Re: [Zope-dev] External Method Return value?

Yes, I agree. I have already read that. It did explain alot, but it did not explain how to return results from python that are then processed using a dtml-in statement. Thank you for taking the time to answer my many questions, Clayton. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Zope "-t" # of threads option
by Alex Schonfeld 25 Jan '00

25 Jan '00

Hi, Sorry if this has already been discussed. On the subject of threads for Zope2, ----------- -t n The number of threads to use, if ZODB3 is used. The default is %(NUMBER_OF_THREADS)s. ----------- Any suggestions for determining what a good number is? Or is the default pretty much always optimal? Thanks, Alex. 1010011010 0 Digital Garage 1 Alex Schonfeld 0 alex(a)garage.co.jp - pear 1 090-4429-2323 | http://www.garage.co.jp/ +-Personal Junk | alex(a)coolest.com | http://www.coolest.com

Re: [Zope-dev] Zope hanging on high loads

It is rather ironic that > Medusa+Cable modem is faster than cgi+T3! we *decreased* the number of threads. we also had a problem with zope trying to connect to oracle and freezing when reaching the maximum number of connection configured in oracle. now with less threads we have higher performance: no more pcgi-wrapper(s) hanging for minutes or until killed. today i also tried mod_fastcgi for apache. tomorrow i'll install it on one of the 4 production web servers and let you know. ciao, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE System Programmer fog(a)mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog(a)debian.org Don't dream it.

small typo
by Federico Di Gregorio 24 Jan '00

24 Jan '00

Hi, today i tried to use the apache mod_fastcgi to skip the cgi-wrapper. after fighting a little bit with apache i discovered that the configuration snippet in WEBSERVER.txt is wrong: FastCgiExternalServer /PATH/TO/apache/htdocs/zope \ -socket /tmp/zope.soc \ -pass-header Authorization the "-socket /tmp/zope.soc" makes you think that the module takes absolute paths but that's not the case. the path is always relative to FastCgiIpcDir (= /tmp/fcgi in last release.) i sugget to modify the example as follow: -------- # zope and apache should have rwx permission to the following # directory, to create (zope) and connect (apache) to the ipc socket FastCgiIpcDir /your/ipc/dir # note the relative path to the ipc socket in the following directive FastCgiExternalServer /PATH/TO/apache/htdocs/zope \ -socket zope.soc \ -pass-header Authorization ------- and also change "-F /tmp/zope.soc" to "-F /your/ipc/dir/zope.soc" about 20 lines above. note also that using /tmp as the socket directory is... mmm... bad if you have a daemon like tmpreaper running. finally, maybe someone is interested in how to use an url like http://localhost and have fastcgi call zope. this is how i did it: <VirtualHost localhost> DocumentRoot /var/www RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) /zope/$1 \ [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] FastCgiExternalServer /var/www/zope -socket Z2-fcgi.soc \ -pass-header Authorization -flush SetHandler fastcgi-script </VirtualHost> very usefull for production sites running multiple virtual hosts. ciao, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE System Programmer fog(a)mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog(a)debian.org A short story: I want you.

External Method Return value?
by Clayton Miller 24 Jan '00

24 Jan '00

I have found myself in the position of needing an external method to accomplish a task. However, I have not found enough information that (by example) shows me how to return something that will be processed by a dtml-in statement. I am replacing the old SQLMethod within the dtml-in with an external method. Therefore, the current code is looking for various SQL fields to exist in the returned result set. How do I do this? A Python example would be GREATLY appreciated! I am writing my first python as well. I learn best by example. Thanks so much, Clayton. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

python 1.6, ZPublisher
by Toby Dickenson 24 Jan '00

24 Jan '00

I understand that python 1.6 adds methods to string objects. Does this have implications for access control in ZPublisher? I guess that it will be possible to use something like http://localhost/object/private_string_attribute/uppercase to snoop into attributes that are not published if using python 1.5.x (Yes, I know python 1.6 isnt supported for Zope today. I'm mentioning it because it's an interesting issue) Toby Dickenson tdickenson(a)geminidataloggers.com

Re: [Zope-dev] submitting queies

Therefore the :method attribute works only for submit types. Is > this assumption correct? Anyone knows a fix and/or hack? The problem is (and this is visible if you make the form a GET rather than a POST) that browsers don't send back the name of an image when you click on an input type=image. Instead they send back name.x=n and name.y=m, where n and m are the x and y offsets in the image where the mouse was clicked. So in the above, you'll get add:method.x and add:method.y in the input. I guess you _could_ hack zope to look for foo:bar.x and foo:bar.y and if seen, also put foo:bar in the request, but then, what do you put in as the value (since image inputs don't send the value through). Input type=image is a poorly implemented hack, at least in the versions of browsers I've looked at. (And don't even get me started about the javascript support for input type=image.) What about, instead doing something like <a href="?add:method=1"><img src="images/add" border="0"></a> Anthony
