You're doing it the difficult way - just use -lclntsh for the link line. If you download the recent update to DCOracle, you should find it builds out of the box.

> This is REALLY cool. I can't manage to login though. oh thanks, ok, that might be because you didn't put in a tagline or it had punctuation that sql doesn't like. If not that is bad. I will try and sort this out it is a big bug! thanks for the feedback.

Hi, is there a way to backup and restore a Zope application so I can move it from a coputer to another? I have seen in the utility directory but I found only "load_site.py". Thanks. -- <jk> ___________________________________________________ http://space.tin.it/scuola/jkhaldi FreeBSD ~ The Power to Serve

Strange Zope behavior/Instability
by Rob Sporleder 06 Jun '00

06 Jun '00

For reasons unknown we lost http connectivity to our Zope server three times last night. I've checked the http logs and, as I suspected, didn't find anything unusual around the time we lost connectivity. The Python processes are still running and everything looks normal except for the connectivity problem. Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this? I haven't found anything. Here are some specifics about our setup... version of python: 1.5.2 operating system: Linux 2.2.12-20smp (Redhat 6.1) services running on machine: MySQL 2 instances of Zope Python machine specifics: CPU: 0.04 MEM: 31M of 512M Swap: 528688K free Disk Space: GB's available on all partitions Hardware: 598 Mhz Pentium III, 4 17.4 GB SCSI hard disks version of Zope: 2.1.4 Thanks, Rob

dtml-tree help
by Pete Kazmier 06 Jun '00

06 Jun '00

Hi, I think this is a simle question but I've been struggling for the last two days trying to get it to work. I have a heirarchy of folders (really a custom container class) and files (really a custom object). I want to emulate the Window's Explorer interface, left side of page occupied with a tree of the entire hierarchy, and the right side contains the details. Is this possible? Is it also possible to synchronize both views, for example, if the user decides to navigate with the right half of the screen, the left half would update accordingly? Does anyone have any pointers for me or links or examples? One other question, how do I refer to a specific object in a python? If /status is a folder, how would I refer to the /status folder from any number of subfolders within? Thanks in advance!!

www.mysite.com/Members/<someone>
by Ian Sparks 06 Jun '00

06 Jun '00

Hi, I want to produce a home-page on my site using a URL like : http://www.zope.org/Members/Fred I'm a little confused as to how I would go about this in a dynamic way where I would pull the contents of the page out of a database. A non-database way would be to : /Members (folder) /Fred (sub-folder or Document) /Jim (sub-folder or Document) /Jane (sub-folder or Document) But I want to be able to generate the /Members/Fred page dynamically. The SQLMethod part I can do, its the structuring of the objects in the heriarchy which baffles me. Ideally I'd like to have a "Members" folder in /, as this reduces the clutter in /, but then how do I pick up the "Fred" part of the URL once I have traversed into the members folder and apply it as part of a SQLMethod? - Ian Sparks.

Products, Factories, Permissions!!
by Frances Keegan 06 Jun '00

06 Jun '00

I have a problem regarding permissions (I think). I am using version 2.1.4. I have a set-up like the one below: STAFF_FOLDER_HOME - ONE named user with role as manager for this entire folder and its contents. (permitted to do all normal managerial tasks). Anonymous can View, View Contents Information, Search ZCatalogue & Use Database Methods. STAFF_MEMBER1_FOLDER - As above STAFF_MEMBER2_FOLDER - As Above STAFF_MEMBER3_FOLDER - As Above I have created a template using designer, builder etc., and have added this to the AddList. The template itself works ok; the problem is when the template is used within these folders. The manager of any of the above folders is able to choose the Instant Site from the AddList, and fill in all the details in the form but when the form is submitted it asks for your password again. When you enter your password, even though correct, it tells you that authorisation has failed and to try again. Eventually you are told that you are not authorised to manage_changeProperties, even though these have been specified in the Permissions tab as something the manager is allowed to do. Please can anyone help - I have being going round in circles for what seems like forever. Thanks, Frances

highly available Zope thread; our hanging problem
by Brian Takashi Hooper 06 Jun '00

06 Jun '00

Hi all - I was looking at the discussion from April that was posted on the HighlyAvailableZope Wiki about problems with Zope hanging; we had a similar situation here at Digital Garage which seemed to be alleviated by changing the zombie_timeout to be really short (like, 1 minute). Before changing the zombie_timeout, the server would periodically hang and not give any responses to requests, sometimes recovering after a short time. At this point, I don't have anything more than just an empirical observation - changing this parameter seemed to help our server. Has anyone else noticed anything similar, or can explain this observation? Thanks, --Brian Hooper
