2.2b3 hangs a lot
by Bak ＠ kedai 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

hi all been running 2.2.0b3 for a few days now. config redhat6.1 postgres ZPygreSql kmnetnews after some time, zope just hangs. when i do top, there's no processor usage at all on all python processes. after a few minutes, zopes wake up and continue to serve. the cycle continues after some time. the hangup is very sporadic. while this is happening i can still connect to the said port, but can't GET or PUT anything. this is a site that used to work on 2.1.6, no major changes. except for the updated Lexicon.py provided by Brian. also, if i started with -Z, how long will it take zope to realize it's not responding and to restart again? if i started Zope with a non default thread, what are the concequences? anybody experienced zope hangups? help, pointers, etc, sought! i hope to document these, for the benefit of others like me. thanks -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?

KM|net News help
by Wesley Anderson 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

Being a newbie, I've decided to use the KM|net News product as a base to get my magazine/newspaper site off the ground. I've found it OK so far, but one of the problems I'm having is adding old (ie archived) articles to the database. I go in and create a new KMYear (1999) and a new month (1). When I get to the "add KMArticle" and try and enter an Id (even with 9 numbers), I get an Invalid date/time string error. How can I create valid Id's? Once I have a valid Id, I assume I'll be able to create an article (incoming.html?) I'd also like to get rid of the "By" (my authors don't identify themselves) and the date/time stamp. Where do I find the code for this? Also, is there any way of getting around the fact that you have to approve an article. In the 'Editing Articles" section of the documentation, you're told you "will recieve a message with a link to the edit page of that article. As I don't have SMTP access, I can't specify the mailhost which means I can't approve the article. Lastly, once I have the articles in there, how do I make them "belong" to a particular section? Thanks in advance for your help. Wesley

How to retrieve content of a document?
by Luke Tymowski 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

Hello, Yet another question. I've gone through the DTML Reference Guide but couldn't find the answer. How do I display the content of a DTML Document through a query? For example: <dtml-with Document> <dtml-in "objectValues(['DTML Document'])" size=3 sort=id> <dtml-var id> <dtml-var title><br> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> Displays the document's name and title. But how do i display the content of that document within that query? I apologise if it's obvious. thanks, Luke

ProxyPass Problems
by Baker, Dennis [sjmr] 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

I'm having a problem with getting ProxyPass and SSL to work. I followed the How-to on Using Apache with ZServer, and unfo's How-To on Apache+ZServer+SSL. And my setup is nearly identical to the one listed on the howto. I have my main site in the root of my Zope Setup, and My SSL site is in a subdirectory of the root called SecureSite. After setting up the ProxyPass Directives in Apache (I have the httpd.conf section attached below) and Adding the SiteRoot objects on Zope I can access the main Site at http://mysite.org, but if I try to access https://mysite.org my web browser hangs until it times out. Also, it becomes impossible to browse the SecureSite Folder unless I delete the SiteRoot Object. It appears to be some kind of Apache issue, however I can't figure out why it won't connect, the directives are almost identical to the ones on the Howto.

OT: MS Outlook sucks
by Wilkinson Charlie E 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

...but you already knew that didn't you? First, an apology for previously sending MIME/html crap to the list, even after being told about it and after I thought I had it turned off, and another apology for this OT message while I'm at it. I think I've got it now. Using OL2k(CW) here, and I had set "plain text" everywhere I could find to set it. After visiting the Zope mailing list archives today, I was alarmed to find that I was *still* sending out MIME/html attachments. (A hearty thanks to the list members for not beating me up about this.) I checked the messages in my Sent box and these very same MIME/html attachement messages were listed as having been sent in plain text. Grrr... After much bitching, whining and research, I stumbled across what is possibly a fix. It seems that OL2k requires Outlook Express for some of its functionality, especially some aspects of handling SMTP (Internet) e-mail. I've never used OE for anything (on purpose), but I fired it up and checked the format for sending messages. It was set to html. It's now set to plain text. So maybe, just *maybe* its fixed now. (If it's not, then I've got some more bitching and whining to do...) I'm hoping this info might help anyone else here who may be having this problem.

ZODB/FSSession TransactionError

Funny though, I fired up the original Zope and immediately used <dtml-var SessionUID> which gave me a KeyError - understandable since I had not started FSSession yet. Realizing this I did a <dtml-call FSSession> and Voila - it worked without having to remove any session files. Thanks for the help, Brian

Creating PythonMethod from ZClass constructor/method.
by Jeff Hoffman 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

Hello, Using Zope 2.2b3, I am trying to create a PythonMethod from the constructor of my ZClass and keep getting an authorization dialog. In my MyZClass_add method, I have: <dtml-with "MyZClass.createInObjectManager(...)"> <dtml-call "manage_addFolder(id='testFolder')">  <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['PythonMethod']"> <dtml-call "manage_addPythonMethod( this(), 'testMethod', 'Test Method', 'self', 'pass' )"> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> Every pemutation I have tried gives the same result: an Unauthorized exception. Adding the Python Method by hand works fine, as does adding one using the following URL: http://localhost/sandbox/myInstance/manage_addProduct/ PythonMethod/manage_addPythonMethod?id=foo&title=bar&... If there is one thing I am weak on in Zope, it's permissions. I am assuming there is something wrong with the way mine are set up, but I have no clue what the correct solution is. I haven't had the time to try another Python product, but I am guessing that this problem is not specific to Python Methods; I believe I would run into this same situation trying to add an instance of any python product to my ZClass instance. Anyone have an idea? --Jeff --- Jeff K. Hoffman 704.849.0731 x108 Chief Technology Officer mailto:jeff.hoffman@goingv.com Going Virtual, L.L.C. http://www.goingv.com/

Have you seen Steve Alexander's reply to my post? I'm relatively new to Zope development (though with a fair amount of experience in Python), so I'd welcome the insights that others more experienced than me would bring.

Re: [Zope] DTML question
by Luke Tymowski 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

Hello, > <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues(['DTML Document'])" size=3 sort=id> should > work, no? No. This works on my production server, which runs Zope 2.1.14. <dtml-with history> <dtml-with 2000> <dtml-in "objectValues(['DTML Document'])" size=3 sort=title reverse> <dtml-var sequence-item><br> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> But if I try that same code on 2.2b2 it doesn't work. If the subfolder is down 1, then size=1 works, but size=2 returns everything. If the subfolder is down 2, then size=1 works, size=2 works, but size=3 returns everything. By down 2 I mean like the example code above (folder I want to query is two levels down). Maybe it's a 2.2 bug? Luke
