acl_user problem
by Webmaster 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

I just installed a fresh 2.2b3 on x86 Linux. I ran the install, fixed the permissions on my var directory (nobody:users) and started Zope. I logged in as the superuser and created a new acl_user (zopeAdmin) with a "Manager" role. When I try and log in as "zopeAdmin" it just keeps prompting me for the password and won't let me in as that user or any other user (except the superuser). I'm I missing something painfully obvious?

Re: [Zope] Unquoting a string.

Hi, Yes, I had tried that, but, I had some little a syntax problem that was causing zope to throw an error, and I thought it was because it didn't like the use of dtml-var in an sql call. From the advice here, and in a second response, I looked more closely at the error message and discovered the syntax error. : ( Thanks for helping out here. ciao! greg.

Rewrite rules in .htaccess.
by Otto Hammersmith 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

Hello, Has anyone manage to get the appropriate Rewrite rules to make zope.cgi the root when they live in .htaccess? The problem I was hitting had to do with getting the rewrite rule applied in an infinite loop, since .htaccess is parsed so late in the Apache processing. Thanks. -Otto.

Standard footer changed in tutorial?
by Frank Isaacs 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

I'm working on the tutorial in version 2.2b3 (I know, it's a beta, caveat emptor...) I did lesson 4, discussing the footer and putting the e-mail link to "webmaster" in. Then I went to lesson 5, and the footer appeared to have been changed back to the default footer (the zope gif image and link to zope.org) Does the tutorial reset it? If not, how did it happen? Thanks in advance - -Frank PS: And how about the code for the zope link? It seems to be invisible, but it would be nice to be able to include it if you modify the standard footer. (I suppose I could copy and paste from a rendered html page, but... isn't it somewhere in the object hierarchy?)

Re: [Zope] Z SQL Method

Postgresql is a true object relational database which includes the ability to define transactions etc., MySQL isn't a true RDBMS. If you are serious about the back-end and your application includes the ability to update the database by more than one user concurrently then PostgreSQL is the way to go. It's also Open Source. It's easy to connect to Postgresql using the ZPyGreSQLDA which you can find on zope.org at the end of the downloads pages.

Problem with _[xyz]
by Christian Zagrodnick 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

Hi all, shouldn't <dtml-var xyz> and <dtml-var "_['xyz']"> return the same result? Well - I don't know why but only the 1st is working. (top.German.ActualPages is a folder; tThisIs... is a dtml-method) 1: <dtml-with "top.German.ActualPages"> <dtml-var tThisIsTheXYZDocument> </dtml-with> 2: <dtml-with "_['top.German.ActualPages']"> <dtml-var tThisIsTheXYZDocument> </dtml-with> Of course I want to replace the 'top.German.ActualPages' with a variable... but since it doesn't work with a hardcoded string it'll not work with a variable. Any hint? Thanks -- Christian Zagrodnick - Progressive Media Production http://www.promp.de/ Die Haftung ist auf das Gesellschaftsvermoegen beschraenkt.

ANNOUNCE ZEO 0.2.1
by Jim Fulton 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

A new release of Zope Enterprise Objects (ZEO) is available at http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO. ZEO turns the Zope object system into a distributed architecture, allowing multiple processors, machines, and networks to act as one website. This release fixes two bugs in release 0.2: - ZEO clients didn't work properly (effectively at all) on Solaris or Windows NT. - An error in the handling of the distributed transaction lock could cause a client to stop writing and eventually hang if two clients tried to commit a transaction at the same time. - Extra (harmless) messages were sent from the server when invalidating objects during a commit. - New protocols (especially 'loadSerial'), used for looking at DTML historical versions, were not implemented.

Unquoting a string.
by Gregory Haley 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

Hi, I am trying to pass a column id through a ZMySQL method call. The thing looks like this: UPDATE venapoll SET <dtml-sqlvar resp type=string> = last_insert_id(+1) WHERE poll_num = 3; where resp is a value passed in by a dtml method and can have the value of resp0, resp1, resp3, etc. These are the names of columns. Zope is blowing chuncks, because the parsed call is actually: SET 'resp1' = last_insert_id(+1) and ZMySQL needs to have the value passed in as SET resp1 = . . . (i.e., without the quotes). Has anyone had a problem with this? TIA. ciao! greg. Gregory Haley venaca.com

Number of zope processes on Linux and OpenBSD
by Ragnar Beer 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

Howdy! I have a question concerning the number of running zope processes: I used to run Zope under Linux and there was always more than a handful of zope processes running. Now I switched to OpenBSD and there is only one. How comes? I guess the more zope processes I have running the more requests I can satisfy? --Ragnar
