[Zope] Packing Data.fs
I know zope makes a copy of Data.fs before packing. Is it possible to specify a location other than zope/var to place that copy?

So, in other words, there isn't one. I take it you're a big fan of ZEO. ;-) I guess I'll check it out. I've been using Zope for 7-ish years and just never bothered. Well exactly. ZEO is not only for scaling Zope to multiple app serving clients, it's the way that ZODB allows multiple processes to access a single database. Think of it in the same way as you'd thing of something like MySQLDB, psycopg or DCOracle2... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope] Packing data.fs programmatically
I am using the following module to pack my data.fs programmatically before a backup is made. This was largely taken out of the Zopelabs cookbook - thanks! def packZODB(): try: import os, sys os.chdir(/path/to/Zope/python) sys.path+=['/path/to/Zope/python/was/required/to/load/Zope/module'] import Zope Zope.configure(/path/to/zope.conf) app = Zope.app() app.Control_Panel.Database.manage_pack(days=0) get_transaction().commit() app._p_jar.close() return 1 except Exception, inst: for arg in inst.args: print Oh dear! %s % arg -- Now for the wierd bit. I successfully ran the code that went into this module line-by-line in the Python interpreter. The data.fs was beautifully packed. However, when I run this script from the command line (through another script that acts as a hook) the line app = Zope.app() fails with the error No such file or directory. Now I am confused, coz the code lines that you would expect to fail if either of the required paths were not correct ran quite happily. I am running Python 2.3.5 and Zope 2.7. Does anyone have any thoughts?
