Not quite non-US only, I had the same problem and I'm the Chicago-land area. I think part of the problem (if not all of it) is that Zope recognizes timezones as named in Unixen-land (hmm, sure am in a -land mood this morning), and has a little "difficulty" when it comes to recognizing what Windows considers to be proper timezone names (those guys never did figure out how to place nice with others). You can fix it locally by going in and editing DateTime.py, though of course you will have to reapply your changes the next time you upgrade. You just need to figure out what your system is calling the timezone you are in and adding an appropriate entry to the _zmap dictionary. Something like: 'Central Time':'GMT-6' Which, BTW, is what I had to do to get things working for my system.

RE: [Zope] upgrade procedure

thanks for the helpful hints, i now have b1 running on my laptop (which will be used to present my project to the professor). but.... one little weird thing... i transferred the Data.fs from my a3-install and everything works fine, until i am using the only locally created role i have to access ZSQL-methods. all of a sudden this user is no longer authorized. the user is basically a replica of an anonymous user with permissions to view, access contents information, and use database methods. this is to cordon off one website area to authorized users only. here is the traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 256, in publish_module File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 161, in publish File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 154, in mapply (Object: kdsearch_DTML) File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 98, in call_object (Object: kdsearch_DTML) File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 150, in __call__ (Object: kdsearch_DTML) File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 145, in __call__ (Object: kdsearch_DTML) File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: kdsearch_DTML) File /usr/src/Zope-2.0.0b1-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 601, in renderwb (Object: kdsearch_SQL) Unauthorized: (see above) it seems to be happening when the ZSQL method is being called. funny enough, the same method is called by anonymous unauthenticated users at another location in the website. and: if i answer the user/password screen with my manager name/password it works. the same thing with the very same settings still works fine on the main install on my server, which is still a3. anyone have any idea? did b1 introduce some subtle permissions changes that i don't know about???

I would say the best way is to install the new Zope in a new directory, then copy the Data.fs over... this has all the objects in it. If you have added products, I'd readd them (I always keep the tar.gz files around for just such an occasion). This way you have the old version if something should go wrong.

permissions on /var

Hello, I just joined this list and I'm also in the process of setting up zope on my machine. Something immediately concerned me and thats mostly why I'm here. giving a web server write permissions to /var doesn't seem wise, am I wrong to think that? Thanks

Jay, Did you submit this patch to the Collector, or just to the list? I don't see it in the Collector anywhere, but if you'll copy it to me via email I can put it in there to make sure it gets attention. Thanks!

Did you set your system up to be able to boot back to the stock 2.0.36 kernel that comes with RH52? I would try that first (at worst you can save your new kernel, install the RH52 kernel RPMs, rerun lilo and reboot, but *READ* the docs first before doing this! I'm sure if you've re compiled your own kernel your pretty aware, but you never know). It's pretty trivial to have your machine set up to boot any number of kernels (you can add a lilo entry for each one and just set up a default). Boot back to 2.0.36, and see if the problem persists. If not, you probably need to compile a new glibc against the new kernel, and then recomple Python, Postgress, Zope, and the DA. Or switch back to 2.0.36. -Michel > Python 1.5.2 from Oliver Andrich's site. > Postgres is version 6.4.2-5. > ZPyGreSQLDA version is 0.3. > Zope 2.0.0b1 and Zope 1.10.3 > > I also have python-PyGreSQL-2.3.2.rpm installed.
