testSetupServers() in Zope-2_7-branch?
by Tim Peters 03 Oct '03

====================================================================== ERROR: testSetupServers (Zope.Startup.tests.testStarter.ZopeStarterTestCase) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\Zope\Startup\tests\testStarter.py", line 194, in testSetupServers self.assertRaises(ZConfig.ConfigurationError, starter.setupServers) File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\unittest.py", line 289, in failUnlessRaises callableObj(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\Zope\Startup\__init__.py", line 187,in setupServers servers.append(server.create()) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\ZServer\datatypes.py", line 93, in cr eate logger_object=access_logger) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\ZServer\FTPServer.py", line 600, in __init__ ftp_server.__init__(self, None, *args, **kw) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\ZServer\medusa\ftp_server.py", line 727, in __init__ self.bind ((self.ip, self.port)) File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\asyncore.py", line 300, in bind return self.socket.bind(addr) File "<string>", line 1, in bind TypeError: an integer is required That was on Windows & Python 2.3.2, but I don't know whether it matters. The second half of testSetupServers() appears to be setting up an error case, but it's not dying in the way the test expects. Instead self.ip == '18092 # conflict' and self.port == None and socket.bind has no idea what to make of that. It raises TypeError. The test is expecting ZConfig.ConfigurationError. I figure someone can figure this out faster than I can -- don't be shy <wink>.

ZConfig changes
by Fred L. Drake, Jr. 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

Phillip Eby and I both checked new functionality into ZConfig today; the documentation has been updated. If these changes are still looking good in a week or two, I'll plan on releasing it as "ZConfig 2.0". Both sets of changes revolve around schema extension, but they support different things. Phillip's changes allow one schema to be derived from one or more other schema. My changes allow configuration files to load additional schema components. Please try these changes and see how they work for you. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fred at zope.com> PythonLabs at Zope Corporation

Javascript variables Form element values and zope
by GBPark＠ed.ac.uk 03 Oct '03

Hallo All, I have this little form and I would like to know how to persuade dtml or python to access the javascript variables in the set_p function and the element values in the form "LOG". I'll be thankful for any assistance. <html><head> <script language="JAVASCRIPT"> function set_p(a,b) { // // call a zsql script mylookup which returns a single value // document.p.value=<dtml-call expr="mylookup(a,b)"> // //alternatively //document.p.value=<dtml-call expr="mylookup(document.LOG.m.value,document.LOG.n.value)"> // } </script> </head><body> <form name="LOG"> <table> <tr> <td><input type=text name="m" value=""></td> <td><input type=text name="n" value=""></td> <td><input type=text name="p" value=""></td> <td><input type=button value="Update P" onclick=set_p(m.value,c.value)></td></tr></table> </form></body></html> Gavin

current best of breed ZEO for Zope 2.6.2 in production?
by Leonardo Rochael Almeida 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

Hi, I'm with a client in the process of setting up a production environment with ZEO. Which of the ZEOs should I use? * Old (t)rusty ZEO 1.0? * ZEO 2.0? * any one of the ZEO releases at http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO ? * a ZEO ripped off of a ZODB release? Which one? (maybe even this last RC?) * In this case, should I make the ZEO server out of this ZODB release or should I just combine the ZEO server part into Zope and serve ZEO out of that? * If use a standalone ZODB release as ZEOServer, can/should I run it on Python2.2 While using Python2.1 ZEOClients? (I'm not running Zope 2.6.2 on Python 2.2) Cheers, Leo

Running the unit tests on 2.6.2?
by Paul Winkler 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Zope-2.6.2-src doesn't come with a script to run all the unit tests. Looking at cvs.zope.org, I found test.py, but it's only for 2.7 - it imports logging.config which doesn't exist in 2.6.2. What do I do to run all the unit tests for zope 2.6.2? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's BRAINDEAD SINFUL PROFESSOR! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)

Upload all files at once
by Sumana Hegde 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hi: I am new for this zope and wondering if anybody knows how to upload all the files from a folder (or whole folder)! The reason I am doing this is I have a PowerPoint presentation to go with the link. When I covert it into webpage format, all the associated files stored in the folder which I believe I need to store them too. Uploading those files one by one is not the solution I should be looking at, right! So, I appreciate any help to resolve this problem. Thanks. -Sumana

Connection policies.
by Chris McDonough 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Yesterday I made a Zope 2 branch named chrism-zserver-connection-policies-branch. The benefits that result from the changes are that you can "reserve" a thread pool for a particular set of ZServer servers, and that you can specify alternate ZODB "connection policies" on a per-server basis. This will allow sites which are having resource exhaustion problems (e.g. running out of threads, running out of database connections) to continue to be accessible via servers running on "special" ports for debugging and maintenance purposes. I'd like to merge this into the trunk at some point, but I'd like some feedback first. -- Chris McDonough <chrism(a)zope.com> Zope Corporation
