Namespace problem with the dtml-sendmail and the smtphost
by Max Møller Rasmussen 04 Oct '00

04 Oct '00

I have a dtml method in a zClass that looks like this: <dtml-sendmail smtphost=theSMTPHost> To: maxm(a)normik.dk From: test(a)normik.dk Subject: This is a test A test!!! </dtml-sendmail> "theSMTPHost" is defined as a property in the zClass. But when i use the method I get a: Error Type: error Error Value: host not found If i write: <dtml-sendmail smtphost="mail.tele.dk"> It gets send without a hitch. and if I write <dtml-var theSMTPHost> it returns mail.tele.dk as expected. I then try this, which also fails. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('theSMTPHost', 'mail.tele.dk')"> Mailhost: <dtml-var theSMTPHost> <dtml-sendmail smtphost=theSMTPHost> To: maxm(a)normik.dk From: test(a)normik.dk Subject: This is a test A test!!! </dtml-sendmail> Is it not possible to set the smtphost to a string in a dtml variabel? Regards Max M

The traceback suggests that your requests tries to access the object "broken", probably an object from a broken product. I suggest, you start Zope with "STUPID_LOG_FILE=zope.log". This should log problems during Zope startup to "zope.log" (you may need to upgrade to Zope 2.2.2, as earlier Zope versions lost one exception log due to a missing "flush"). If you see no problems logged, try to go to "Control_panel/ProductManagement" and check whether there are broken products. Dieter

IMAP and Zope!
by Joachim Werner 04 Oct '00

04 Oct '00

Hello! I am searching for a current IMAP Adapter solution for Zope. What we have found so far is Ryan Hughes' WorldPilot, which has great IMAP support, but doesn't really integrate with Zope, and the two products "NotMail" and "IMAP Adapter" on the classic Zope site. The latter two seem to have been unmaintained for quite a while. Does anybody use the old IMAP Adapter successfully with Zope 2.2.x or know an alternative solution? We are working on an integrated groupware solution (it will all be open sourced) and want to either store all documents (incl. mail) in a single Zope-based storage or at least simulate that by dynamically wrapping the mails into objects (similar to what Local_FS does with files on the file system). Thanks in advance!

PCGI and images not displaying
by bruno＠xs2.greenpeace.org 04 Oct '00

04 Oct '00

Hello My set up: Linux (X/OS distribution based on RedHat 6.0), Zope 2.1.6 + PCGI + Apache 1.3.9 We have a DTML document that shows an image based on the selection from the user, something like this: <img src="images/<dtml-var card_id>/<dtml-var picture>"> (I snipped all the rest because it's of no interest here). The image is stored as an object in the ZODB. When the user requests that page, sometimes, the image is not returned to the browser. What I see in the log from Apache is a return code 304 (not changed) and a return code 200 in the Z2.log ... Does anyone knows of this? Is there a workaround besides putting the image in the filesystem and serving it as a URL from Zope only? TIA. /B

List

Hi, I'm storing a selection of a user to a database as string. This selection is a multiple selection from a select box and is outputted as a list. Now I want to iterate over this list (after retrieving it from the database), but how can I do this? How can I tell Zope that the string is actually a list? How can I typecast in Zope? Thanks, Tom.

SiteRoot
by Stephan Goeldi 04 Oct '00

04 Oct '00

I have a problem with SiteAccess: My site runs with Apache and Zope 2.0.0. Apache has 2 Domains: www.domain1.com ProxyPass to Zope: http://123.123.123.123:8080/provider/www/domain1.com/ in Zope exists: /provider/www/domain1.com www.domain2.com ProxyPass to Zope: http://123.123.123.123:8080/provider/www/domain2.com/ in Zope exists: /provider/www/domain2.com In both subdirectories (domain1.com and domain2.com) exist the SiteRoot method. In the SiteRoot method is written: Title: www.domain1.com Base: http://www.domain1.com Path: / When I point my Browser to www.domain1.com everything works ok. Now I create /provider/www/domain2.com OK I create the acl_user domain2.com with a password. OK I create a SiteRoot: Title: www.domain2.com Base: http://www.domain2.com path: / OK I restart Zope and Apache OK Now when I point my Browser to www.domain2.com I get the Website of www.domain1.com. I go to http://www.domain2.com/manage and get the folder: /provider/www/domain1.com instead of /provider/www/domain2.com When I log in as domain1.com I get the folder /provider/www/domain1.com and everything works ok. But I can go up to the folder /provider/www and see what else is in this folder. But domain1.com has no access to this folder, i.e. there is no acl_user in this folder. What goes wrong? I already tried to upgrade to 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 but this destroys the data structure. Any suggestions?

zope 2.1.3 ->2.2.2 transition problems
by Kevin Worth 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

I just recently upgraded to 2.2.2. Upon upgrading, all instances of products that I created are broken. The products themselves are not, just every instance of every product that I made. External and standard products work just fine. Strange part coming up: I can make new instaces replacing the broken ones. However, 10-30 minutes after creating these new instances, the new instances are broken. I've tried this twice, with the same results. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyway I thought the python distributed with > binary release of Zope is threaded, no? If Python is compiled without threads, there is no module "thread". Zope relies on this module. It dies immediately, if it is not there. Thus, you can be sure, your Python has thread support compiled in. > So, does anybody know of either binary and threaded Zope driver for > Oracle , Sybase etc. or the same ODBC driver? And what is the state of > python threading on WinNT paltform? The Python that comes with Zope has thread support compiled in. Maybe, your Python-ODBC connection "forgets" to release Python's interpreter lock. We, once, had such a problem. Accidentally, the DCOracle module had been set up with a standard Python distribution (with threading disabled) rather than the Zope Python. As a consequence, the DCOracle did not call "releaseLock" and "acquireLock" (as they would not be present in a non-threaded Python). And, of course, database operations blocked Zope. Dieter
