ssl w/ modrewrite
by askart＠impop.bellatlantic.net 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

I found the answear to this this a year ago, but can no longer find where I found it. I have a Zope site set up with modrewrite and apache so that Zope shows up as the root of the site: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/static/(.*) /home/httpd/html/$1 [l] RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] (I know the format is wrong, this email client added carriage returns, but it works as typed in the server withour CRs.) I added modssl, but when I go in on an https I get the original apache root page, and can only access zope at https://address/cgi-bin/Zope . Furthermore, since the SSL connection is not going through modrewrite I cannot log in over SSL, I can just view the pages that anonymous has access to (none). How do I modify the above to make it work with ssl connections (it does not need to work with non-ssl connection since I will disable non-ssl as soon as I get ssl working. Sorry this is a little incoherant, I am suffering from jet-lag. -Harry

first of all, always install the latest versions of popy and zpopyda. you can get them on our website, www.mixadlive.com. you don't need to compile the .py files of the database adapter, zope takes care of loading them through python that will compile them on the fly. please, when a compilation fails, send use some more information, at least the compiler error message and, if you can, installed packages/programs, etc... hope this helps, federico p.s. if you use the Debian distribution you can install popy and zpopyda by simply invoking "apt-get install python-popy zope-popyda" > I am new with Zope and I don't know Python. > I want to use Zope with PostgreSQL. > I have installed PoPy-1.2.1 and compiled the module PoPymodule.so. > I have also installed ZPoPyDA.0.7 in /lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/. > My problem is I don't know if I have to compile the Phyton files in > ZPoPyDA ? > I have tried, and some errors appeared : > > when compiling __init__.py : > ImportError: No module named Globals > when compiling PoPy_db.py : > The PoPy module is old: Update your version of PoPy > > So, I tried to install PoPy-1.3.6, but I failed! > > Is there someone who could help me ??? :-( -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE System Programmer fog(a)mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog(a)debian.org Those who do not study Lisp are doomed to reimplement it.

PoPy
by Laurent Tranchant 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

hello everybody, I am new with Zope and I don't know Python. I want to use Zope with PostgreSQL. I have installed PoPy-1.2.1 and compiled the module PoPymodule.so. I have also installed ZPoPyDA.0.7 in /lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/. My problem is I don't know if I have to compile the Phyton files in ZPoPyDA ? I have tried, and some errors appeared : when compiling __init__.py : ImportError: No module named Globals when compiling PoPy_db.py : The PoPy module is old: Update your version of PoPy So, I tried to install PoPy-1.3.6, but I failed! Is there someone who could help me ??? :-(

I've got a strange error here; whenever absolute_url is called, it is raised a KeyError exception, stating that SERVER_URL is missing.. (The traceback..) Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_addTransform) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_addTransform) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/Transform/transform.py, line 54, in manage_addTransform File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/Transform/transform.py, line 154, in __init__ (Object: CatalogAware) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 278, in _setObject (Object: CatalogAware) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 286, in manage_afterAdd (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 286, in manage_afterAdd (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/CatalogAwareness.py, line 114, in manage_afterAdd (Object: CatalogAware) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/CatalogAwareness.py, line 184, in index_object (Object: CatalogAware) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/CatalogAwareness.py, line 157, in url (Object: CatalogAware) File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/OFS/Traversable.py, line 119, in absolute_url (Object: CatalogAware) KeyError: (see above) The line(s) causing the error were a rather long list of _setObject commands: """ [...] self._setObject('M', agencysort.AgencySort('M')) self._setObject('N', agencysort.AgencySort('N')) [...] """ Any ideas?

trapping login errors/exceptions
by Henny van der Linde 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Hi, This should be very simple but I can't get it to work. I have a method called do_login. This method can't be viewed by anonymous users. When I call this method just with <dtml-call do_login> a standard login screen is presented as expected. Now I want tot trap login errors with a try construction such as this: <dtml-try> <dtml-call do_login> <dtml-except> <p>Login error, please try again (etc.) </p> <dtml-else> <p>Login ok</p> </dtml-try> In this construction the call to do_login always raises the exception Unauthorized instead of presenting the standard login screen. How do I trap login errors in an elegant way? Is there an elegant way to trap login errors resulting from an URL? URL link to a secured object, standard login screen presented, wrong input etc. Thanks Henny van der Linde
