RE: [Zope] stability of zope?
by Meilicke, Scott 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

As an alternate view, I have had great success running zope 2.3.x and 2.4.x on NT 4, sp6a. It has never crashed for the 1.5 years it has been running. The usage is light, and internal only (Intranet), so take this with a grain of salt. I'm launching it officially next week, so we'll see what song I'm singing next Month... :) I'm guessing that core zope is stable on either platform, but external/add-on programs may have issues on one platform or another. Just do your testing before going live.

I have mostly run on linux and I don't have any problems with that. The tests I did with windows just didn't go well. I have heard that is because of a bug in the windows vm. 2) Some python products are written pretty badly so you need to take a product and hammer it before you deploy it to see what problems it has. However I consider this to be a normal thing since you want to test every solution pretty throughly before you deploy it. With these caveats I find zope just doesn't crash or stop receiving data. I have run it both on its own and behind apache with equal success. Typical uptimes would be around 10 to 30 days because you have to restart the server to add a new product or apply security updates. Neither of those things are really a problem since you can just plan for a time to do it and 2 mins downtime planned is not bad.

not safe for unpickling
by kosh＠aesaeion.com 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

I am getting this error on a site and I would like to find what objects or object types are causing it so that I can fix the problem. Functions should not be pickled and I am not sure how someone did get some pickled. It was originally a zope 2.3.3 installation that was upgraded. 2001-12-11T17:59:19 ERROR(200) ZODB Couldn't load state for '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00E\x94' Traceback (innermost last): File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 544, in setstate UnpicklingError: <function HTML at 0x8615e14> is not safe for unpickling Designing the webpages of tomorrow http://webme-eng.com Designing the MMORPGS of tomorrow http://worldforge.org

Referencing a dtml method in a subfolder of the parent folder
by Igor Leturia 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Hi! Maybe this is a very simple question, but I can't find information about it anywhere. In a dtml method I want to include a dtml method which is in another subfolder of the parent folder. So if I have a folder called 'folder', which has two subfolders called 'subfolder1' and 'subfolder2', and each has a dtml method called 'method1' and 'method2', how can I include 'method2' in 'method1'? I've tried '<dtml-var ../subfolder2/method2>', but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance, Igor Leturia

ZCVSFolder woes
by Rob Miller 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Hi, Is anyone out there using ZCVSFolder to help manage Zope development? I've played with it a bit, and I'd love to start using it on the project that I'm currently managing, but I'm finding it problematic... What I've found is that I can add CVS Folder objects with no trouble, and that, at first, I can enter the CVS Folder objects and perform CVS operations as expected. If I wait a while, though, and then try to browse into the CVS Folder using the management interface again, I find that my http requests never get a response. I'll click on the "CVS" object, the browser shows me that it's working, but I never get into the CVS Folder... If I log into the server and run ./stop from the correct directory, I'll find that, for every time a CVS Folder access failed, one of the Zope python processes didn't die. That is, if I tried unsuccessfully 3 times to browse into the CVS Folder, then there will be 3 python processes left over that should have been killed by the ./stop command. If I kill these processes by hand, then I can restart the server, and the CVS Folders will work as expected again... for a little while. Also note that I can stop Zope from responding altogether if I allow the number of failed CVS Folder accesses to equal the NUMBER_OF_THREADS that Zope is allowed to spawn. I'm running Zope-2.4.2 on FreeBSD-4.4, and I'm using ZCVSFolder-0.2.5. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to make it stop happening? I like the ZCVSFolder interface, and being able to use it would GREATLY facilitate our development process. Thanks! -r

Apache Rewrites for VHM : was (Help!)
by Trevor Toenjes 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Suresh, With eVHM, you can have Apache rewrite all requests to Zope's root. VHM then takes over redirecting to sub-folders inside Zope. try http://www.zope.org/Members/sfm/SiteAccessEnhanced for a nice Management tab of your redirects. I have forwarded your email to the list in hopes that someone can help with your Apache rewrites. Feel free to post your questions to the list directly at zope(a)zope.org.

Squishdot absolute_url question
by Richard Hewison 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

We've been busy customising Squishdot, and we are currently looking at the emails sent out to posters of articles. As it stands, Squishdot sends an email to the poster when a reply to their message has been posted (assuming that they have enabled the option in the AddPosting form to receive such email notifications). At the foot of the email is a link to an option to turn off notifications for further messages relating to the reply. However, what we want is for an option to turn off the notification for replies to the original message, not the replies. <dtml-var absolute_url> is for the reply. How can we tell it to do this for the original message? We tried <dtml_var aq_parent.absolute_url> and that came up with an 'unslicable object' error. Thanks in advance,

newbie q: howto get easy edit functionality on a database table for endusers, with input-restrictions?
by rene＠xs4all.nl 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Hi. I'm trying to run Zope on FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE, with little success so far. :( What I need to know most is if Zope can support a database application with a sort of meta-definition of the database structure, so I can easily create definitions of forms (that are to be filled in by an end-user) in form-configuration files. In those form-configuration files, field and input-restrictions should be listed for any given table/view of/to the database. After that I need an engine to parse those form-configuration files into an HTML window that actually allows editing of the database content.. In short, I need a replacement for Microsoft Access ;-) Question: can zope do this, and if so, where is it documented? PS a reporting engine (a-la M$ Access) would come in handy very much, too.
