install_problems_on_FreeBSD
by George Osvald 09 Aug '00

09 Aug '00

Please help! Install problems on FreeBSD I've installed ZOPE several times before on different systems (win98, NT, Linux) for testing purposes. Always logged in as 'root' I never encountered any problems. Recently I finally decided to upgrade my web-site to a ZOPE-Site and that's when the trouble started. Without the root privilege I had experienced every single problem possible. But finally I managed to build both python and ZOPE. The OS is FreeBSD 4.0-stable and I used both the binary and source package. I how ever can not start neither of them. All I get is a bunch of error messages. I also would like to use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse configuration. Do I use w_pcgi.py or wo_pcgi.py to build ZOPE. I think since I will not be using pcgi it should be the latter. I am including the junk I got after trying to start ZOPE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Change line 212 of lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py from this: h.connect((self.host, self.port)) to this: h.connect(self.host, self.port) I believe this is already fixed in Zope CVS. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

XML: manage_add is always method
by Gijs Reulen 09 Aug '00

09 Aug '00

Hi I am doing some experiments with XML (using xmlrpc.exe; see /Members/greulen :-) and it turns out manage_addDMTLMethod and manage_addDocument BOTH add a METHOD ?! Therefore it is not possible to add a Document with the XML interface ? Are this kind of API calls not used by Zope itself ? If I add a Document with the Zope browser interface then it works ok. If this is truely a bug, where could I report these XML related bugs ? Gijs Reulen

Auto-Commit in Zope is coupled to *one* thread serving the request: It works by registering with the "transaction" associated with the current thread. At the end of a request the transaction of the current thread is commited (or aborted, if an error occured). If registration is done in a different thread, the actions are not commited/aborted at the end of the request. Why do you want to make your life more difficult by splitting a Zope thread into several? Dieter

RE: [Zope] substring search on zcatalog textindex
by Chris McDonough 09 Aug '00

If I remember correctly, partial searching was implemented against text indexes. I have no idea how to use it, however, as AFAIK it was never documented.

FTP editing in version?
by Marcin Kasperski 09 Aug '00

09 Aug '00

Is it in any way possible to edit via FTP within a version? FTP editing is very nice (I love XEmacs and EFS, I hate netscape editing control). But I do not see any way to edit file via FTP within version. Do I miss something? -- Serwis nie tylko mieszkaniowy: http://www.mk.w.pl | | Teams do not make linear progress through analysis.

Installing Zope on a TRU64 platform
by Alexandru Cucereanu 09 Aug '00

09 Aug '00

Dear Sirs, I have downloaded the source of zope 2.2.0 and I have tried to install it on a DEC 2100 A 500 MPR machine. The operating system is Tru64 v. 4.04 E (formerly Digital Unix). I followed the instructions from INSTALL.txt file so I entered the following command line python w_pcgi.py. First of all I want to report that I had to make some changes in libz.c and TimeStamp.c since the C compiler (cc) reports some type mismatches. For example see calls to PyString_FromStringAndSize(output,..) I had to explicitly type cast output as follows (char *)output. Other "error" (in fact a warning )was reported when compiling xmlparse.c Finally, NO USERNAME AND PASSWORD were returned on my screen at the end, just the word Done! the file access was created and I succeeded to start zope using the start file generated and using my browser it was possible to connect on port 8080 to zope. Two errors: - when accessing Quick start the zope process ends due to a stack overflow - it is impossible to connect through the management interface because no matter what user ands password is provided, the authentication process fails(The Zserver is started on port 8080). I tried to change ther superuser name and password using ther zpasswd.py script but without succes. I want to know if there is anyone who has installed succesfully zope on a Tru64 v. 404. E platform. Thank you in advance for any kind of assistance (compilation and installation hints). Please reply to all(a)ccir.ro Best regards Alexandru Cucereanu
