Installed/compiled ParsedXML Installed TAL and PageTemplates Fired up Zope (using my "normal" account) running on port 8080 **Everything worked fine** I then changed the port Zope was running on to port 81 chown -R nobody var chgrp -R nobody var Fired up Zope (using "root") **PageTemplates _did not_ work. Then, went to <zope>/lib/python/Products chown -R nobody PageTemplates chgrp -R nobody PageTemplates Restarted Zope **Everything worked fine** If you want, I could try narrowing down the exact PageTemplate file(s) which needs "nobody" as the group/owner. Hope this helps. Andrew

ParsedXML errors
by Schmidt, Allen J. 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

After a new install of ParsedXML version 1.0 on Win98 Zope 2.3.1 --- I am getting errors when trying to create a new ParsedXML instance from the Product List. Error Type: NameError Error Value: nodeType All I can do is give it an ID and then Add and Test produces this error. The object is added, though, but produces the same errors when trying to edit it. Any ideas? Thanks...

Problem with SSL + IE?
by Zachery Bir 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Anyone having problems with SSL and IE under Zope? IE 5 for the Mac and IE < 5.5 for Windows won't show SSL pages. I've tracked the problem to a particular algorithm for encrypting the session that when using Non-MS product + MS product results in errors. It's a DLL problem. But IE works with some SSL sites, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Apache + mod_ssl + ProxyPass for doing Zope front end. Any help would be appreciated.

ANN: Zope Page Templates 1.0.0 beta 1
by Evan Simpson 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

The first beta release of ZPT is ready! Come read about them at http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ZPT, and download from http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/ZPT. These should be especially interesting for teams of Zope developers in which the programming and page/site design tasks are handled by separate people. Cheers, Evan @ digicool

why is zope returning my pages as octet/stream?
by Gerrie Roos 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

I've created a form to fill in and submit...and then Netscape pops up the 'save as' dialog, not knowing the returned file is HTML...When I save the file and check its contents, its perfect. Why is zope publishing this page as octet/stream?

sequence-item: how do I use it in an expr?
by Gerrie Roos 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

I know I ask a lot of silly questions, at least I'm learning...In the following snippet 'build' is a list of integers. Now I want to do 'prBuildInsertMethod' with all the values in 'build'. To the untrained eye, it seems like this should work. But Zope can't find variable 'sequence'...why? How do I do it then? <dtml-in builds> <dtml-call expr="prBuildInsertMethod(buildNo=sequence-item)"> </dtml-in>

Re: ZPT _v_blocks error

From: "Peter Simmons" <pete(a)bcmpweb.com> > What user do the ZPT files need to be owned by? The same user who owns all Zope source code; This could be your account, or a dedicated "Zope" user account. Zope should run either as this user or as one who has only read and execute permission on the source files. Of course, this user needs write permission on the Zope "var" directory and its contents. If you launch Zope as "root", it changes to user "nobody" unless you have configured it otherwise, but it is better not to launch as "root" in the first place. Cheers, Evan @ digicool

Unclear about factory 'Add list name'
by Oliver Bleutgen 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Can someone tell me what's the relation between 'Add list name" in the factory of the zclass and the MetaType-field in the "basic" tab of the zclass? Pointer to documentation would be okay, I couldn't find one. All I know is the if the two are different that cut&paste won't work anymore. The documentation in zope's online help didn't mention this fact "Add list name: The name that will appear on the in the product add list. In the case of ZClasses this is normally the ZClass's meta-type." and "Meta type: The name of the ZClass as it appears in the product add list." Is there a use in the possibility to use another "Add list name" in the factory? cheers, oliver

Thanks for the quick response. I think I found the problem! Finger trouble. >>> "Peter Bengtsson" <peter(a)grenna.net> 04/04/2001 11:53:51 >>> You might be thinking about the dtml-sqlvar, right? the sqlvar is just there to help you create a long text string, the SQL statement.
