Zope build script
by Oleg Broytmann 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Hello! I've published a simple shell script I use to compile Zope from sources and configure it a bit: http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/build-zope/ The simple script does: -- compiles *.py files to *.pyc -- runs python w_pcgi.py -- runs python zpasswd.py access -- generates root.sh - a script to run under root to complete the installation; root.sh set up right ownership and permissions in the installation tree You can easily customize it to your needs.

tree expand_all
by Tom Scheidt 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Hi All, How can you get a tree to be expanded automatically upon initially loading the page? I did see that the documentation is wrong on the Zope.org site in that expand-all should be expand_all. I've seen other people ask this question, but haven't found any responses. Thanks.

Re: GUF Permission Problem
by Mario Premke 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Thanks a lot Brad it also works for me ... Only now I have a new and extraordinary bizarre problem: The folder I want to protect has GUF, openticket and index.html. When I log in I see index.html *but* while downloading index.html he suddenly says Authorization failed. To go into openticket I have to type login and password again as I have when going back to index.html. there is obviously something wrong with the permissions, but why then starts Zope to show half of index.html ? It stops showing an image in the <dtml-var standard_html_header> which is defined in the root folder - but it can be shown in the openticket folder! Any hints ???

zope+fastcgi: zope listening on multiple ports for fastcgi?
by Joseph Wayne Norton 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Is there any restriction to having zope listen on multiple ports for fastcgi? I would like to have more than 1 apache server talking to the same zope server. I'm not sure if this is a restriction or not for fastcgi or if it is possible to simply setup another port(s) for fastcgi? regards, - joe n. -- Joseph Norton norton(a)alum.mit.edu +81-3-3822-6936 2-10-7 Tabata, Kita-ku, Tokyo 114-0014, Japan (〒114-0014 東京都北区田端２丁目10-7)

Zope 2.2.0 and UserDB-1.2.0 conflict
by Tony McDonald 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Hi, I've just set up a new 2.2 system and moved my Data.fs file across and started it up. That is, I *haven't* moved all my tar.gz products and rebuilt them. I have built MySQL (ZMySQLDA-1-1-3) , LocalFS-0.9.3 , TinyTableB2, and PythonMethod-0.1.7 (with do_XXX set to '1', ie devil methods) It seems to work ok, but when I try to click 'properties' in a UserDB object from the management screen, I get the following;  [snipped]  This is 2.2.0 built from source on Solaris 2.5 and Python 1.5.2 Any thoughts would be mightily appreciated. tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

Apache+mod_SSL+FastCGI+ZServer
by Jasper 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

I am fairly new to zope and evaluating its use for a medium traffic commercial site where security is a requirement. After reading through a lot of opinions and info on the zope site (http://www.zope.org) I came to the conclusion that to get scalability and security, Apache + mod_SSL + FastCGI + ZServer was the way to go. There was also mention of a zope product (called MX-Crypto?) which allowed SSL with ZServer without requiring Apache, but it looked to me to be in early development (I did not look at this closely). I set up the mod_SSL + FastCGI, etc and tried it out. Details on the installation, problems encountered, etc may be found in http://www.zope.org/Members/jasperh/SSL_FastCGI_setup In particular, I had trouble getting the zope management screens to work when SSL was compiled in. Any comments as to whether the Apache+mod_SSL+FastCGI+ZServer idea is good, bad or ugly for the intended use would be much appreciated. jasper (jasperh at mweb dot co dot za)

Thanks Holger I used the source distribution and it worked. Why is this not part of the binary distribution?

Creating Factory Objects (Products)
by Firestar 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Hi, I'm following the tutorial in Zope Content Manager's Guide. I created an 'InstantSite' product, with 2 DTML methods, Designer and Builder. I followed most of the instructions, and managed to see the product in my 'Add List'. But when i tried to add it into my other folders, the Builder page(which would be called after Designer) could not be accessed. The error is: "Resource not found Sorry, the requested Zope resource does not exist. Check the URL and try again." followed by the tracebacks... In fact, the tutorial doesn't seem comprehensive and contain errors(e.g. screenshots different from description). Could anyone give this newbie some pointers here? TIA. regards, Firestar ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
