Re: concerning Xron with DA

From: "Nicholas Lo" <nicklo(a)siliconcreation.com> > I just wonder if Xron works with ZSQL Methods. > I know that ZSQL Methods only works with the request thread. > Thanks. I can think of no reason Xron would not work with ZSQL Methods; but I haven't tried it, because I have no SQL in my applications. Xron's dispatcher thread does not directly run scheduled methods; it uses Client.py to fabricate a request. So the scheduled method runs in a request thread, just as an ordinary client request. Scheduled methods are a subclass of DTML Method, so the scheduled method would have to call your ZSQL Method. There is currently no way to pass parameters to the request. If the ZSQL Method requires parameters, the scheduled method must supply them from its context. Would you like to be the first to try it out and report back to the mail list? Or has someone else already tried this? -- Loren

third party hosting options wihtout long running process
by Bob Horvath 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Hi all, I hope this hasn't been asked to death before, but out of lots of related information that I did find, I could not find a direct answer to my question. I have been using and really enjoying Zope on my Debian system at home, but would like to start using it for a couple of web sites that I maintain. The problem is, they are hosted at providers that do not have Zope, and currently have no plans to do it. Both of the providers allow pretty much any CGI you can write, except that they don't allow long runing processes. Where does this leave me? I have seen where Zope can be run as a CGI, but is unbearably slow. Is unbearable truly unbearable? I have gleaned that they are several parts of Zope, not all of which needs to be used. In particular, so far I have really gotten into the acquisition concept, as it is similar to something I was already doing with python CGIs and heavy abuse of soft links. Can just ZPublisher (this is what does this right?), be run as a CGI? Of course, my other option is to move my sites. I have a freezope account at nipltd, but I assuming they don't want people doing redirections ala redirection.net to freezope accounts. I have seen other hosting companies, but most seemed rather expensive, especially in light that I would not be giving up my current ISP for a couple of unrelated to Zope reasons. Basixally, if I am limited to CGI, what parts of Zope can I use effectively?

Where can i download older versions of Zope. I need Zope 2.1.6. on solaris. I previously did my project on RH6.2 / Zope 2.1.6 and i have this week to get my project work on Zope 2.2.0 with solaris. It doesn't work (it doesn't pass authentication, when i try post data to another dtml document) and i'm in hurry to test my project on Solaris, so please tell me quickly where can i download older Zopes. look also : 33. Is this a bug? Posting data to another DTML document (Jarkko Veijalainen) on Zope digest, Vol 1 #934 jarkkov

Invalid Date-Time String
by Oliver Frommel 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

hello, I have a ZClass called "thema" with some date properties to change creation/ modification dates independent of bobobase_modification_time. So I try to set one date property called "date1" equal to the current time of creation: <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['RadioObjects']"> <dtml-with "thema.createInObjectManager(ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'), REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('date1', ZopeTime())"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.prop.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> Unfortunately I am getting an "Invalid Date-Time String" error when calling the manage_editProperties. I tried some possible solutions from the mailing lists but failed so far, e.g. using ZopeTime or ZopeTime().DateTime() Any help? thanks Oliver

jcNTUserFolder questions
by Jean Jordaan 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Hi all I'm trying out jcNTUserFolder-0.0.7.zip now. It's looking great, but it looks like I've run across some gotchas. 1. I copied the entire installation from one computer to another:: > robocopy \\corpcomms\ZopeCorpComms \\jean\programs\ZopeCorpComms /MIR (which under W2K does an exact mirror of the whole thing). Now starting it (using 'start.bat') and attempting to authenticate gets me:: AttributeError Sorry, a Zope error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): File C:\PROGRA~1\ZOPECO~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File C:\PROGRA~1\ZOPECO~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 179, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\ZOPECO~1\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File C:\PROGRA~1\ZOPECO~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 151, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\ZOPECO~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\BaseRequest.py, line 428, in traverse File C:\PROGRA~1\ZOPECO~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\BaseRequest.py, line 504, in old_validation (Object: broken) AttributeError: __getitem__ Would this have anything to do with jcNTUserFolder? It worked fine before. 2. I don't understand how sub-NTUserFolders work. The following text (that you get when adding an NTUserFolder in a subfolder) doesn't enlighten me. What does "undesirable (although possible)" mean? Default behavior is to acquire user settings from higher user folders note: this setting helps with nesting NT User folders. It interferes with local roles. If you plan to use local roles, you should uncheck this box. It is then undesirable (although possible) to have nested NT User Folders. What puzzles me is this: in the root I have a user 'zopeman' with Manager rights. When I create an NTUserFolder in '/docs', zopeman doesn't have rights to access it. Neither does the superuser. ?? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Sofware -- Zope 2.1.6 on W2K

ProxyPass trouble
by Stephan Goeldi 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

I use Zope with Apache 1.3.12 via ProxyPass. This is a nice workaround, because I don't have to struggle with the Rewrite stuff. My httpd.conf settings are the following: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerName www.leimental.net ProxyPass / http://1.2.3.4:8080/leimental.net/ ProxyPassReverse / http://1.2.3.4:8080/leimental.net/ ProxyPass /cgi-bin/ http://1.2.3.4:80/cgi-bin/ ProxyPassReverse /cgi-bin/ http://1.2.3.4:80/cgi-bin/ ProxyPass /manage/ http://1.2.3.4:8080/manage/ ProxyPassReverse /manage/ http://1.2.3.4:8080/manage/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://1.2.3.4:8080/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://1.2.3.4:8080/p_ </VirtualHost> TIA -goe- ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
