[Zope] Help with CVS ZEO2 Client, Server on same Win32 machin e

[Meilicke, Scott]

Why does running zope as a service on win32 suck?  I have had good luck with
my setup - zope 2.4.3, NT4, no ZEO.

Thanks - Scott

Ouch. Don't do this unless you _really_ have to. Running as a service sucks
in 
so many special ways :-S

Probably. Set a STUPID_LOG_FILE at check what ends up in there. You should
get 
some messages saying that ZEO is serving a storage on a port.

Uninstall Pythonwin for bnow and see if this goes away.

Also, try the following as it has the correct slashes:
C:\Program Files\Zope>bin\python.exe lib\python\ZEO\start.py -p 8800

BTW, why are you trying to start two storage servers? You want one storage 
server and one or more clients...

PS: Where did you put your custom_zodb.yp file?
PPS: Look at using INSTANCE_HOME's, the fact that you're not may be what's 
fouling you up...
