auth problems
by Milos Prudek 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

I can't go to management screen with superuser passwd. I'm using correct name and passwd (as specified in access file), but Zope says "Unauthorized. You are not authorized to access this resource." I'm using apache. No useful info in Apache's log's, pcgi.log and zope.log. Zope.cgi has been copied to apache cgi-bin dir. Apache has correct rewrite rule configuration as per WEBSERVER.txt. This is Zope 2.0.1 rpm. I also tried Zope 2.1.1 sources with same result. Please help me... -- Milos Prudek

>From: Jim Washington <jwashin(a)vt.edu> > >something like: <SELECT MULTIPLE ... name=myselect:list > Thanks. That worked. Is the colon in myselect:list part of Standard HTML, or is it part of Zope? That is, is it really part of the features of <SELECT MULTIPLE...>, or is the colon merely a device for Zope so it would always put the selected choices into a list? regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

by - 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

streamed output and internet explorer
by Mailing List Recepient 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

I'm trying to do streamed output as opposed to returning a string for my published method, e.g.: def somemethod(self, RESPONSE=None): """blahblah""" RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html') RESPONSE.write('<HTML><BODY>hello</BODY></HTML>') return '' This works fine under netscape, however, under internet explorer v5 (and i think v4), it returns blank. I would love to say "internet explorer sucks...use netscape", but that's not a very constructive attitude. I assumed the problem was a missing content-length header, so i inserted a RESPONSE.setHeader with the length of the body. However, the HTTPResponse object seems to remove this header, so it never gets transmitted to the browser. So, my question is, "Is ZPublisher's streamed output supported with Internet Explorer browsers?" btw, i'm only using the bare bones zope modules, ie ZPublisher.

Database connections timing out?
by Graham Chiu 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

I am finding that after starting Zope, and making the ODBC connection to local Interbase, I can then access Zope and find that the ODBC connection has closed down. I am not yet certain how long this takes to happen. I then get an error complaining about the lack of a database connection. I never had this problem with versions prior to 2.0. I am using Win32, and the latest versions of Zope, and the DA for ODBC. I guess not many of you are using Interbase, but you might yet. Borland is reported to be considering open sourcing the product. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin

How to test whether something is a string?
by Hung Jung Lu 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

Hi, In DTML, is there anyway of testing whether something is a string? (This is because I am using the <SELECT MULTIPLE...> form in submitting a HTML form. For single choice, the object submitted is a string, for mulitple choices, the object submitted is a list of strings. It would be helpful if I could test the type of the submitted object.) regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

G'day, Zope Weekly News is a digest of some of the useful and interesting events which have occurred on the various Zope mailing lists and the Zope.org site. It is published each Wednesday evening. Any opinions contained in the Zope Weekly News are those of the chronicler exclusively. Announcements * Amos Lattier <amos(a)digicool.com> put out a call for FastCGI problems. Amos is revisiting FastCGI support, so the more you complain the better it will be. http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-December/016202.html * Paul Everitt <paul(a)digicool.com> has alerted everyone to the latest issue of Linux Magazine, which contains an article "Gold Rush: Venture Capitalists Discover Linux". The article talks about Digital Creations and Hadar Pedhazur at length. http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-December/016197.html Updates * "htrd" posted an update to his NTUserFolder product. It authenticates Zope users from NT user accounts. It only runs on Windows NT. The latest release is 1.3. http://yyy.zope.org/Members/htrd/NTUserFolder * "phd" has updated mod_pcgi2 several times this week. mod_pcgi2 moves PGCI's calling code into Apache's process to eliminate the so-called "fork tax". This makes requests more responsive. The latest version is 0.1.2. http://yyy.zope.org/Members/phd/mod_pcgi2 Zope.org items * "z113" contributed a How-To on adding your own DTML tags to the language. http://yyy.zope.org/Members/z113/1 Notable Discussions * Art Hampton <arth(a)pacsg.css.mot.com> started a discussion presently underway about the relative merits of mod_pcgi2, vanilla PCGI and FastCGI. http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-December/016198.html * Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> has made and released some modifications to ZCatalog.

ZDiscussions & SiteAccess
by tonyr＠ep.newtimes.com 29 Dec '99

29 Dec '99

Has anyone else been attempting to use ZDiscussions in conjunction with SiteAccess? Here is the problem I am having: Problem Description: -------------------- When I add discussion item from Virtual Hosted URLs the discussion item adds to discussion but ZDiscussions.children() method returns None for those items. This is not the case for items added via non VirtualHosted URLs, same discussion just different access path. When I add ZDiscussion Items via VirtualHost the items appear to be there in the /manage screens but yet the children function shows None for each of these thus the ZDiscussion index_html is all messed up. Upon further investigation the culprit appears to be the ablolute_url function in conjunction with SiteAccess and ZCatalog. The entries in ZCatalog show: /feedback/1999-12-16/film.html for the "broken" entries done via VirtualHost /city/feedback/1999-12-16/film.html for the functional entries Upon still fruther investigation this problems also accures in the ZCache product when used under SiteAccess. Does anyone have any ideas? I really am trying to make this work. -- ------------------------------- tonyr(a)ep.newtimes.com Director of Web Technology Newtimes Inc. -------------------------------
