IMAP and Zope!

Watching the growing pains of an recently installed IMAP based Corporate E-Mail system makes me just a little queasy about using ZODB for mass storage. Volume is a very real problem, and Zope has it's own limits that must be considered. I know it's formidable, but you may find the ZPatterns stuff useful. One of the goals is to make it "easy" to swap out one storage for another. At first glance it strikes me as fairly straightforward to capture most of the relevant data that accompanies an E-Mail as RDBM "fields". Of course, a text blob, ZODB, or files may be more appropriate for the actual message content, and certainly for included files. ZODB is such a cool thing, but I'm still struggling with deciding what's best held as native ZODB "objects" vs. other possibilities. ZPatterns eases that quandary by making the choice flexible, and easy to "refactor" (fix!) if / when you decide you "got it wrong". You might also check out the companion products "ExtFile" and "ExtImage" http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile which allow storage of "file" type data directly on the file system, yet keep related metadata in ZODB, for ZCataloging, etc. > We're also including support for signing/verifying messages, with GnuPG. Even Better! Good Luck, Jerry S.

FastCGI behind ZServer
by Nicholas Lo 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

I have read a lot about the Apache/Zope/FastCGI configuration in this list. However, I just wonder if anyone have tried having a FastCGI Server behind ZOPE behind Apache? My problem is I have a Apache/Zope site (using proxypass) running for quite some time. And I'm very happy with it. However, until recently, I want to integrate some of my old FastCGI programs into my site. Those FastCGI programs works fine with Apache using mod_fcgi 2.2.8. However, I'd like to make ZOPE act as the middleman so that I can further process the results return from the FastCGI program before publishing to the web. Also, to prevent people from accessing the FastCGI services directly by modifying URLs on their browsers. web -> httpd -> zope -> fastcgi Regards - Nick

zope.org mistake
by ethan mindlace fremen 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

Um... I inadvertently deleted the Data.fs whilst compressing it. Then I compounded my mistake by not remembering that the storage server still had the inode open, and closed the storage server. I have restored from the compressed version of the Data.fs, but it appears that a day or so of information is missing. Rest assured that I will not be so stupid in the future. Thanks for your patience, -- -mindlace- Zopatista Community Liason

manage_access problems

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with my Zope installation I need some help to solve. When I try to access the security (manage_access) page of my root Zope, I get the error listed below:  This only happen with root folder; in subfolders I can manage security without problem, that is, I can access the page and add/remove privileges, local roles, etc, even though I do not master it completely, but this is another story. Any help? My zope configuration is: Debian/GNU Linux 2.2 (potato) zope 2.2.1 zope-guf 1.1.0 zope-pygresqlda 0.3rjr2 zope-renderable 0.2 zope-tinytable 0b2 zope-worldpilot 1.0.4 []s, Mario O.de Menezes "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but IPEN-CNEN/SP is the Lord's purpose that prevails" http://curiango.ipen.br/~mario Prov. 19.21 http://www.revistalinux.com.br

Proper way to do a search.
by Jason C. Leach 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

hi, Is this correct: <dtml-if _.count(_.str(title_or_id),'Bridge',0)> Spam I am. </dtml-if> This is part of a larger loop, that prints all the images in a folder with their titles. I'd like to search the object's title for the word Bridge, even though I know it has it, still it does not print my test phrase. Thanks, j. ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach ...
