Re: [Zope] pcgi error message.
by Andrew Lahser 20 Aug '99

I'm stymied as well. But I do know what it means. Your trying to use a webserver, such as Apache, with Zope. When a request comes into your webserver, your webserver attempts to send the request over to Zope. Here is how. 1. Request arrives at web server. 2. Web server sends request to Zope.cgi. With Apache, a mod_rewrite rule is necessary to pass the authentication information because Apache usually handles basic authentication. 3. Zope.cgi, as configured by the Zope install process, starts up pcgi/pcgi- wrapper. 4. The pcgi-wrapper reads the environment from the Zope.cgi file 5. The pcgi-wrapper determines if the socket is available, and sends the request to the socket of your long-running process -- Zope (Zope2) or pcgi_publisher.py (Zope 1). 6. If the socket is not available, the pcgi-wrapper trys to start the publisher and send the request. 7. The pcgi-wrapper sends the response to the web server, which delivers it to the client Your problem could be in serveral areas. 1. If you are using Zope beta 4 or under, do the following. (This could be fixed in beta 5.) cd /Path/to/your/zope cd pcgi ./configure make This will remake the pcgi-wrapper, which will fail to connect as compiling in the installation tarball. There was a thread on this very topic last week or the week before, you can search egroup.com/list/zope or review the archives from the zope.org site 2. Your Zope.cgi is not configured correctly. There are serveral helpful readmes. In order of importance. doc/INSTALL -- grep for pcgi -- How to start zope with pcgi server enabled. doc/WEBSERVER -- grep for pcgi -- How to setup your webserver to send requests to Zope.cgi doc/FAQ.txt -- a question on what to do when getting "failure to connect" pcgi/README -- overview of pcgi pcgi/Win32/README.nt -- if you do that sort of thing You can also test your pcgiinfo file (Zope.cgi) using the pcgi/Test/parseinfo program. 3. Permissions are set incorrectly for the var directory for Apache or Zope. Mind you, I still haven't figured out my problem, but I am reasonably certain about these notes.

RE: [Zope] printable page option
by Paul Everitt 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Yes, it should have that option, but remember it's in beta. For the next week, though, we'll be spending most of our time fixing what is there and trying to hold off on adding new things. Certainly by the time we cut over the old site it will be working. --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Jordan B.

Hi Another question comes to my mind (full of existentialist questions about any new tool) How do you insert a Flash movie (.swf file) into Zope ?!?!

Slice Bug in Zope 2b5 ?
by Oliver Dissars 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hello, since I installed the b5 of Zope 2 I can not use anymore the slicing function for database result sets. The following query works with b4 without any problems: select LastName as Nachname, FirstName as Vorname, Company as Firma from contacts order by LastName .............. Wenn I try to use the result slicing for database queries in b5, Zope generates this error message: ------------------------- cut here -------------------------------------- Error Type: TypeError Error Value: slice index must be int Traceback (innermost last): File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 209, in publish_module File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 199, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: list_all_contacts_2) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 154, in mapply (Object: manage_test) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: manage_test) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/DA.py, line 307, in manage_test (Object: list_all_contacts_2) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: <string>) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 610, in renderwb (Object: list_all_contacts_2) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_InSV.py, line 388, in __getitem__ File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_InSV.py, line 212, in query TypeError: (see above) ------------------------- cut here -------------------------------------- Changend anything from b4 to b5 for slicing?

