[Zope] Zope deamon doesn't start any more

[Roland Giesler]

I have installed zope 2.7.0 using Mandrake urpmi (rpm installed) and
proceeded to play with zope.  All worked fine for about 4 hours.  Then I
downloaded the plone tarball, extracted it into the /var/lib/zope/Products/
folder, and used the zope control panel to restart zope.  It didn't start.
It looks like it starts, but does nothing.

[root at inet lib]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start
Starting zope: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py", line 207, in ?
    main()

    return func(arg)

    return _spawnvef(mode, file, args, None, execvp)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 504, in _spawnvef
    wpid, sts = waitpid(pid, 0)
OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes

[root at inet zope]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start
Starting zope: daemon process started, pid=7855

So it appears to be running.  But I cannot connect to it via a browser.
(Error: Connection refused)

My /var/log/zope/event.log doesn't have any more entries whether I try to
start zope or not:

2004-12-01T12:18:23 INFO(0) Zope Set effective user to "zope"

What could be wrong?
