[Zope] Changing a Zope environment variable?

Thu, 18 Jul 2002 11:13:10 +1000

Thanks Jerome/Chris,

Adding a new Windows System Variable, and restarting the Zope service, =
didn't seem to do the trick...

But, modifying start.bat to look like this -

"E:\Zope\Zope-2.5.1\bin\python.exe" "E:\Zope\Zope-2.5.1\z2.py" -w 80 =
ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS=3D180 -D %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Works great. The entry in z2.py (ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS=3D180) is not =
required.

But I still have the problem of wanting Zope to run as a winnt service =
=3D\

You've successfully created a Python variable but you haven't set an
environment variable. ;-)

In Windows NT/2000/XP, I believe the incantation for setting
environment variables is either:

  - Use the Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced ->
Environment Variables tab
    and set a "system variable" by clicking "New"

   or

  - In your Zope's START.BAT file, insert on a line above any of the
others:

    set ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS=3D20

HTH,

- C

Thanks Jerome,

My Zope server is running on a Windows platform. After adding the
following entry in z2.py (assuming this is the right place to do
so)...

ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS=3D180

And restarting the Zope WinNT service, the Transient Object
Container's
timeout value is still set to 20 mins?!

in Zope's startup script. (/etc/init.d/zope with my Debian)

the ZShell software available from
http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/
also allows you to modify them while running, but possible collateral
damage of such an action remains to be investigated (anyway it works).
