base href weirdness

Interesting. If you get a page from Zope by requesting the name of the folder, it renders whatever index_html it finds (either in the folder or by acquisition), and adds a "<base href="location of your zope server">" to the generated HTML. If you ask for the object directly, like "http://my.site/Zope/index_html", no "<base href="...">" is generated. Why is this? And why is the "base href" necessary? I've never seen it anywhere other than Zope (of course, I don't do a "view source" on every site I visit). dave (<base href="mailto:davidbro@namshub.org">)

Either use the binary release of Zope if your platform is supported or recompile Python with the necessary module.

Zope Performance and Large Databases
by davidbro＠namshub.org 07 Sep '99

How much stuff can Zope (or more properly ZODB3) handle in a folder before things get hairy and/or slow and buggy? I want to use Zope as the center of my Home Automation intranet. One of the applications of that HA intranet would be to control the MP3's playing throughout the house. Now, it seems that the best place to store the information about all the MP3's (artist, album, genre, actual location, etc) would be in a relational database that Zope hits, but I also wondered if I could use ZClasses and ZCatalog to manage the information. But being that I have several gigs of MP3's (don't start about copyright stuff, these are ripped from my CD collection), we're talking about a large number of ZClass instances (one per song) stored in the ODB. How robust is the ODB in these sorts of situations? Has there been any testing of Zope with large (I had a boss that didn't think a database was interesting until it had at least a gig of information in it) amounts of data? I know that current file system limits in Linux put an artificial cap on DB size, but you can still get really big before hitting the limitation. dave (I want to put my entire life into zope)

Re: [Zope] Zope Won't Start

Zope has to run as a user authorized to change that file. You can start zope with "./start -u <some user name with the proper perms>". Try "./start -u root" just to see if it works.

Now I need to get the information back out of the list: I was under the impression that the <dtml-in> tag would do this, however, <dtml-in desc> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']"> </dtml-in> gives me the entire list, not each individual item.
