Thanks for the reply Maciej. What happens is that Zope egg timers for an eternity - around 3-4 minutes then doesn't actually return a success page. However if I then refresh the site I see that a PloneExFile has been added. No good for training :-) I will try out the deadlock debugger. I have a couple of other sites running on the instance using the same ZODB and they are able to add PloneExFiles ok.

<br>Don't know why it takes so long but you may install<br>DeadlockDebugger and try to track down<br>what happens with your Zope during adding this file.<br><br>--<br>Maciej Wisniowski<br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all">
