Zope process working directory
by Toby Dickenson 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Ive recently noticed that Zope doesnt change its working directory when it starts up. This has been a minor inconvenience for me recently when I wanted to get a core dump from a long-running Zope, but its working directory was set for somewhere that it couldnt write. I know I could fix this in all of my start scripts, but I think it would be much nicer if Zope always changed its working directory to var on startup (except if the debug flag is set I suppose). This would be in keeping with the tradition for Unix daemons and Windows services. Any thoughts? Toby Dickenson tdickenson(a)geminidataloggers.com

sqlvar and longs
by Andre Schubert 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Hi all, I have a little question on <dtml-sqlvar ...>. My problem is, that i want to insert values into a table and the type of the values are integer8. I tried with <dtml-sqlvar foo type="long"> but it doesnt work. How can i use <dtml-sqlvar> with longs? Will this feature be added in further versions? Is there a product which patches this problem? If not i would write such a thing myself. Regards -- Andre Schubert EMail: Andre.Schubert(a)km3.de Tel: 03774 6625-78 km3 teledienst GmbH Fax: 03774 6625-79

Any other approach means a slowdown in the Zope code regardless of whether profiling is turned on or off... monkeypatching means you end up with zero slowdown when not profiling.

Squid Proxy VS LVS+Apache+ZEO
by Eric Roby 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

I apologize (in advance) if this is on the wrong list but some of the previous discussions regarding these topics have been done here. I have read much of the documentation on Squid, the zope.org cluster configuration, and many of the excellent How-To's out there. However, my particular case requires ssl for authentication to the ZMI. It appears that ssl is best accomplished with Squid, however we have to be able to provide many of the services that the zope.org cluster leverages with LVS. It appears that the Apache+mod_proxy+ZEO configuration provides much of the functionality that Squid+ZServer would provide, alone. I guess my biggest problem is determining whether it makes sense to use Squid in conjunction with ZEO (which we want to pursue) or re-build Apache with mod_ssl in the LVS+Apache+mod_proxy+ZEO setup?? If any one has been down this road I would greatly appreciate any insight that you might have. Thanks in advance... Eric

This would resolve the problems, yes. It's a nice approach to take, and it also allows the object to register a different method to be patched. > Think of this as "consentual" monkey-patching (hmm... may have to > change this metaphor soon!).

ZEO on Windows?
by David Ascher 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

I'm having some issues trying to use ZEO on Win2k w/ Apache and Quixote. Specifically: - if I happen to call client code before the server is running, I get a python process which is completely hung -- I can't even kill it from the process monitor w/ administrator privs. Every client request will result in a hung Python process. - if the server is already set up (as should normally be the case), sometimes the client request goes through, sometimes it doesn't. I'm not getting any tracebacks or info in the Apache logs. I could write up some simple Python test cases, but the documentation makes me wonder if ZEO works on windows at all (e.g. the unqualified reference to unix domain sockets =). so... Does ZEO work on Windows? Any gotchas? --david

Re: [Zope-dev] improved logging

Romain Slootmaekers <romain(a)zzict.com> writes: > > Handling the log output should be _completely_ separated from > > Zope. > what do you mean exactly by '_completely_ separated' > > do you mean asynchronous handling ? Completely separated means that it isn't Zope's job to care for rotating logs, filtering them and what else you could do to logs. There are lots of programs out there that are specialized in handling log data. We for example use a setup with the multilog program from Dan Bernsteins multilog package (see http://www.lightwerk.com/zope/logging) which separates the function from Zope. The motivation for separating log handling from Zope: - smaller code base (a little :) - don't reinvent the wheel - handling logs is done by other programs well enough - separation of functions improves security and stability So there must be (and are) ways to generate useful log output. But handling the generated output is really not the job of the Zope server itself. Regards, Frank

STX Bug ?
by Fabiano Weimar dos Santos 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, i have a possibly "problem" using unordered lists with structured text. See the exemple: titulo paragrafo noono onoonono ono oo noonononon o onononono ononono onononono onononon onononon ononononono onono. * Item 1. * Item 2. * Item 3. The STX processor of zope render a HTML code like this: <ul> <li>Item 1.</li> <li>Item 2.</li> <li>Item 3.</li> </ul> My question is: the "tags" are correctly generated by STX? IS IT A BUG? In my application, i have some problems with this output because i used CSS styles that makes the presentation of HTML very ugly. <ul> <li>Item 1.</li> <li>Item 2.</li> <li>Item 3.</li> </ul> If It is not a bug, how can i get a output like the output above?
