[Zope] - Zope 1.9 NT/IIS 4.0 Problems

[Vincent Joseph]

Stefan,

If you are running zope as an NT service, read on....

This problem occured to me as well. And Brian Lloyd had the
following to say (BL>):

BL> Aaaaarrgghh... I've figured this out. This should only happen
BL> in cases where you are using IIS and the *NT Service* version
BL> of Zope. The NT Service version had no sys.argv, which cgi.py
BL> checks for if no QUERY_STRING is found in the environment. IIS
BL> apparently doesn't even set QUERY_STRING if there isn't one, so
BL> cgi.py tries to look at sys.argv which doesn't exist and...

BL> I've added a fix that will be in the next revision.

I am not sure if the fix did go into the next version (or if there
was a next version). Brian was kind enough to send me a "fixed"
zope1 executable (originally called pss.exe). I am not sure what
my distribution rights on zope are, so I am not attaching the
modified executable in this email. The modified exe was also sent 
to the mailing list.

Hope this helps,

Vincent
