Thanks Martijn and Thierry, Neither of your solutions worked, but they did give me some ideas and I now have a better idea of the mechanics of my problem... Thierry, my main.dtml is different to yours... and Martijn, ^/Zope(/.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1 didn't work... but, thinking with my fingers, looking at the main.dtml (it is burried so deep in the subdirectories.... I doubt I would have found it myself) I discovered that I could add pages, if I went directly to the address: http://linus/Zope/manage_addDTMLDocumentForm I could change the main.dtml so that I am sent to these type addresses, but I feel I will run into other trouble later on when I try external methods. The way I understand it at the moment, what the rewrite rule is trying to do is to turn: http://linus/Zope/?%3Amethod=manage_addDTMLDocumentForm into http://linus/Zope.cgi?%3Amethod=manage_addDTMLDocumentForm which will then redirect to http://linus/Zope/manage_addDTMLDocumentForm I feel very close to a solution now... and at least I can build some Zope pages while I am stumped. Thanks again.... I will go away for a think and try again tonight or tomorrow.

RE: [Zope] Re: Performance of webserver?
by Thaxter, Jason M. 01 Sep '99

That sounds great! Can it be built as --enable-module=pcgi --enable-shared=pcgi? If you work on benchmarking, try increasing the number of threads beyond the default of 4 (e.g. python -t8 -p./Zope.cgi ). If the threads exceeds by 2 or more the number of concurrent requests in your benchmarking app, you'll notice that the performance gap due to pcgi (vs the same test on zserver) narrows rather impressively, but it would be really nice to see it disappear more or less completely! > -----Original Message----- > From: Sam Gendler [mailto:sam.gendler@software.com] > Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 1999 3:36 PM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Re: Performance of webserver? > > > I haven't done any benchmarking, yet, as I only downloaded zope > yesterday.

Feedback: The namespace howto

At that point, the *acquisition* name space stack is: Secondfolder Subfolder Onefolder ROOT During traversal, Onefolder finds subfolder, which then does not find secondfolder, so it searches back through the path until it finds 'secondfolder', which then returns it's index_html. In the second URL, SubFolder has no 'index_html' method, so it tries to acquire it. it will search the namespace stack from the top down: SubFolder OneFolder SecondFolder ROOT thus finding the first 'index_html' in secondfolder. The reason why you can acquire in this way is because the root folder is *allways* the bottom item on the acquisition name space. By that logic, that means that *all items in the root folder are acquirable by the whole object heirarchy*. > Hm, I suppose this was also a request for enlightenment, not just > feedback - oh well Were you enlightened? -Michel > > Rik Hoekstra >

ZCatalog questions
by Jason Jones 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Is it possible with ZCatalog to index subsets of page data? For instance, I would like to index at a paragraph level, including anchors so that I could return users to the relevant part of a matching document. If the phrase "this is some phrase" is found three quarters of the way down the page, and I have anchors every paragraph or so, I'd like to send the user to the closest anchor. Can ZCatalog index on anchors, or on in-file meta data that it can build anchors off of? Thanks, Jason jason_j(a)countermedia.org

How Hotmail blew it

Dear Zopistas, While not directly relevant to Zope development, some people may find the following article of value. http://news.excite.com/news/zd/990901/06/how-hotmail-blew It describes how Hotmail was accessed by placing a simple line in a browser's location field.

Zope Installation pains..
by Nicolas Pottier 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Hello there.. First off let me say that I have RTFM, and it doesn't seem to be helping.. I've also searched the list and (surprisingly) not found any info on similar problems, so this is my last resource.. Trust me I understand how bad lists can get due to annoying newbie questions, but alas, here I am. Anyways, onto the meat of the matter.. I am trying to install Zope onto a fresh Mandrake (Redhat 6.0) 6.1 box, running Apache, the ultimate goal being to run SquishDot. At first I wanted to use pcgi to serve it up, but after struggling with that for a while unsuccessfuly I decided I would settle with using zerver. Now, I've tried both the rpm distribution of zope as well as the standard tgz distribution with the same effect. After the install, I go to http://localhost:9673/ to find my happy Zope home page waiting for me, so far so good. I now try going to the management screen link, and am challenged for a username and password. For some reason, it does not take the default username and password, so I change the access file to contain nic:test. I now shutdown zerver and try again. It now challenges me, and comes up with the following error: Sorry, an error occurred.<p>  Can someone help me out? I'm willing to blow everything away and start over given instructions that are known to work, but I've never had such trouble installing anything before given instructions, so i suspect something is wrong somewhere. Thanks! -Nic PS Please reply directly, as I am not yet on the list

Portal Toolkit
by davidbro＠namshub.org 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Perhaps this is a FAQ, but since I've been off of the list for a while, I probably didn't see the answer fly by. But what is the plan for the Portal Toolkit? Is it part of Zoep 2.0? Or is it an add-on product? Will there be a fee for it? dave (coming back into the Zope fold)

zope hangs after "a while"
by Elliot Lee 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

http://news.gnome.org/gnome-news/ - the GNOME News site is up and running, thanks to help from list members. The only remaining obstacle between the site and a good slashdotting is the fact that after a period of operation, the server hangs (the same symptoms as when I overloaded 2.0.0b4 with requests). This period can be as short as 20-30 minutes, and I think averages around an hour. The site has received 20k page hits over the past 23.5 hours (I've got a script that restarts it every hour). I know this is very vague - if I can provide any specifics, please say so. -- Elliot The time for action is past! Now is the time for senseless bickering!
