I'll take a look at that again. I looked originally and had some trouble re Zope runs as user nobody and access is owned by root. And I -think- when I tried to make access owned by nobody, other things broke. Maybe I'll try user nobody, group root or vice versa. I do see your point though. >When ZServer is installed as the publishing service, the >/var/zope/zserver_wo_pcgi.sh file is commented with the following: <snip> >I am looking at Zope from a performance issue. Do I installed both >ZServer and PCGI RPMs to get this functionality, or which one? I >couldn't find any .[p]cgi file when I installed ZServer, although I >haven't check all the directories yet. Zope v2.0.x -always- runs the ZServer portion, which is based on Medusa, a Python extension module. ZServer is a non-blocking protocol server that listens on HTTP, FTP, PCGI, Python Monitor and File I/O ports/events and then invokes the correct portions of Zope to handle requests. So when you install the Zope-pcgi RPM, you get ZServer with a configuration file set to listen to the PCGI Unix pipe, and if you install the Zope-zserver RPM, you get a configuration file to listen to the HTTP TCP/IP port. But you can alter that config file (/var/zope/zserver.sh) to listen to any mix of ports/event. >If I come through the PCGI interface, how do I tell it to use >ZServer for increased performance? Or is this automatic if ZServer >is running? It automatically uses ZServer and if you should enable both the HTTP port and the PCGI pipe, then you will be able to access your site via both mechanisms, with the HTTP port being the faster method, and the PCGI pipe coming from Apache, which has already read the user's HTTP request and spawned a CGI process to handle it (/usr/bin/pcgi-wrapper), with that process then writing the request and env vars into the Unix pipe which ZServer then reads from and handles the request. It's -that- extra overhead that you eliminate by going direct to ZServer via the HTTP port, but in trade, you give up (a) the ability to serve static files from your filesystem, (b) Apache's logging facility of hits and such, and (c) any ability to run the SSL secure socket protocol for e-commerce. I hope this makes sense... <grin> -Jeff Rush >Thanx in advance ... >-- Bryan "TheBS" Smith

How to Build a List ?
by Kulpinski, Dejan 29 Oct '99

29 Oct '99

Hello, Does anybody know how to build a list using set (or any other) command ? I would like to read stuff from database and store it in a list using just Zope and without building long string and then parsing it using split command... Thanx Dejan Kulpinski Sierra Systems Consultants Inc.

I didn't know that. That's a really good thing to be aware of. This means that if you use manage_editProperties with a form that does not include one of your boolean variables, then your boolean will be switched to off. (Since the only way to tell that a checkbox is off is because the variable is not included in the request.) Kevin

To change the properties on a ZClass instance, you need to call manage_editProperties or manage_changeProperties *on the specific propertysheet* that you are looking to change. The difference between manage_editProperties and manage_changeProperties is that manage_editProperties will change any property that it can find a value for in REQUEST. manage_changeProperties can work like this, too. Or you can specify specific properties to change <dtml-call "propertysheets.MyPropSheet.manage_changeProperties({'title' : 'foo'})"> (sets the "title" property on MyPropSheet of this ZClass instance to "foo".)

We'll The old site (http://www.zope.org:8080, which I presume is on the same machine) runs just fine. Therefore I think the reasoning that the blame lies on the load on the machine is fallacious. I think there's something more going on.
