Disabling Services
by Chris Withers 07 Dec '00

07 Dec '00

Hi, When Zope starts up, I see it starts the following: ZServer Medusa (V1.16.4.3) ZServer FTP server ZServer PCGI Server ZServer Monitor Server (V1.8.4.1) Which of those handles WebDAV requests? How do I turn any of the above 'off' permentantly, without hacking z2.py or anything similar (which is nasty ;-) Why? Well, the FTP Server is buggy enough that it needs to be disabled on Production sites. There's no need to run PCGI if you're using Apache ProxyPass, and likewise, no need for medusa if you're PCGI'ing, correct? And as for the monitor, well, I've never used it, and I know it's very powerful, so I'd prefer it if it wasn't around on Production sites... cheers, Chris

Adding users
by Mike Kelland 07 Dec '00

07 Dec '00

Is it possible to have a form in a zope page that allows you to add a new user to the acl_users folder? I can get the data I need, I just need to know, if I have the user name and password as dtml variables, and the user adding the other user has all the appropriate permissions, is there a way in dtml to use this information to add a user (with a defined role). Thanks very much for this and prior help! Mike Kelland mike(a)studiomatic.com

score in ZCatalog search results?
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 07 Dec '00

07 Dec '00

Can't seem to find word on this anywhere. I wanted to put relevancy ranking into my ZCatlog search result hit-list, but am finding no info in searches of zope.org, ZDP, or mailing lists. I've also tried guessing and reading code (in lib/python/SearchIndex), but my brain is melting. Any enlightenment here would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Zope] Newbie question, help with navigation method

Not directly. Almost surely, your "index_html" is a DTML document. A DTML document defines the method "objectValues" and it returns the empty list. One *might* think of this as a bug or a feature. (I tend to think of it as a bug). In a DTML document (unlike a DTML method), the object is pushed on top of the namespace stack. Therefore, the "objectValues" in your navigation object is the "objectValues" of the "index_html" and it returns "[]". If you would make your "index_html" a DTML method, then "objectValues" would be the method of the object for which the method is called for. This means your folder. And it would work. Dieter

Data.fs
by Tom Deprez 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

Hi, My Zope is installed in /usr/local/zope Is it possible to tell zope to store the data.fs file on another directory? eg. /home/zope/var ie. Can you run zope from the directory /usr/local/zope and let it use the data.fs file from /home/zope/var and not /usr/local/zope/var If so, how can I do this? Thanks, Tom

Which Python versions are supported?
by Jim Harrison 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

I'm about to set up a new 2.2.4 Zope server and I've been looking around to see what the situation is between Zope and Python 1.6 and 2.0. Oddly, I'm not able to find a reference to this. Can anyone comment on which version of Python is most appropriate for current Zope releases? Perhaps I just missed it, but it would seem appropriate for this information to be in a prominent place (i.e., Zope's download page). Jim Harrison University of Pittsburgh
