Hello, I've "finally" got ZOPE up and running, but I still have one small(?) problem. Details: on apache redhat 4.2 linux Python 1.5.1 (#1, Aug 17 1999, 09:42:48) [GCC 2.7.2.1] Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) At the end of my httpd.conf i have: --------------------------------------------------- <Location /Zope/> AuthType Basic AuthName Zope-realm AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/users require valid-user </Location> RewriteEngine On RewriteLog /new/usr/apache/logs/rewrite_log #RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1 \ [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] --------------------------------------------------- and most of it works.... I can get the Zope front screen to go... I can open the manage page, I can add users, I can edit current documents, and it serves them fine... but ... I can't add pages... I can't add anything... When I press the add button no matter what I try to add, and no matter where I try to add it I get the HTTP 500 Internal server error page. The button seems to want the document: http://linus/Zope/.?%3Amethod=manage_addDTMLDocumentForm but I think somewhere the "." before the "?" disapears and it says it cant find: http://linus/Zope/?%3Amethod=manage_addDTMLDocumentForm The access_log says 203.32.226.34 - superuser [30/Aug/1999:16:42:48 +1000] "GET /Zope/?%3Amethod=man age_addDTMLDocumentForm HTTP/1.1" 500 282 and the rewrite_log says stuff like 203.32.226.34 - superuser [30/Aug/1999:15:59:43 +1000] [linus.tg.nsw.gov.au/sid# 80a21e4][rid#80bc65c/subreq] (3) applying pattern '^/Zope/(.*)' to uri '/' 203.32.226.34 - superuser [30/Aug/1999:15:59:43 +1000] [linus.tg.nsw.gov.au/sid# 80a21e4][rid#80bc65c/subreq] (1) pass through / I'm guessing the rewrite isn't working for me..... Would/Can anyone help me? Michael Bradbery.

This is the correct (albeit quiet) behavior... Just point your browser at your machine:port, and you'll see Zope. (Hint: I've noticed that you get the "program loading" cursor [the arrow with the little hourglass] when Zope is initializing. When Zope is done, it goes back to the standard arrow cursor.)

Zope 2 on Win 98
by Mayfield, Weatherby 30 Aug '99

30 Aug '99

I installed Python 1.5.2 and then beta 6 of Zope 2.0 on my Windows 98 box. Everything seemed to install fine, but Zope won't start up properly for me. I run start.bat and can see that it calls z2.py, but then it just hits the hard disk for a while and then sits there. I had Zope 1 running fine before this, and when it ran it sent various status messages to the Python window. Now, however, I never get any status messages, nor do I get returned to a prompt. It is like it starts and then just freezes before it gets anywhere. Note: I did uninstall Zope 1 before installing Zope 2. -- Web Mayfield EDS Medicare Business Services 972-604-2277 (8-834)

Sorry, but I can't install the GuestCounter or the Redirector... Can somebody please explain it to me step by step...? I've read the doc many times but I don't get it... It start's with the question about the correct directory (in the filesystem...)... :-( Sven -- PGP-Key-ID: 0x881BF222

multiple select question
by Jason Jones 30 Aug '99

30 Aug '99

I'm trying to pass values from a multiple select to a property. The property sheet won't let me create a multiple selection though. It fails by claiming that the variable which defines the select elements can't be found. I can create a standard select with that variable though. The variable which defines the elements is on a property sheet higher up in my ZClass heirarchy and it is set to the type lines. Is this the problem? How can I set up a multiple select, or at least pass elements from a multiple select into a predefined property. Ultimately I wan't to create a catalog listing like KMNetNews has, but with multiple categories, and possibly subcategories. Thanks, Jason Jones jason_j(a)countermedia.org

Re: [Zope] Idea: ZTest: Integrated Use-case based web site testin g.

While a scheduler within Zope isn't a bad idea, the > infrastructure -- at least on Unix and NT -- is already there. This probably shouldn't be inside Zope, as it could be pretty CPU intensive on occasion. The balance I would strike is to have an external application that uses ZClient to retrieve certain TYPES of objects and then works with them. Then you could manage it through the web, without having to have the actual threads inside Zope.

Apache Rewrite Question
by Ze Octavio 30 Aug '99

30 Aug '99

Hi all, I am using apache with Redhat 6.0, I have to do some Conditions and Rules that is a challenge for me. I already tried a lot of combinations, now my httpd.conf is like this: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/myfolder/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] This works fine, the site begins at myfolder/ this why I put Zope.cgi/myfolder/$1 but I already realized that is not the best way to do it because if I want to access the manage interface I get the content from /myfolder/manage. So I have to access the content of /manage and not /myfolder/manage, ok then I made this lines: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/manage(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/myfolder/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] But didnt worked, then I tried: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteCond $1 !^man/ RewriteRule ^/man/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/myfolder/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] And didnt worked too, am I going in the right way ? Someone can help me ? How can I deal with differents folders, because my problem is if I have a domain zope.hiper.com.br and I made all Documents and Methods inside the folder /zope/ I dont want to have a domain zope.hiper.com.br/zope/ right ? but I still want to access the another folder in the same level that the /zope/ is like zope.hiper.com.br/zope2/ but to do that I have to fix my Rewrite, Am I clear ?

No permission to manage file
by Loren Stafford 30 Aug '99

30 Aug '99

In Zope 1.10.3, I've created a role "admin" that has the same permissions as "manager". I give "admin" role to the Administrators of subsections of our Intranet site. Some folders contain file objects that are (incidently) Acrobat files. Administrators have found when they are at the /manage screen for a folder, when they click on the link to the /manage-main method for a file object (e.g. http://intranet/Operations/DocControl/OPS-001.pdf/manage_main) they are presented with the authentication screen again, and authentication alway fails. (I've also experimented with files that do not have the .pdf extension, with the same results.) The Administrators can add files to the folder, but they cannot edit them. Looking at the security panel for the objects in question, I can see no reason for authentication to fail. All permissions are inherited from the folder, and the user (Administrator) has all permission that a "manager" has. Can anyone think of a reason for this behaviour? -- Thanks -- Loren Stafford

Startup script for Zope 2.x on RedHat Linux 6.0
by Suder Steen SFS 30 Aug '99

30 Aug '99

Hi, I'm looking for a script to start my Zope system on a RH6 system. The "start" script is nice, but it doesn't detach from the console. Does anyone have an example, a working script or suggestions? Best regards, Steen Suder Zope newbie
