Chris & Chris:


Thank you for your time and suggestions.

The problem went away.

* I have upgraded to Python 2.2.1 (compilation). You still get the error
with "python exception" but it looks benign as the server goes on in its
merry ways.
* Moving to Apache was another story as that too, needed an upgrade to
2.x - to solve some virtual hosts klutziness. Once I ran Zope through
Apache everything was dandy.

Suppose that I am an average Joe (which might not  be far from reality)
that is unhappy with the Web interface that Oracle put in front of its
server. I am looking for a better Web interface and learned about Zope.
I am just trying to do a quick evaluation (normal under circumstances)
of Zope. INSTALL.txt says that "Using ZServer is much easier..." Well, I
am running in all kind of problems that are *not* obvious if you are a
dilettante.

I can tell now that Zope is a great product with an exceptional
potential. But so was UNIX (vs. Microsoft.) I know that you guys are
besieged with many problems. However, at least a compatibility matrix
ought to be included in the installation instructions. 

That is, of course, if you ask me :-)


Many thanks and Good Luck!


Alex Ganus.

Maybe you're unaware of http://collector.zope.org?

You sound like you're paying for support here. Are you?
BTW, have you read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"?

This is an explicitly non-HTML list.

So, with any commercial software, they'd tell you to g jump for using an

unsupported platform ;-)

You really shouldn't be using Python 1.5.2 with Zoep 2.5.1. you should
be using 
Python 2.1.3. Are you compiling from source?

As for PCGI, don't use it, stick Apache in front and use ProxyPass
and/or 
rewrite rules...

cheers,

Chris
