Zope/Apache Authentication problem again!
by hcsccs＠prudential.com.my 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Hi all. Refering to Chuck Mead's Zope/Apache HOW-TO email, I found it very useful. Thanks for taking the effort and I'm sure it will not be wasted. I have Red Hat 5.2 with Apache 1.3.6. Anyway, I have a few problems following the instructions. - I can't execute htpasswd command. Why so?? - Can I not use srm.conf? Can I just put the code <Location> ... </Location> into httpd.conf? - Can I put the Rewrit Can you please send the solution to my email as well? Thanks in advance.

Very well done. <snip> I second that - I like this documentation technique. Nothing else could have explained the portal toolkit so clearly in 2 minutes. I think more of these could help newcomers more quickly understand what zope does. Down the road, if you want to add a narration soundtrack, check out the realplayer G2 stuff. I just made a slideshow with voice and music tracks without much hassle at all. -simon

Zope never writes incomplete records to the database, but 'written to file' does not imply 'written to disk' as just about every OS there is buffers reads and writes in memory (Linux and other unicies are especially agressive about buffering). -Michel > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, > zope-dev(a)zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

Recovering zope data
by Corey Ralph 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

i have just had a power outage and lost a fair amount of work on a test server. As it isn't a production server, it had no UPS. Zope won't load, it gives me: Traceback (innermost last): File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 325, in publish File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 616, in get_module_info File lib/python/Main.py, line 103, in ? File lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 319, in open_bobobase File lib/python/BoboPOS/PickleDictionary.py, line 159, in __init__ File lib/python/BoboPOS/SimpleDB.py, line 221, in __init__ File lib/python/BoboPOS/SimpleDB.py, line 287, in open File lib/python/BoboPOS/SimpleDB.py, line 1365, in read_index (Info: (1156286, 237, 0, 928285439.308, 723, 646)) ImportError: ('DatabaseError', 'Corrupted data record at 1156286') Has anyone had any experience with this kind of thing? Is there any chance I can fix it?

Zope 2.0.0a1 on DHCP?
by Michael Bernstein 03 Jun '99

03 Jun '99

I have successfully installed and compiled Zope 2.0.0a1 on my home machine, but cannot seem to get it to start. I believe that the reason is that it's connection to the net is a cable-modem, and it's using DHCP. Has anyone else encountered this? I've succesfully installed Zope 2.0 on another machine with a static IP address at work. BTW, I am not so concerned about making this installation externally accessible (though it would be nice), but mainly want to do development at home as well. Setup: Redhat 5.2 Python 1.5.2 (from RPM with threads) Zope 2.0.0a1 Thank you for your attention, Michael Bernstein

adding properties to Image
by Kevin Lewandowski 03 Jun '99

03 Jun '99

I wanted to add a "border=0" to an image so I added this via the properties of the image class. But when I print/publish the image, the border property does not show up... Just the width, height, and alt text (which are added by default). Am I doing this wrong or is there another way to do it? thanks Kevin

rewrite rules
by Daniel M. Drucker 03 Jun '99

03 Jun '99

I'm very confused. If I attempt to move an apache rewrite rule from where it's referenced in 'startzap' (in the -c ) into conf/zap.conf, everything breaks. (Your browser sent a request that the server couldn't understand.) All I want to do is this: http://myserver/ is the root of zope. http://myserver/whatever/blah is processed by zope. EVERYTHING is processed by zope -- except for one thing: http://myserver/dumbuser/ which goes to /home/dumbuser/public_html/ This works fine when I have this: -c "RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) $dot/../Zope.cgi\$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]" in my startzap, and this: RewriteRule ^/dumbuser/(.*) /home/dumbuser/public_html/$1 in my zap.conf. However, I don't want to have to use http://myserver/Zope ... so I do this: -c "RewriteRule ^(.*) $dot/../Zope.cgi [etc etc etc] And then the zap.conf rewriterule stops working. Clues?

The biggest reason is actually that we believe entirely in seperating out logic from presentation, which PHP3/etc do not. THe DTML tags are MARKUP tags for formatting (a'la a reporting language) and should not be used for any more logic than you have to. This should be moved either to a DTML Method, an External Method, or eventually ZClasses/etc. More than a few lines gets very ugly very fast. Chris

You're using the src release of 1.10.2, I see. That is why there is no install script, because things are different with a source release. First, a binary release comes with, surprise surprise, binaries of the various Zope python extensions, but it also comes with a binary of pcgi and a binary of python all to itself. The only preperation necesary is to run 'install'. The source release comes only with python and C code. You must use your own python and compile your own pcgi. You do this by running one of two files that compile everything: 'wo_pcgi.py' will set you up to use ZopeHTTPServer or ZServer, and 'w_pcgi.py' will make you a Zope.cgi file for pcgi to use (and thus apache). So you were right in the first place, there should be something in the docs that say to use Zap with a source release you must run 'w_pcgi.py' first to create a Zope.cgi file. -Michel > > I don't see any install script... > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, > zope-dev(a)zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >
