hi everyone, i am trying to compile the DCOracle package (version 1.2.1). somehow i seem to be missing a library and i'm not sure where this library is supposed to reside and if it's supposed to come from my oracle installation or if it's a system library. i just installed oracle 8.0.5 standard edition on linux. any help is greatly appreciated... here is the error: gcc -shared oci_.o -L/home/oracle/app/8.0.5/lib/ -L/home/oracle/app/8.0.5/rdbm s/lib /home/oracle/app/8.0.5/rdbms/lib/defopt.o /home/oracle/app/8.0.5/lib/ssco reed.o /home/oracle/app/8.0.5/lib/nautab.o /home/oracle/app/8.0.5/lib/naeet.o /h ome/oracle/app/8.0.5/lib/naect.o /home/oracle/app/8.0.5/lib/naedhs.o -lnetv2 -ln ttcp -lnetwork -lncr -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwork -lclient -lvsn -lcommon -lgen eric -lmm -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwor k -l ncr -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwork -lclient -lvsn -lcommon -lgeneric -lepc -lnlsr tl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lclient -lvsn -lcommon -lgeneric -lnlsr tl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lsocket -lnsl -lgen -ldl -lelf -laio -l posi x4 -lsql -lm -lm -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwork -lncr -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwork - lcli ent -lvsn -lcommon -lgeneric -lmm -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsr tl3 -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwork -lncr -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwork -lclient -lvsn -lc ommo n -lgeneric -lepc -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lclient -lv sn - lcommon -lgeneric -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lsocket -ln sl - lgen -ldl -lelf -laio -lposix4 -lsql -lm -lm -o oci_.so /usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lsocket: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [oci_.so] Error 1 jens

Thanks for the heads up Kevin. I'll get right on searching the archive. Jason Kevin Dangoor wrote: > > I believe that ZCatalog has the ability to do a range search.

Zopsters, I have been trying to get the Catalog to so a "><==" greater then, less than, equal to search in an integer property. Can this be done? Jason Spisak

Importing existing flatfile web?
by Steen Suder 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

We have here a little web that would be nice to just import to our brand new Zope 2.0 heaven. It's plain html files from a standard Apache system. I've tried Import, but that's obviously for exported objects, not plain files. I've also been at the Add file feature, but that just adds the file... as a file. I should have been as an object as I understand it. Is there a simple way? -- Best regards / Mvh., Steen Suder sysadm kollegie6400.dk GNU - makes me feel better! Ehhh, Linux is GNU, right...?

This is largely true.

I know from a recent personal test that Netscape 4.x doesn't like more than either 32 or 64k in its textarea. On IE5 I quit testing at something like 300k. Alternatively, you could upload files and have a clever ExternalMethod recast them as DTML Documents or Methods. --Rob

pcgi fails with only included python
by Albert Kinderman 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

I just did a fresh install of Zope 2.0 on a new RedHat 6.0 system. Using apache, the Zope.cgi failed with a connection refused (102) failure during connect from pcgi-wrapper. Zope.cgi points to /usr/local/Zope/bin/python as the PCGI_EXE, which should be 1.5.2 as required. However, the installed python on RedHat 6.0 was 1.5.1. After I updated the python on the system to 1.5.2, Zope.cgi worked. I had a similar problem before when the system had no python on it. [I should have remembered sooner that the problem was probably the python version.] Is it possible to configure pcgi-wrapper to run correctly with only Zope/bin/python installed on the system?

RE: [Zope] better than Notes (but where are the views ?)

You could either: (a) tool through all of them searching for the values you were after (yuck), or (b) use the ZCatalog stuff ZCatalog is a full-text and fielded indexing engine for Zope. The New Zope Site uses ZClasses and the ZCatalog EXTENSIVELY. IMO, ZClass instances + ZCatalog are analagous to Notes views. --Rob

Some newbie questions
by David C. Morrill 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

I've been following Zope for a couple of months now, and in the last week or so I've started using it seriously for building a web site for my wife's business. After creating quite a few folders and DTML documents, I'd like to find a way to streamline the management interface. My first thought was to reorganize some of the management pages, but I'm having some trouble trying to figure out where they are defined (e.g. manage_workspace) and how to go about changing them once I find them. Acquisition is really cool, but it can make tracking things down somewhat problematic at times. Anyone got any pointers about where I should be looking? I also saw the article John Udell(?) wrote at Byte.com about Zope and some of the forum discussion there that followed. One forum article mentioned that Web-DAV could be used with IE5 by opening Zope as a Web Folder. This sounded intriguing, so I tried it (after having to completely re-install IE5 to get Web Folder support to work right :-(. However, I must be missing the point, or have the wrong idea about what it will allow me to do. If I open 'http://MyZopeSite:8080/' I get a nice file folder view of my Zope site. But when I try to drag a DTML document to an editor, I get an error dialog saying 'An error occurred copying some or all of the selected files'. If I try to open 'http://MyZopeSite:8080/manage' I get an error saying it can't open the page as a Web Folder. What am I doing wrong? And when it works right, what should I be able to do? Any help will be greatly appreciated. BTW, I found the mini-HOWTO's on DTML Document/Method differences and Namespace management to be very helpful. They cleared up several points that had been pretty murky in my understanding of Zope. Hopefully these will be added to the main documentation at some point. Dave Morrill

This is what ZCatalog comes in. It makes it really easy to grab objects from all over the ZODB and spit them out any way you want. <dtml-in "Catalog({'meta_type': 'Article', 'author': 'Blah'})"> <dtml-if sequence-start> <ul> </dtml-if> <li><dtml-var title></li> <dtml-if sequence-end> </ul> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> This is how the new zope.org beta works. A user can create a news item in their own Member folder and, after approval, this article will bubble up to the main news listing via ZCatalog. Kevin
