Installation bug?
by Svante Kleist 21 Aug '99

21 Aug '99

Dear Zopers (Zops? Zopians?), This is my first try with Zope. Building on RH Linux 6.0 ( python w_pcgi.py ) went fine, however... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- [root@nyx Zope-2.0.0b5-src]# ./start ------ 1999-08-20T11:42:05 PROBLEM(100) ZServer Computing default hostname ------ 1999-08-20T11:42:05 INFO(0) ZServer Medusa (V1.10) started at Fri Aug 20 13:42:05 1999 Hostname: nyx.nemesis.se Port:8080 ------ 1999-08-20T11:42:05 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Fri Aug 20 13:42:05 1999 Authorizer:None Hostname: nyx.nemesis.se Port: 8021 ------ 1999-08-20T11:42:05 INFO(0) ZServer Monitor Server (V1.5) started on port 8099 Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/z2.py", line 494, in ? pf = open(PID_FILE, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/Z2.pid' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- This was obviously because 'nobody' could write in '/usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/'. 'chmod go+w /usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/' solved that. Is this an installation bug? Should I report it somewhere?

Re: [Zope] Error parsing pcgi info file
by jason＠brahms.siteprotect.com 21 Aug '99

I'm also getting a message from PCGI that it had an "Error parsing pcgi info file pcgi-wrapper-version 2.0a5" This is with 2.0.0b5. The odd thing is that if I use the following: http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi things work just fine - I get the Zope welcome screen. But, if I try to do the same thing with a secure server: https://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi the resource is "temporarily unavailable". I know that the secure server works, because the same thing worked with 2.0.0a4. Am I overlooking something that has changed from a4 to b5? Any ideas what would cause the secure version to fail? Thanks, -jason ------------------- Jason Abate jason(a)hostway.com Hostway Corporation

Re: [Zope] './start' fails

Thanks for the tip Stephan, I have done as you suggested, assuming that 'var/serve.pid' is the file in question. I have also done 'chmod o+w var/serve.pid'. However, this doesn't help. I notice a file 'var/Data.bbb.trans' containing 'SDBMV@@'. Could that be some database lock file? / Svante -- Stephan Richter <SRichter(a)ixl.com> wrote: : > Any suggestions? : I had the same problem before.

"?queyry", "file.html?query", etc. since the search engine interprets such a url as a call to a cgi program. For a general and powerful analysis of webpublishing in general read Philip Greenspun's on-line book on webpublishing: http://www.greenspun.com. He talks a little bit about search engines as well, can't remember in what chapter though. Roché

Data Containers
by Stephan Richter 21 Aug '99

21 Aug '99

hello guys, after reading the Z Class Tutorial today I came to the following conclusion: There are actually three major data containers for Zope: XML Documents, Databases and ZClasses. XML Documents: ============== Advantages: * very common format * many, many application understand it * open standards are defined and will be soon widely implemented (XML, CSS, XSL, DOM) * integrates nicely into zope by creating a tree * Can be used with catalog (????) Disdvantages: * still a little slow for large data pieces * HTML output a little complex (a lot of render methods) Usage: Documentation, White Papers, News, Polls, Threaded Discussions Databases: ========= Advantages: * usually very fast data access * can contain large amounts of data * fast search by indexing Disadvantages: * needs Adapter for every different type of DB * depends strongly on Python's DB modules * does not integrate well into Zope (not ZCatalog ...) Usage: * member records, financing, data warehousing ZClasses: ======== Advantages: * natural to Zope * easily indexed through ZCatalog * great for web specific data Diadvantages: * not appropriate for large amounts of data (????) Usage: News, Threaded Discussions, Polls, Document Collectors As you can see some Usage items appear on several containers. I would like the community to comment on my points and correct them where necessary. I will post the results as usual on my Zope Portal site at http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/srichter thanks everyone in advance! regards, stephan -- Stephan Richter iXL - Software Designer and Engineer

XML documents and International character set
by Joachim Schmitz 21 Aug '99

21 Aug '99

Hi, I played a little bit with the XMLDocument, this looks very interesting and opens a lot of possibilities, especially since you can use ZCatalog with XML-documents. That brings the question of international charactersets up. I tried to insert an "ö" into one of the example slides and get a parse error when hitting change. I can replace the "ö" by "ö", but how will that be handled by ZCatalog ? Gruß Joachim Schmitz WWW-Consultant email: js(a)ac-copy.net tel: +49-241-89491-0 fax: +49-241-89491-29

Using Zope for ECommerce
by Jörg Herbst 21 Aug '99

21 Aug '99

Hi, I'm looking for a software which can be used for an ECommerce Product. Is there anyone who has already experience using the ECommerce which is delivered with zope? Does anyone know something about the copyright (is it GPL ?). Can Zope handle session from anonymous users without using cookies ? Thank for helping a beginner Joerg

Two How-To candidate at new Zope.org
by ÀÌ°ü¼ö 21 Aug '99

21 Aug '99

I just finished writing two "How-To" at the new Zope.org, * http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/kslee/static_folder * http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/kslee/psuedo_image though I doubt they worth their meta_type, "How-To". I'd appreciate any suggestions(better to change its meta_type? errors? improvement?). TIA. Lee Kwan Soo.
