Hi Steve, If you want to run through apache, you need to apply a patch to mod_cgi.c to get apache to defer to Zope's WebDAV handling. The reason is that clients send an OPTIONS request to the server to ask if the server supports WebDAV. If you ask ZServer directly, it will answer yes, but if you ask through Apache, the request gets intercepted by some code in Apache's mod_cgi module, which prevents Zope (or any other back-end system that goes through the cgi machinery) from responding to the request. I've reported this to the Apache group, but they seem to think that this is not a bug and don't plan to change it. :( I've attached a patch that you can apply to mod_cgi.c that should allow OPTIONS requests to pass through to Zope.

Probelms with POST

Hi *, we are having a little problem with a form that let you upload to a server mp3 files using zope. The form uses a standard INPUT with TYPE file and is multipart-formdata encoded. After about a minute apache gives up with the error: The proxy server received an invalid response from the upstream server. Note that apache communicates with zope via mod_proxy. Does anybody knows if zope has limitations on post data size? thanx, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE System Programmer fog(a)mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog(a)debian.org 99.99999999999999999999% still isn't 100% but sometimes suffice. -- Me

Return anything but strings from a method??
by Thomas Weholt 13 May '00

13 May '00

Hi, I got a method in a product that should be able to return a list, a tuple or a dictionary but I cannot seem to use them in the same way as in plain python. Is there anything I should be aware of? I got a disk-based dictionary ( Berkley DB ) in which I`ve stored several customized classes? If I return a list of objects like this, how could I access this in DTML-code? If somebody could give me an example on how you can return a little more than just a string from a method to a dtml-document/method I`d be grateful. At the moment nothing but plain strings seem to work. Thomas

Product Distributions
by Chris Withers 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hi, I've just finished putting together a ZWiki Web product and thought I'd try and use the 'Create a Distribution Archive' form on the 'Distribution' tab to get a nice .tar.gz It works, but when I install the distribution and restart Zope, the product doesn't appear in the available objects drop-down list. Is this a bug or has the 'Distribution' tag been deprecated? cheers, Chris

Setting Zope up under another Web server
by Titus Brown 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hi, folks. How difficult would it be to install Zope under another Web server, e.g. AOLserver? Am I correct in believing that the "persistent CGI" interface is all one needs to have working? We've been working on a project to add a Python language module into AOLserver, and I quite like some aspects of Zope. It strikes me that with an internally threaded Web server like AOLserver, and a Python implementation that correctly interacts with the threads, it should be possible to add Zope in quite easily. But I don't want to delve into the internals of Zope without having some wiser heads say yeah. Thanks, --titus P.S. If you want to question the use of AOLserver, then please let's conduct that discussion off-list... thanks. -- Titus Brown, titus(a)caltech.edu

I'm using ZODB outside Zope and was wondering if anyone has a simple example of the use of version ie commitVersion, modifyInVersion and undo. Thanks Nigel --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Before you buy.

Question about ZEO
by Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve 12 May '00

12 May '00

We are currently evaluating which database to use in a large scientific, Python-based application. At the moment the best candidate seems to be ZODB. However, we would like to use socket-based communication between a database server and a moderate number of clients (typically 2-100) in a heterogeneous network. E.g.: Machine 0: ZODB server. Machine 1: Long-running numerical application, gets input parameters from ZODB server, sends results back. Machine 2: Client running a GUI to display (intermediate) results obtained from ZODB server. Also used to send new input parameters to ZODB server. I.e., where we are now using db = DB(FileStorage('junk.fs')) root = db.open().root() root['somekey'] = myobject1 get_transaction().commit() we would like to do something like db = DB(ClientStorage('hostname', port_number)) and the other code unchanged. Will ZEO do this for us? Is ZSS the server we want, and will there be a ClientStorage class which can be plugged in instead of FileStorage?

Re: [Zope-dev] Advocating the splitting of Zope in subpackages

I've set up a minimal Wiki. I don't really know how wikis & security work on zope.org, but I'm assuming every member has edit privileges? If not somebody tell me how to fix that. http://www.zope.org/Members/aez/Packaging/FrontPage ttfn!
