Zope on WinCE Professional (ver 2.00)
by Tim Fraser 03 Apr '99

03 Apr '99

I'm considering purchasing a device using the newest WinCE op sys. to run and develop Zope applications. Is anyone using such a device successfully? I seem to recall a problem when no network adaptor is attached. Does this problem resolve itself if a PCMCIA card is inserted, but still not attached to a network? ie used in a mobile situation.

John, It certainly doesn't sound braindead to me. I for one would like to see what this product can do - have you thought about contributing it to http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib ? cheers, tone

ZServer & CGI scripts
by Daren Sefcik 03 Apr '99

Can ZServer run normal cgi scripts?? My thought is to run ZServer and run PHP3 scripts via a php3 compiled cgi. Anybody have thoughts on this?? TIA, Daren

No access file found...
by Chris Larson 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

OK. After finally getting my ISP to migrate me to a server with a current Python, I once again leap into the fray. I've placed my 'var/' into '/tmp/', to get around NFS, and updated my instance home to /tmp. Now I have a shiny new problem to play with. Zope can't see 'access'. Is the path to access assumed from INSTANCE HOME, or is there some place I can specify it? (I'd kinda rather avoid putting it in /tmp, ya know?). And before ya ask, yes there _is_ an access file in /---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/, and it does contain a "superuser:" style entry. I've included the traceback, and my Zope.cgi below. Any help would be much appreciated. Chris PS Any comments on using '/tmp' to contain 'var/' as an NFS bypass? '/tmp' is not mounted via NFS. The traceback ----------- Sorry, a SERIOUS APPLICATION ERROR occurred.<p>  My 'Zope.cgi' ----------- #!/---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Main PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=/---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.p y PCGI_EXE=/usr/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/tmp/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/tmp/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/tmp/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/tmp

cgi_module_publish cookie prsing errors?
by tsarna＠endicor.com 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

All of my "real" sites are still running under Principia. Recently a number users of these sites have had their machines upgraded. Those now using the latest versions of IE and Netscape are unable to access the sites now unless they turn off cookies, or they get an error in cgi_module_publish to do with parsing cookies. (I'm still trying to get someone to send me the actual error text). Anyone out there using Principia still? Have you seen this? Anyone using Zope seen this?

MIMETools
by Michel Pelletier 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

Greetings, I am looking for people to test the new MIMETools Component. MIMETools add the  tag to DTML. It does not supply any objects that can be added to Zope. It is important to remember that this is alpha software and may not work as show here, or at all. YMMV (Your MIME may vary). The #mime tag is a container tag that formats it's contents into a valid MIME container. A quick example usage is:  This is the first part.  This is the second.  This will rendered to the following: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531" --216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This is the first part. --216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 VGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgc2Vjb25kLgo= --216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531-- The tag is documented in the MIMETools README.txt file. The #mime tag is particulary handy in conjunction with the #sendmail tag, and an example is given in the README.txt. The MIMETools component can be downloaded from: http://www.zope.org/Download/Prereleases/MIMETools/ Regards, -Michel
