And if things go badly, you should see a 'broken product' called SquishDot in the Control_Panel/Products folder. Click on the broken Product, click on traceback, and cut and paste the traceback into an email and send it to the list where the Squishdot people can see it.

Much better solution. I suspect that this may be a non-issue - Alex, are you running 1.11.something by any chance? That release had the Last-Modified setting code, but it has since been removed (since it was basically there in an abortive attempt to handle If-Modified-Since) in CVS and the latest Z2 alphas...

Interesting - I'd be interested to see how much better it does with 1.10.3, since 1.10.2 had a pretty significant memory leak tied to DTML rendering...

How about  _the stuff_  ??? I've never tried it myself so this may be totally bogus. I just remember seeing mention of this in the DTML User's Guide.

zope 2.0.0.a2 & FreeBSD -- python coredumps
by thomas＠hentschel.net 23 Jun '99

23 Jun '99

Hi all, I just subscribed, so please be gentle ... :-) Im trying to get zope going w/ apache on a FreeBSD 2.2.8 system. I went thru the zope mailing archives and wasn't able to come up with something. Maybe someone could whack me with a clue stick... Whenever I try to invoke /cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage I get the "Temporarily Unavailable" response with a "(102) failure during connect" The HTML source say's "Interupted system call pcgi-wrapper version 2.0a5" pcgi.log says "pcgi-wrapper: Interrupted system call (102) Failure during connect" Along with that, python exits on a signal 11 and dumps core. Here is what I did : Installed python-1.5.2 from the FBSD port, made sure that the parser module is included, installed Zope (python w_pcgi.py) the zope/var dir is owned by "nobody" with 777 put the authorization stuff into httpd.conf as per webserver.txt /cgi-bin/pcgifile?info=Zope.cgi gives: Python 1.5.2 (#2, Jun 19 1999, 11:48:11) [GCC 2.7.2.1] Apache/1.3.3 (Unix) PHP/3.0.5 mod_ssl/2.0.14 SSLeay/0.9.0b PCGI info file: Zope.cgi PCGI wrapper: /usr/local/lib/Zope/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper error attempting: 'from cgi_module_publisher import publish_module' status: FAILURE Zope.cgi #!/usr/local/lib/Zope/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Main PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/Zope/lib/python/Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=/usr/local/lib/Zope/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=/usr/local/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/usr/local/lib/Zope/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/usr/local/lib/Zope/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/usr/local/lib/Zope/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/usr/local/lib/Zope Anyone got an idea what's happening ?? I'm obviously missing something.... just what ? Thanks for any help -Th

Looks like you've already done the hard part! All you should have to do is stop and restart Zope. Go to the control panel and you should see a "Shutdown" button that does exactly as it says. Depending on your setup Zope may restart automagically one the next HTTP request. This is the case from the Linux/Apache/Zope system I'm running quite happily from home. At work I'm running NT/ZServer/Zope with ZServer running in a command window. Here I have to manually restart ZServer because it exits out when Zope quits. If everything is set up okay you should now see Squishdot objects appearing in the add item pulldown on the manage screens. Make any sense? Good luck...

torture.pl for performance testing
by Karl Fast 23 Jun '99

23 Jun '99

Just catching up with the last weeks worth of messages and saw the discussion about zope performance, and thought I would point people to torture.pl. Lincoln Stein (the guy who wrote CGI.pm) has written a perl script for torture testing web servers. The July issue of Web Techniques has an article, written by Stein, about the script on page 67. Simple and useful. The code and the text of the article can be found online here: http://stein.cshl.org/~lstein/torture/ Here's the first few paragraphs of the article: This script has two functions. First, it can be used to test the speed and responsiveness of a Web server. Second, the script can be used to test the stability and reliability of a particular Web server. When used for performance testing, you can measure the speed and response time of your Web servers, CGI scripts, and other Web enhancements. Although torture.pl isn't rigorously normalized for cross-server comparisons the way the WebStone metric is, it's good for measuring changes on a single Web server. When used in torture-testing mode, torture.pl sends large amounts of random data to a server, trying to make it crash. If a server, CGI script, module, or template processor can't handle large amounts of random data, then it's not particularly well written and might even contain security holes. _______________________________________________________________ karl fast fast(a)lights.com

ZServer & Zope 2.0.0a2 problems.