Hi all, Anyone know why my How-To is not showing up in the new Zope Beta. That is I created a how-to and it doesn't show up with the other how-to's on the documentation page. Even if I do a manual search for how-to's it doesn't show up. :( TIA Phil phil(a)philh.org ~~~~~~~~~~

Q: How to serve Files/Dirs as documents?
by Thomas Riedl 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hi there! After some interruption to my Zoperies (live's no mercy, right? ;-) I'm wondering about this: I'd like (for IMHO quite obvious reasons ;-) to have some mapping from my (Unix) filesystem to Zope objects, like I have directories with (DTML) files which I's like to 'render'. I'm thinking of quite regularly changing file content (due to events external to zope) along with a good deal of 'binaries' whose "meta informations" (version, author, notify-upon-change a.s.o.) are stored in the DTML files. It's also possible that vi-nics want to meddle with them (so, no Emacs EFS support for those boneheads). ( E.g. an User uses his browser to navigate himself to a some 'documentation area'. He then could see for all docs residing there their author, current version, last update time, approval by and all that. By clicking on a 'Document Data' button, his browser would e.g. start some 'version control' wrapper along with StarOffice. If there are changes, this very wrapper would rewrite the appropriate '*.dtml' file. ) A "Magic Black Box" Zope thing would then e.g. try to match an object path to directories, read something like '.properties'-files for each directory to represent folder properties and e.g. '.properties.file.dtml' for each leave object 'file.dtml' and of course use acquisition. ( Such a path might e.g. read '/Zope/Filemap1/home/thatsme/currvitae' and hit a 'currvitae'-File that contains something like 'This is ' and e.g. 'thatsme/.properties' containig a line 'me=My Real Name' Filemap1 according to my current idea would be a Product instantiation of my/some TBD "Magic Black Box FileAccess" product. ). Q's now are: Does this Make Sense? Is there something that could keep me from reinventing a wheel? Why wouldn't I like to do it this way? And which way is the Zen Way to go?

One special case...
by Arnaud Lecat 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hi I'm in front of one special case. You know that you can put an image in background of a <TD>, the syntax is <TD background="/images/myimage.gif"> With Zope when you put an image object it doesn't work :( Here's what you will get <TD background="<img src="/images/myimage.gif">"> which of course doesn't work... Perhaps there's a tip for that Bye -- >> WinErr: 080 Clavier introuvable - Veuillez appuyer sur n'importe quelle touche pour continuer. << Arnaud LECAT >> Email: lecat(a)hexanet.fr >> WWW page:www.hexanet.fr/~lecat HEXANET >> http://www.hexanet.fr Z.A.

Need a clue with UserDb
by Tony McDonald 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hmmm...I need some help here. I have a folder, Upload whose contents are index_html (no acquired permission on 'view', Anonymous User 'view' = no, Owner 'view' = yes). This is the DTML Document that does all the good stuff like listing files and allowing uploads. ie it's the 'guts' of the system. acl_users (a UserDb folder) some assorted methods, ZSQL methods etc. If I go to the URL like so .../Upload/ (thereby calling the index_html DTML Document) I get the following traceback: (in the body if the page) An error has occurred. and in the comment...  However, if I use a URL like so ../Upload/acl_users/docLogin I get the lovely docLogin page that I composed and the person can authenticate happily, and as I made the ACTION part of the docLogin method to be /Upload/index_html the person can then start doing authenticated things. I can also call ../Upload/acl_users/logout and the docLogout document is called and the cookie crumbles. I thought I understood that UserDb would make authentication required for those users who don't have the 'view' role (ie Anonymous Users would get redirected to the docLogin document), obviously I *didn't* understand! Is my problem due to the Zen-Void in my nut or have I found a ... bug!

diffucult question
by wombat_harness＠hotmail.com 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hey everyone, if anyone can help me with this i would be enternally grateful. This is the problem: On a form i have two dynamically created list objects, quantity:list and bikeID:list (pulled from a mySQL Db). Basically it is working as a shopping cart and when the user changes the quantity and presses the submit button the value of the quantity field in a mySQL database is updated. Now, i have no problem with the UPDATE statement or getting the two list objects through at the processing end, the problem i am having is that i need to associate the bikeID with the quantity so that the correct quantity is matched against the correct ID in the database. Normally in perl or ASP, you could set an incrementing counter that you could use on both form fields and then dynamically create the variable names on the processing side. However, i don't think you can do this in Zope and i am having huge problems being able to get the two variables together... If this makes sense at all, PLEASE HELP ME!!! Thanks for any help anyone can give, Wom.
