Hi all, I'm trying to run Zope with Apache. I have big problem with authorization. The Apache server can't forvard authorization to Zope. I have read WEBSERVER.txt and I have already tried to aplly RewriteRule and RewriteCond in apache conf. files. But I wasn't succesfull. Can anyone send to me correct example of httpd.conf ?

I think it would be of very general use -- I want it for a web site I'm setting up on micro-robots, which brings together people from diverse technical backgrounds. The glossary would define mechanical, electrical, aerodynamic, materials terminology, so that the pages that make up the site would contain links to the definitions. In my plan, the definitions can also contain an optional image, to better show a concept or physical part. The product will be opensource and I'll announce it here when I'm further along, to get feedback. Oh, and the equation tiles are a product for dropping little GIF images of equations into pages, for engineering discussions. -Jeff Rush

I wonder how to customize the error messages that appear sometimes, e.g. if someone tries to access a document that does not exist on my server? Andy Pahne

FTP error
by Robin Becker 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

I see this when double clicking on certain files in IE5 after I access the 8021 ftp port as ftp://login:password@localhost:8021 I thought that the FTP server wasn't doing any kind of dtml interpretation but it may be that IE is trying to pass by the FTP as I see partial texts with IE and things mostly go ok with nestofsnakes. One interesting thing is that NS asks me for the password again for TinyTables, but cannot display/access these. 1999-09-29T12:19:54 INFO(0) ZServer Incoming connection from 127.0.0.1:1179 ------ 1999-09-29T12:19:54 ERROR(200) ZServer unexpected disconnect on data xmit channel ------ 1999-09-29T12:19:54 ERROR(200) ZServer exception in trigger thunk: (exceptions.A ttributeError:'None' object has no attribute 'close_when_done' [C:\Python\devel\ Zope\ZServer\medusa\select_trigger.py|handle_read|150] [C:\Python\devel\Zope\ZSe rver\FTPResponse.py|apply|139] [C:\Python\devel\Zope\ZServer\FTPServer.py|listdi r_completion|245]) ------ 1999-09-29T12:19:54 INFO(0) ZServer Successful login. -- Robin Becker

2.0.1 File Add Error; Help.
by Robin Becker 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

A colleague is getting an error when trying to add a large file with ID UK99.zip I'm sure that the file exists. Adding a test file worked OK. I have tried the same operation on my machine and get no error. On his machine an FTP transfer can upload the file. I run win95 with no network. The error occurs with 2.0.1 Win98 with I think Novell as the network provider. We're just about to go live so I need some input on this. According to my buddy the transaction seems to be doing something, but then after a fairly long time the error happens. Could there be a timeout somewhere along the line?

RE: [Zope] comparing variables from different name spaces?
by Chris McDonough 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

Ainis, You can do this by using the PARENTS object. For example, the following (untested) code, when run from http://youserver/test/dir2/hardware/prices/index_html (assuming index_html is a dtml method and not a dtml document -- a dtml document has its own properties) will give you the id of the /test/dir2 folder:  e.g. it will print "dir2" While:  will give you the id of the hardware folder (e.g. it will print "hardware"), et. al. I think this is what you're looking for.. -----Original Message----- From: Ainis [mailto:ainis@mindless.com] Sent: Monday, September 27, 1999 6:40 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] comparing variables from different name spaces? Hello ALL, How do i compare variables from two different namespaces? In my current situation I need to check if my current path is in some directory tree. For example lets say I have folders /test/dir1 /test/dir2 /test/dir3 In these folders there are alot more other folders, so when i currently am in for example /test/dir2/hardware/prices/index_html the script should check in which of those 3 root folders (dir1, dir2 or dir3) am i. Now lets look at the part of /test/dir2/hardware/prices/index_html source: <dtml-with test> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])">  </dtml-in--> </dtml-with--> Ok, so in this case i have a loop in which i go through ids of all folders in /test/ but now how do I check test's subfolder's id is PARENT of my current /test/dir2/hardware/prices/ folder? I think the easiest way would be- <dtml-if dir2> but that has to be done only from /test/dir2/hardware/prices/ names pace which (i think) I have already lost with <dtml-with test>. So how do I compare the older name space's variable with newer one's? I also tried some tricks with <dtml-with blah only> but with no success. P.S. excuse me if this turns out to be lame question, I'm a bit new to Zope Best regards, Ainis mailto:ainis@mindless.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope (To receive general Zope announcements, see: http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

where are you sticking site-wide methods/resources ? (too many DTML-WITH's) DTML-WITH's)
by chas 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

In the past 3 weeks I've reorganised my code as many times and I still haven't come to an optimal solution. So, may I ask : how are others doing this ? For example, I have 50+ DTML methods and 40+ external methods which are used throughout the site (I have many more of each which are specific to certain folders but they're not a problem.) The most convenient thing would be to stick these 'site-wide' methods in the root folder of Zope but then I had to scroll 2 pages to get to the pulldown menu and, basically, I didn't like it. So, I stuck all of these into a folder called /Imports and split them into further subfolders. Then I use <DTML-WITH "Imports"><DTML-VAR methodname></DTML-WITH> or <DTML-WITH "Imports.Subfolder"><DTML-VAR methodname></DTML-WITH> This caused quite a few headaches at first as variables disappeared often. But the biggest problem has been that my pages are so full of <DTML-WITH>'s that I'm losing a lot of the 'thoughtspace' (ie. I can't just look at a page and easily grok what it does - all I see is these WITH's) ... this bodes not well for a large, long term project. What I love about Python is that I can write import module1, module2, module3 at the top of a script and be done with it. The rest of the code is then elegant and clean. The equivalent in DTML would be to put <DTML-WITH Imports> into standard_html_header and </DTML-WITH> in the footer but obviously that is not possible because it would royally screw up the namespace/acquisition. Am I overlooking something here ? cheers, chas

Australia/NSW timezone support
by Chris Allen 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

Hi, Australian Zope users may be interested in some updates which add timezone data for Australia/NSW (including daylight savings periods) and corrects a "US/Eastern" problem. For further information see: http://www.zope.org/Members/kmem/tz_aus Maybe they will eventually find their way into the actual Zope product :o) Regards, Chris
