Unique incrementing IDs
by Kevin Dangoor 11 Sep '99

11 Sep '99

Hi, Since Zope is multithreaded, it seems like there could be a problem doing something like this: <dtml-comment newid is a folder property> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newid', newid + 1)"> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('id', newid)"> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['SomeProduct']"> <dtml-call "ZClass_add(_.None, _)"> </dtml-with> It seems plausible that you might end up trying to create two objects with the same ID. This will obviously fail, but it would be nice if there was an easy way to get the next ID sequentially like this. Am I correct in assuming that there may be a condition where it tries to create two objects with the same ID? Kevin

another "issue.1999.01"-Problem
by Tom Schwaller 11 Sep '99

well, here another problem I'm fighting with: <dtml-with "_.getattr(_.getattr(issue, '1998'), '01')"> or <dtml-with issue><dtml-with 1998><dtml-with 01> works perfect, but now I want to get the string Wo="issue.1998.01" from an input-field and go to the corresponding subfolder (always begining from the top) <dtml-in "_.string.split(Wo, '/')"> <dtml-if sequence-start> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Wo', _.getattr(PARENTS[-1], sequence-item))"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Wo', _.getattr(Wo, sequence-item))"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> gives File /home/src/Python/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 321, in eval (Object: REQUEST.set('Wo', _.getattr(PARENTS[-1], sequence-item))) File <string>, line 0, in ? NameError: (see above) Wo="News" as input for <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Wo', _.getattr(PARENTS[-1], Wo))"> works as expected. Is sequence-item not a string in the above example? -- Tom

RE: [Zope] new proposal with Verisign CA (was radius authenticati on instead of flatfile or userdb?)

I listed > apache/stronghold because I have a bad habit of relating everything to > open source products. Well, in this case, Zope CAN use x509 authentication!!! Netscape Enterprise Servers (ES) have a regular expression-like capability of matching Distinguished Names (DNs) to userids. This is useful because (a) by default Netscape ES stores user data in an internal db file keyed on userid AND (b) once bound the userid can be passed to Zope in the environment (using PCGI). The harder part would be getting access to ANYTHING other than the userid. This would require some work in C with the NSAPI. However, I've lurked on some of Netscape's snews: groups and looked a lot at Developer's Edge and there is some nice (i.e., well-commented!) sample code to look inside a cert once it's been authenticated. Good luck, --Rob

It should be running tommorow. Yeah, pcgi is exciting, isn't it. I've been at the Linux Kongress, and as usual, the boxes just start to act weird when I leave their vincity. Don't ask me why this is so. ;) Andreas -- Andreas Kostyrka | andreas(a)mtg.co.at phone: +43/1/7070750 | phone: +43/676/4091256 MTG Handelsges.m.b.H. | fax: +43/1/7065299 Raiffeisenstr. 16/9 | 2320 Zwoelfaxing AUSTRIA

hello, i'm struggling with a zope install. trying to use zserver with pcgi on top of apache 1.3.6 (mod_rewrite compiled in, the rewrite rule put into httpd.conf). it's zope 2.0.0 and python 1.5.2 i get the infamous temporarily unavailable message, which comments: Error parsing pcgi info file pcgi-wrapper-version 2.0a5 if i run python pcgifile.py Zope.cgi i get jon@w1:/web/zope# python pcgifile.py Zope.cgi PCGI_SOCKET_FILE write permission error: /web/zope/var/pcgi.soc the files look like so: jon@w1:/web/zope# ls -al var/ total 160 drwxrwxrwx 3 zopesrv nobody 512 Sep 11 04:12 . drwxr-xr-x 10 zopesrv nobody 512 Sep 11 04:16 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 84 Mar 26 16:44 .cvsignore -rw------- 1 zopesrv nobody 78463 Sep 11 02:18 Data.fs -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 76750 Jun 23 19:03 Data.fs.in -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 5 Sep 11 04:16 Data.fs.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 0 Sep 11 02:28 Data.fs.tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 0 Sep 11 02:18 Z2.log -rw-rw-rw- 1 zopesrv nobody 11 Sep 11 04:16 Z2.pid drwxr-xr-x 3 zopesrv nobody 512 Sep 11 02:18 gadfly -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 0 Sep 11 02:45 pcgi.log -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 5 Sep 11 04:16 pcgi.pid srwxrwxrwx 1 root nobody 0 Sep 11 04:12 pcgi.soc -rw-r--r-- 1 zopesrv nobody 5 Sep 11 04:16 zProcessManager.pid jon@w1:/web/zope# yes, i created a user and called him zopesrv and put him in the same group as nobody. figured this would ease apache/zope permissions problems. i'm running the start and stop scripts as root - it seems like zope creates the pcgi.soc file upon a connection. if it's root owned and s777, why am i getting permissions errors on it? here's my Zope.cgi: jon@w1:/web/zope# more Zope.cgi #!/web/zope/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_PORT=8079 PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/web/zope/lib/python/Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=/web/zope/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=/usr/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/web/zope/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/web/zope/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/web/zope/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=/web/zope/Zope.cgi BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/web/zope do i need the PCGI_PORT ? what's the deal with PCGI_MODULE_PATH ? it defaulted to /web/zope/lib/python/Zope but the pcgifile.py didn't like that. i changed it to Main.py because i saw a few other posters do that in the list archives. any advice would be appreciated greatly thanks -jon -- Jonathan Nathan Web Systems Engineer, CAIS Internet jon(a)cais.net

I think you came across some binary releases for unix as well? So they are most often archives you have to extract before use. HTH Tino
