zope not authorizing
by Rajil Saraswat 02 Jul '00

i installed the zope-pcgi rpm file. the default user is superuser and password is 123. but when i give these values in the prompt, the software does not authorize me. i also changed the access file in /var/zope using zpasswd but still the login is not working. earlier i was using zserver and it was working fine, is there some problem with pcgi, is there some changes to be made. i did all the changes as given on the rpm page at zope.org(httpd file change) however when i goto http://localhost/static the zope screen is not displayed. but if i goto http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi then the welcome screen comes. but i am not able to authorize myself at the auth. prompt. using pcgi what is the default object url, will it be http://localhost/Zope.cgi/sample. if this is the case can we change it to http://localhost/sample. basically i want the zope root to be located on http://localhost instead of obscure url like http://localhost:8080 or http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi. This was the reason i wanted to try out pcgi. can we do this. please help!!

"lambda" is not a function but a keyword in Python expressions. It, therefore, is not required in "_" to be used. Dieter

You can do anything programmatically, that you can do manually through the management screen. Just look at the DTML code that generates the respective form. In your case (adding a role), the DTML source is "AccessControl/access.dtml". The analysis of the code shows you, that the method "manage_defined_roles" does what you want. It gets 2 keyword parameters: "role=your_role" and "submit='Add Role'". Dieter

I do not like "mailman" at all. At least as used by the Zope lists, its digest mode is utterly broken. Dieter

You can run the "stop" script that is in the directory you installed zope into. In your case it will be: /home/jonano/Zope-2.1.6-src/stop -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

[Q] corrupt PDF Files?
by Veikko Wuensche 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Hi, _sometimes_ ;-) I get data corruption with PDF files. After uploading a PDF file I get from the ZServer a file which is shorter than the first one. It's corrupt. The served file does not start with '%PDF-1.2^M...' for a PDF file. The original file length in this case was 482376 bytes and ZServer was sending me 458752 bytes. It should be the same length! :-) The content type ist always 'application/pdf' I've done the same steps frequently: - file upload: PDF Files - control the value of Content Type (application/pdf) Sometimes the PDF file ist corrupt - sometimes not! ;-) The same seems to appear with *.ps.gz files. We are using Zope 2.1.6 Any hint? The working PDF File (German: LinuxTag 2000-07-01 Stuttgart "Performante WWW-Umgebungen mit Zope") you can find under: http://www.lightwerk.de/zope/ Regards, Veikko -- Veikko Wünsche vw(a)lightwerk.de http://www.lightwerk.de/

Single content tree, 3 'look-n-feel's...
by Jon Franz 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Hello, I'm currently preparing to build a large corporate website with Zope. the corporation in question ants a dell-ish sort of interface and content tree in which users will choose on the opening pages what Sort of user they are (home-user, small business, or corporate) - after choosing the type of user they are, the look-n-feel of the site will be geared towards their specific type, but, the content will be shared across all of the different styles. that is to say, I might have a products dtml document, but it will need to look different for each type of user. I know this can be done easily with some simple session variables and some logic in my standard_html_header and footer, but I was wondering if there was an easier (to manage - different people will be in charge of each look-in-feel) way...? I saw an announcement on "transparent" folders - would that be of any use in this situation?

When does Zope become single-threaded?
by Hung Jung Lu 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Hi, I seem to remember that in the old days, if one uses Zope with PCGI, it would only run single-threaded. Is the correct? Or is Zope now always multi-threaded? (I know one can control the number of threads via the -t option in the start script.) regards, Hung Jung ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
