Title: Starting Zope/Plone on reboot
Post by: Rien on April 02, 2005, 08:34:45 PM

Hi all,

I have Zope/Plone running on my SME 6.0.1-01 server and installed it from source. To start the Zope application server I have to run:

Code: [Select]

# /home/e-smith/files/ibays/zopeinstance/files/bin/zopectl start

How can I use the template-system to make the Zope application server automatically start at reboot?

I have checked the HowTo's but I can't find anything usefull.

Rien,
 The simplest way to do this is to enter the start command

Quote

/home/e-smith/files/ibays/zopeinstance/files/bin/zopectl start

to the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local
May not be the proper way but is the easiest, should be no need for templates as SME default does not touch this file.

Regards
Jack

Hi Jackl,

Thanks for your reply. I will follow your advise.
Is there any documentation about this stuff?

Thanks,

Rien,

The way to know if you need to create a template is to view the file if it warns that this file is automatically updated by the SME software then you need to create a template or use of the server-manager will overwrite your changes. Also if you upgrade you might have to modify the file again where if you create a custom template the changes are maintained after an upgrade
All of this information is available in the Documentation section on the left.
