Hi,

We've just recently started www.linuxvideo.org with Zope and run into serious problems with our Zope Installation - Zope just hangs after 2-3 days running. :(

First our configuration:
2 x Intel Celeron 433MhZ Processor
128MB RAM
Linux 2.2.13
Zope 2.1.1-src (we had the same problems with 2.1.0, We've bound Zope to just 1 of 2 ip addresses on our system. We run the plain Zope Server on Port 80)
Python 1.5.2

Problem description:
After some time of running flawlessly, our Zope installation hangs without any error message. If you want to connect to www.linuxvideo.org via your browser you get an endless: "HTTP request sent; waiting for response.". Telnet to linuxvideo.org on port 80 _is_ possible:
When I "telnet linuxvideo.org 80" and type some gibberish, after some time the Medusa webserver reacts:
--snip--
HTTP/None 400 Bad RequestServer: Medusa/1.13
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 136
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 10:42:30 GMT
--snip--
...

My faked request is logged in Z2.log too (2nd line):
62.188.156.147 - - [29/Dec/1999:11:54:21 +0200] "GET /04devel/01index_status HTTP/1.0" 200 10117 "http://www.linuxvideo.org/04devel/05index_res" 195.34.156.176 - - [30/Dec/1999:10:42:30 +0200] "kjdsalfjklsdjfkalsfjsfdfsdafds" 400 269 "" ""

BUT no page will show up in any browser. Zope processes are working normal (no 100% CPU usage, ect.).

What can we do to prevent Zope from hanging like that again. Do you need some more debugging infos? (Please tell me what/how)

1000x Thanks in advance
