[Zope] ack! Zope stopped starting as a Windows Service

[Chris Curvey]

Everything was going so well today, too....

Zope was installed as part of the Plone 2 installer on Win2K. Has been 
running fine for several months.

I was adding some issues to my collector, and things started hanging up on 
my system. After reboot, the Zope service did not start, trying to start it 
manually through the service manager gives

"could not start the zope instance at c:\program files\Plone2\Data service 
on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. There could be an 
internal windows error or an internal service error."

the last three messages in the error log are:

total failure getting the folderlisting action for the folder
http://compaq.antiques:8080/Knowledgebase/tech/collector.2005-01-07.332951554 


trying to restart the server via the service manager does not create a
new event log.

I can start Zope manually via runzope.bat, and it will work, though it gives 
me this error:

C:\Program Files\Plone 2\Zope\lib\python\Zope\Startup \run.py" -C 
"C:\Program Fil

Help! I was using that Zope instance as a spare brain, and my last backup 
is....[expletive deleted]... too old to be useful.
