[FAQTS] ZOPE Knowledge Base Update -- July 25th, 2000
by Fiona Czuczman 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

Hi Guys, The latest entries to be entered into http://zope.faqts.com regards, Fiona Czuczman Including: - Where can I get performance statistics for Zope? - Using Zope 2.2 and jcNTUserFolder 0.0.7. I installed a top level NTUserFolder and now I cannot login as superuser (or any user for that matter). - How can I use a personal Python object in Zope? - I log on as a superuser, when I try and make a new folder I get a Zope Error, why? ## New Entries ################################################# ------------------------------------------------------------- Where can I get performance statistics for Zope? http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/5006 ------------------------------------------------------------- Fiona Czuczman J. Atwood Well, if you "ARE" anal about numbers try http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/zope_benchmarks/benchmarks.html which has a lot of information. Zope is certainly not going to compare to any static webserver in terms of speed so I would not be upset when you see that it does not. It does, however, come out much faster than other things like Apache Tomcat. ------------------------------------------------------------- Using Zope 2.2 and jcNTUserFolder 0.0.7. I installed a top level NTUserFolder and now I cannot login as superuser (or any user for that matter). http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/5005 ------------------------------------------------------------- Fiona Czuczman Erik Myllymaki Problem: I am using Zope 2.2 and jcNTUserFolder 0.0.7. I just installed a top level NTUserFolder and now I cannot login as superuser (or any user for that matter). First of all, how do I get back into my Zope management pages and second, what is wrong with jcNTUserFOlder (or what did I do wrong?)? I am running Zope standalone. My root user is mapped to a valid administrator of my local NT Domain. Solution: OK, so I got in by changing the ntuserfolder.py file in my installation: def authenticate(self, password, request): """ try to authenticate the user """ # <HACK> return 1 # </HACK> . . . ------------------------------------------------------------- How can I use a personal Python object in Zope? How can I display (in html page) the results from a Python function? http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/5007 ------------------------------------------------------------- Fiona Czuczman Holger Lehmann Get the product PythonMethod from zope.org (http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/PythonMethod) install an use it :-) e.g.: <dtml-var standard-header> <dtml-var myPythonScriptThatProducesHTMLOutput> <dtml-var standard-footer> ## Edited Entries ############################################## ------------------------------------------------------------- I'm running ZOPE with administrator privileges, when I try to create any objects I get an error message. I log on as a superuser, when I try and make a new folder I get a Zope Error, why? http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/4968 ------------------------------------------------------------- Fiona Czuczman waldemar,Chris McDonough Error Message: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: SuperCannotOwn Error Value: Objects cannot be owned by the superuser Answer: You cannot add, copy or move objects as the superuser, but you can add users to a user folder and change permissions. But there should be no permissions that need changing. Make sure that you give the user the 'Manager' role when you add a new user (while logged in as superuser).

Meta Type Registry
by Andrew Kenneth Milton 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

Is there a Product Builders meta-type registry somewhere? I can see things getting messed up in the near future as the number of products proliferates and meta-types start to clash. I've already seen weird interactions with products PSQL Input Wizard and ZNolk when both are installed I only got PSQL Input Wizard despite picking ZNolk from the drop down... At least if developers can register their meta-types then common meta-types won't clash for different products (I can see stuff like 'news item' and 'link' clashing all the time). Perhaps limit registration to developers who have published their product, I know this probably places an additional burden on the already heavily under seige developers, but I think some controls are going to be needed. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm(a)theinternet.com.au|

Re: Sybase in Remote Machine
by Herbert Kwong 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

Hi Holger, Thanks for your help, Anothny Baxter has provided a way to do it and works (and of course, thanks to Anthony too). It was all because the DA of MySQL and Sybase does not work the same. Sybase handles remote databases in their own interfaces file. My fault in not very familiar with Sybase. Regards, Herbert

Re: Sybase in Remote Machine
by Holger Lehmann 25 Jul '00

Hi Herbert, I have no clues regarding sybase, sorry. I am using a MySQL database which *can* run on the same or on a different host. But have you checked if there is a new Sybase DA on zope.org ? Furthermore, have you mailed this to the maintainer ? He/she might be interested in that you want to connect to a remote host. Maybe you will get what you want if you trigger the maintainter ... :-)) Can you switch to a different database ? If so, why not use MySQL or PostgreSQL ? Both are free to use (well MySQL costs a couple of bucks for commercial purposes) and quite well supported. - Holger Am Mon, 24 Jul 2000 schrieb herbert(a)siliconcreation.com: > Hello, > > By using the SybaseDAv2.00b interface to input the database connection > in the database@hostname format, I got this error: Invalid connection > string. > > And I checked the readme of the DA, it says "Ensure that you have > Sybase installed on your machine,.." and "Set the environment variable > ... to the Sybase installation directory on your local machine."

Can not import XML export
by Marcin Kasperski 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

[ A few days ago I started working with zope and I am really impressed. But now the first problem... ] I created simple folder containing a few DTML documents and methods, a couple of images and ZCatalog. Then I exported it using XML format. Now I try to import it into another Zope installation and I get an error suggesting some problem with XML tags. Error Type: TypeError Error Value: illegal argument type for built-in operation Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_importObject) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_importObject) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 495, in manage_importObject (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZODB/ExportImport.py, line 216, in importFile File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZODB/ExportImport.py, line 316, in importXML File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/xml/xyap.py, line 57, in unknown_endtag File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/xml/ppml.py, line 748, in save_item TypeError: (see above) On both machines I used exactly the same Zope version (2.2.0) and Python version (1.5.2). So: - isn't it a bug? - can I do anything to import at least some parts of this file (say - by editing it manually in some way) - I would really like to import something today (tomorrow I will try usual zope export) Regards -- Marcin.Kasperski | You can even cancel and be left with a working system @softax.com.pl | reflecting investment to date.

RE: [Zope] Zope performance ratios
by Jarkko Veijalainen 25 Jul '00

-----Original Message----- From: andres(a)corrada.com [mailto:andres@corrada.com] Sent: 24. heinäkuuta 2000 20:54 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Zope performance ratios I'm interested in getting performance statistics for Zope. I'm scouring the mailing lists for previous messages but I would also be interested in anything else people may want to say about it. For example, what is the record for average web hits from a Zope site? Does someone have a feel for useful ratios like: "a Zope page takes, on average, twice as a static page to serve"? I'm not interested in being anal about the numbers, seat of the pants estimates are what I'm looking for. ------------------------------------------------------ Andres Corrada-Emmanuel Email: andres(a)corrada.com ------------------------------------------------------
