Bug 19333 – /etc/init.d/zope failed to start

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Rob Kroeger 2003-04-14 19:48:08 UTC]

the /etc/init.d/zope script in zope-2.5.1 does not successfully start zope
because the script fails to have #!/sbin/runscript as its first line.  

Further, it also fails to use python2.1 (recommended) and instead attempts to
use python2.2 (to its ultimate detriment.)

http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~rjkroege/zope contains a version of the script that
I modified to work.

The script also depends on the command /usr/lib/portage/bin/use which was not
available on my system.  I hacked one in python: 
http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~rjkroege/use that might be useful.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/zope start
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Zope failed to start

Expected Results:  
Zope should have started

zope 2.5.1 seems a bit outdated. Have you tried zope-2.6.1? It's in Portage and it doesn't have the problems with old one you've found. I use 2.6.1 on few production locations and cannot report any problems of zope itself so far.

[Comment 2 Rob Kroeger 2003-04-25 10:36:16 UTC]

I have now tried zope-2.6.1.

There are other problems -- I will file a separate bug.  They are actually worse in that (at least so far) they appear to be more difficult to fix.

Does this problem still occur?

[Comment 4 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-10-11 13:48:49 UTC]

your two links point to the same file, the init script is missing ;)

could you please test zope-2.6.1 on sparc?

shell we close this bug as it is working in zope-2.6* ?

if this still occurs please reopen
