.3.4 and 2.1.3. The 2.1.3 was installed when I installed Zope-2.6.3. However, if I call python from the command line, I get 2.3.4. How do I go about updating the version of python that Zope is using? In your experience, do you reckon that will solve the issue?

try e.g. calling python2.1 . If you have an uptodate portssystem you have several python ports, which could be installed in parallel, each with a seperate lib and sitepackages directory. lang/python (normally the newest version of python, now 2.4.1, installes an executable "python") lang/python21 (install an executable "python2.1") lang/python22 (likewise) lang/python23 (likewise)
How do I go about updating the version of python that Zope is using? In your experience, do you reckon that will solve the issue?
if you make an update to e.g. python 2.3.x, you would have to reinstall Zope (but i don't know if Zope 2.6.3 runs with python 2.3.x) Also look if the python 2.3.4 is compiled with the option "HUGE_STACK_SIZE" set to "on" (you can look at /var/db/ports/python23/options) If not, you have to reinstall it with this option set. So you can either update the python 2.1.3 to the newest version of the lang/python21 port (which includes the stacksize patch) and keep running the Zope 2.6.3 (but IIRC this is a rather buggy version of Zope) or update to the actual versions (Zope 2.7.6 with Python 2.3.5, but Python 2.3.4 should work too, both) If you have no Zope-Products installed, that doesn't work with the newer version, i would go to the 2.3.x/2.7.6 variant.

Unfortunately, python doesn't seem to have been installed from ports (at least, not directly). The environment I'm working on is a shared host implementing a virtual private server. To install python (and other tools), I have to use some kind of packager tool called vinstall. Unfortunately, this gives me no config options, except which version of python I wish to install.
How do I go about updating the version of python that Zope is using? In your experience, do you reckon that will solve the issue?
if you make an update to e.g. python 2.3.x, you would have to reinstall Zope (but i don't know if Zope 2.6.3 runs with python 2.3.x)
Also look if the python 2.3.4 is compiled with the option "HUGE_STACK_SIZE" set to "on" (you can look at /var/db/ports/python23/options) If not, you have to reinstall it with this option set.
I have sent a request to the hosts' support to get the Makefile.pre.in file, so I can determine what stack size they have set for the vinstall.
So you can either update the python 2.1.3 to the newest version of the lang/python21 port (which includes the stacksize patch) and keep running the Zope 2.6.3 (but IIRC this is a rather buggy version of Zope) or update to the actual versions (Zope 2.7.6 with Python 2.3.5, but Python 2.3.4 should work too, both)
I have been at this for several evenings now (can't do it during normal working hours in case I break the server [yeah, it's nice to have the confidence of superiors!]), and bit the bullet today, and tried to reinstall the latest of everything. I now have Zope 2.7.4 using Python 2.3.4. I can add all the various products in the Plone 2.0.5 tarball it all works, with the exception of CMFPlone. Once this directory is added, Zope refuses to respond. So, I'm still no closer to even identifying where the problem actually is, but my suspicion is still python. So much for the new Plone website tomorrow afternoon :)
If you have no Zope-Products installed, that doesn't work with the newer version, i would go to the 2.3.x/2.7.6 variant.
Thanks, Brian

i have my own freebsd servers (atm updating from 5.3-Stable to 5.4-Release), so i can use the ports directly. can you compile your own python? (remember to compile with the flag "-DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=0x100000" set, this is what the option HUGE_STACK_SIZE does, also don't forget to configure --with-threads) Don't know about the other patches/flags.
I have sent a request to the hosts' support to get the Makefile.pre.in file, so I can determine what stack size they have set for the vinstall.
don't know if it is visible there.

this is exactly the symptom when the stack size is not upped, so i think it is really this problem.
