I believe, possibly on the old site, that there is a Zope produce that lets you plug bobo apps directly into the Zope space with no modification. http://www.zope.org:8080/Download/Contrib/ExternalObjects.tar.gz I think this is it.

Running ZServer on Port 80 as root Permission Denied
by Jason Spisak 23 Sep '99

23 Sep '99

Zopists, I am trying to run ZServer on port 80 so that www.mydomain.com come right out of Zope. I read the docs on z2.py and startingthe http server, ftp server and monitor server look fine. But when it gets to the Z2.pid file I get a permission denied even with a chmod 777 on the entire Zope top directory. I've tried installing as root, as well an unprivliaged user and I get this same error when running z2.py -w 80 in line 494: IOError [Errno 13] Permission Denied '/home/Zope/var/Z2.pid' Help? -- Jason Spisak webmaster(a)hiretechs.com

hi, i was wondering if someone has had this problem as well: i'm trying to create an sql method with a variable argument list i.e. i don't know what arguments need to be passed because i'll be calling this sql method from a dynamically created html form. i was trying to simply pass "REQUEST" as a single argument to this sql method and reference my variables with  or something but that did not work. is there a way to accomplish this? cheers thilo -- mezger(a)innominate.de innominate AG networking people fon: +49.30.308806-11 fax: -77 web: http://innominate.de pgp: /pgp/tm

"upgrading" from ZPublisher to full Zope and need enlightenment
by Michael Olivier 23 Sep '99

23 Sep '99

We've been using ZPublisher and PCGI since the Bobo days for development, and I find myself playing with the zope.org site and finally understanding more clearly what else Zope has to offer. The question now is: what is the path for us to start using Zope beyond ZPublisher. We have a single entry point for our app, which is PCGI-based. Many of the functions inside classes use DTML substitution, though we're doing it from the python side. It's not clear to me how this fits with the web-managed Zope side of things. Is there a doc describing this conversion/upgrade, or are there people who can explain this to me? Maybe someone who's already been through this? Kudos for the greatly improved documentation on the Zope web site! Between the tips, HOWTO's, and being able to play w/it myself in an environment with some pre-existing content, it really helped things to gel. thanks, --Michael

Changing storage manager
by mvalente＠esoterica.pt 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Hi there: In the ZODB Howto: "A Storage Manager is the database back end of Zope. The default storage manager for Zope is a ZODB3 database file object that can be found in the top level var directory of Zope (var/Data.fs). There are other storage managers for Zope, in various stages of development: o The Relational Storage Manager stores all Zope transactions in a relational database. This is still experimental." I've looked all over but I was unable to find the way to change the storage manager from the Data.fs file to a relational DB (mySQL, Sybase, etc ) or indeed to any other kind (like the Temp storage manager also mentioned in the ZODB Howto). Can anyone give me some insights or pointers on how to do this ? C U! -- Mario Valente

minor bug in Zope content-type.
by Terje Malmedal 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

When I send a HEAD command to a Zope server it responds with a different Content-Type than when I give it a GET command, www.zope.org has the same problem: [root@cornavin /root]# telnet www.zope.org 80 Trying 209.67.167.110... Connected to zope.org. Escape character is '^]'. HEAD / HTTP1.1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 09:14:46 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.4 (Unix) Connection: close Ms-Author-Via: DAV X-Powered-By: Zope (www.zope.org) Python (www.python.org) Content-Length: 5359 Last-Modified: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 19:51:53 GMT Content-Type: application/octet-stream the GET command gives me text/html which is correct. I used to get application/octet-stream on GET commands as well when I had a <!DOCTYPE > thingy in the beginning of the document, but it seems to have been fixed when I upgraded to version 2.0.1 -- - Terje tm(a)funcom.com
