Error Message: Sorry Error Occurred - ??
by Richard Cramer 05 Feb '99

05 Feb '99

Upon connection to ZopeHTTPServer I am getting the subjet error message. From the docs I have read I am guessing it is related to the var permissions...but I have not got them right yet I guess. There is also a HTML message in the page that a frame capable browser was required, but it is (Netscape 4.5) Zope was bulilt from the 1.9 source tarball. No error messages. I have tried running ZopeHTTPServer at root with no avail as well. This was built on a FreeBSD v2.2.8 OS, and using the same browser I have successfullly stated Zope on Linux RedHat with the same browser. I have also made permissions the same on both systems, but no joy. This is proberly a very simple error I am overlooking, but it is eluding me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA, Dick

Are you perchance using UserDb for the acl_users folder? I just submitted a report to the guys at Digicool regarding this problem with UserDb a few days ago. Specifically that 'View' 'Access contents information' and 'Use Database Methods' are required to be available to Anonymous at the root folder in order for UserDb authentication to work. Haven't heard back from them. Kent

problems building on AIX
by Roman Milner 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

I tried to build Zope on AIX and gave up pretty quickly. All of the dynamic extensions fail - it looks like for the following reasons. It tries to use './ld_so_aix' as the linker - this is a script that comes with the python source kit but doesn't get installed and obviously doesn't exist in dot. I changed the makefile so it could find ld_so_aix but now it fails because in each dir with a dynamic extension it is looking for a file called ./python.exp - which is a some file needed to build dynamic libs on aix that is generated by running makexp_aix (another script shipped with the python source kit) on each .o file (which seems to pretty much just run 'nm' on the object files.) Is there a way I can have the build process make static extension and just create a new python - like Zpython or something? Anyway, I copied most of the extensions into the python source tree and rebuilt it - but the zope build process fails because it tries to build the extensions anyway. So, I just tried to run it - and I get Sorry, an error occurred.<p>  with the zope http zerver and: Sorry, the requested document does not exist. Traceback (innermost last): File /data/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 879, in publish_module File /data/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 407, in publish (Info: ) File /data/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 279, in __bobo_traverse__ (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) NotFound: (see above) with apache. Is there something I missed? Something the build process does other than making the extensions that I need to do? Thanks, ^Roman

Little problem with DTML
by chalaouxf＠synbio.tpgnet.net 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

Hi All, I spend a long day trying to play with DTML and SQL method. Thus, I decided to ask to experts :) My problem is to print the result of a an SQL method "call" only if a condition is realized. I readed many thing on documentation but even sqltest, sqlgroup, insert DTML in sql method, gave me not a solution. I admit also that these new notions are a bit new for me but more exemple should also help me. I have a properties(monthvalue : January, February, ....) that I want to test against a value of a column of the resulting sql method (view_star_mois). If the record contents a column with the sequence-item then I print the record. This is the only solution I found to order by month my records in a gadfly database :) ========================== Document template ==========================           =========================== SQL method : view_star_month =========================== select * from star Question 1 ========== This algorithm is not very efficient cause I have to call an sql method for each sequence-item. Is there an other solution? Question 2 ========== The previous DTML sequence creates an empty html file. Why, cause my records database contents these months? Question 3 ========== Internationalization is not yet there for the date in Zope. Do you think with Python 1.2 this should come? Help please, FR.

hard-coded pcgi
by Kevin Dangoor 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

Hi, Does anyone out there already have a pcgi-wrapper that is hardcoded to run directly instead of through a script like Zope.cgi? I want to do this so that I can safely run it setuid. If no one has such a beast, I'll muck about in the C code and see if I can patch it. (I haven't done anything in C since '96... the thought of going back is frightening :) Kevin -- Kevin Dangoor kid(a)ans.net / 734-214-7349

What about adding a download tab to Document?
by Paulo Eduardo Neves 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

Hi, I think it would be nice to have a download tab in the document objects. Today we have to cut'n paste the form contents to an editor and save it with the desired name. Probably the usual development way is to edit a doc in the file system and to upload it. When you want to change, just edit it and upload again. Not very good when you have to edit a document from multiple places, or to edit documents that where automatically generated. Here is a patch to do it: http://samba-choro.com.br/neves/python/zope/Document.py.patch It should be applied to Document.py file in /web/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/OFS dir. There's a kind of a hack in it to make the default file name in the browser download dialog to become "document_id.ztml". To do this a method is created with this name. If someone know a better way to do it, like a magic http header, please tell me. As you can see the default extension is .ztml (I liked it!). The mime type is text/ztml. If you want to change to dtml it is just a char in the code. regards, -- Paulo Eduardo Neves PUC-Rio de Janeiro Pager: Central: 292-4499 cod. 213 99 64 ou use a URL: http://www.learn.fplf.org.br/neves/mensagempager.html

Bizarre Authentication Problem.
by Christopher G. Petrilli 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

OK, I sent a copy of my database to support(a)zope.org, but... It seems that no matter what I do with security, that to get past the root folder of my site, you have to be authenticated... I know someone else complained about this one, and don't remember what the resolution is, and i cna't find it in the archives... Basically, I've tried overriding security for each folder, but nope, that doesn't work... Ideas? Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli | petrilli(a)amber.org
