Please, no HTML posts. I crashed Netscape Mail twice trying to reply. Thanks. But to answer, exporting and importing works just fine if you want to copy parts of an existing zope site. It even works recursively, so if you want to export an entire folder of stuff (or Squishdot site) with subfolders, properties, etc., just go to its enclosing folder's "Import/Export" management tab, and follow the directions for exporting. This will create a .zexp file. To import into the new Data.fs file, put the .zexp file you have created into your [where zope is installed]/import folder on your hard drive. Then open the new site's management interface for zope and go to the same Import/Export tab and use the Import part. If you have 2 Data.fs files and only 1 zope, you can switch back and forth between them (stopping and restarting Zope in between so terrible things do not happen) by moving one and then the other into the appropriate var directory to do exporting, or importing as you want. Copies of the original files will come in handy if you confuse easily like me. -- Jim Washington >Well, I meant that I have some products w/ data setup in the new .fs.

I have a Data.fs file from a previous instal of Zope. How can import parts of that data base to a current data.fs? I have a product setup in the old .fs that I want to use in the new....like a squishdot for instance.

Netscape has a menu item "view image" in the context menu for images. Alternatively, you can directly open the image's URL. Opening the image alone gives you more information about the problem: you prabably will get a standard Zope error page with problem description and traceback. Maybe, you encountered some of the image problems that have been discussed in Zope or Zope-dev about 2 weeks ago. Dieter

PCGI application Question?
by kwan 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

Hi: In the way of PCGI work. PCGI Wrapper sends request to PCGI Application throught INET port. This is what mention on ZAG document. However, it also has a note said that the PCGI Wrapper is capable of launching the PCGI application, if it is not currently running My problem is, how to found out that the PCGI application is not running and which cause the PCGI Wrapper to launch it instead? My situation is like this: I setup Zope communicate with IIS. However, after I use the scripts/zope.pcgi the var/pcgi.pid got changed. As the ZAG document mention above, it looks like after the Zope server startup... somehow, the PCGI Application (is it pcgi_publisher.py?) dead/shutdown. Which makes PCGI Wrapper (pcgi-wrapper.exe?) to launch its own one. Hence, a new proccess with different PID. Since it is a different proccess, it is not allow to touch the Database file and cause me get the error message "Could not lock the database file" Am I right on this? If this is the situation, how do I check to make sure the PCGI Application actually dead or not response after Zope start up? What can I do to check what cause it to close? Thanks very much for your time Kwan

problem with PTK and LoginManager
by Tim Lynch 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

Hi, I can't seem to get PTK to install. When I put both PTKBase and PTKDemo in the Products directory, PTKBase is OK, but PTKDemo is 'broken'. The traceback is: Traceback (innermost last): File "E:\I-10\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 387, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "E:\I-10\lib\python\Products\PTKDemo\__init__.py", line 3, in ? import Portal, ZODBMember, SQLMember, PersistentUserSource File "E:\I-10\lib\python\Products\PTKDemo\Portal.py", line 5, in ? from Products import LoginManager ImportError: No module named LoginManager LoginManager is installed in Products and is listed as OK in the Control Panel/Products display. I just did a complete re-install of Zope 2.1.4 (no other products at this time); I grabbed PTK from the CVS tree, the version of LoginManager I'm using is what came with the PTK. I'm running under WindowsNT with zope installed as a service. Haven't tried things on the Linux side of my machine as I need to get this stuff working under NT as a deliverable. Any ideas why Portal.py can't find LoginManager? I've tried editing the line in Portal.py from from Products import LoginManager to from Products.LoginManager import LoginManager but that didn't seem to work Any help much appreciated.

Living dangerously - lost objects re-appear after database packing
by Paul Browning 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

Hi - I don't recall any mention of this sort of experience before so I thought I'd share it and would be interested in reactions. Yesterday around 18:30 (BST) two Linux boxes of mine which both run Zope re-booted - as they sit next to each other on the same electrical supply I've assuming there was some sort of spike. Neither are setup to re-start Zope services automatically - these are not production servers. They are also not backed up .... So I did the usual manual restart and, on one, got a bit of a shock. It went like this: 1. Login to box running RH 5.2 2. su 3. Start Zope 2.1.6 that has been running fine for months. 4. Open browser to check most recent stuff that I've developed looks OK - it's not there. 5. Go to management screen - newer folders are missing. 6. Go to Undo. Most recent transaction Apr 19. Uh-oh. 7. Decide to get out quick. Shutdown via CP. 8. Data.fs shown as last modified 6 June. 9. Copied Data.fs (having no regular back-ups) 10. Restarted Zope 11. Packed database (shrinks from 36MB to 9MB). 12. Breathe sigh of relief as missing folders re-appear. Is this normal, doctor?
