RE: [Zope] Zope periodically shutting down....
by Meilicke, Scott 29 Aug '01

Look in the log file to see what happened last - it's ./var/Z2.log You can also start zope with the -D flag, and keep a console running to watch the debug information. Yet another option is to use the set_stupid_log option - that may not be right - search the archives for something similar.

Has anyone else experienced Zope shutting down automatically? I can't seem to trace when it happens, but it seems to just shut down after a few hours.....Is there a log file kept anywhere? Thanks!

Looking for Zope application
by David Scott Lee 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

I'm looking for an job search/matching application that will run under Zope, similar in nature to what monster.com provides. We want a website that allows students to fill out a profile, upload their resume, search for employers etc., and likewise allows employers to fill out a profile and search for students that meet their qualifications, all the while keeping the information confidential. A reporting capability for various statistics is also a need. Is there any such application available for Zope? Thanks. Scott Lee Engineering Computer Network Purdue University

I stuffed and uploaded a new release (b2) of my GUI frontended release of Zope 2.4 for MacOSX. It is a complete Zope install, with python and a Mac frontend, plus ZEO, the Zope Book HTML, and some of the more popular packages preinstalled. You can download it here: screenshots: http://homepage.mac.com/dshaw/ download: http://homepage.mac.com/osx/ This is the first release worthy of really using, so let me know you you think! - David Shaw

String contains only digits
by Kerekes Lajos 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

Hi! I have a form variable (select/option) which gives a number, or value "A". I have to check the value, is it contains only digits. I use in python script "if container.REQUEST.state in '0123456789'". Is there any other way to check? Because string object has neither "isdecimal", "isdigit" nor "isnumeric" method. I use zope 2.3.3 under Linux. Thanks: Lajos Kerekes

Two newbie questions: port numbers, multi-user systems
by Fred Riley 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

That's a subject line that probably gets regulars groaning, I'll bet ;-) Anyway, I've just joined this list, after being convinced of the merits of Zope to both run websites and query ODBC databases. I've installed Zope on a NT box I run and have been experimenting with it and reading TFM (or rather, the Zope Book). It works fine, and I really like the interface and the heap of Zope features, but there are two things I need to sort out before I fully commit myself to using Zope: Port number in URLs ------------------- Because Zope runs off port 8080, this port number appears in URLs (eg http://language.hull.ac.uk:8080/) Like everyone else, I'd like this not to happen, but the solution in the Zope FAQ to FAQ 2.4 isn't suitable because the NT box is also running other web services (such as ASP scripts to query databases, eg as called from http://www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk/events/eventsdb.html) and if I change the port to 80 in the z2.py then of course Zope 'takes over' the server from IIS. I ran this problem past a web developers list, and the two main solutions suggested were: 1. Install Apache on the NT box, move IIS to another port, and set up a proxy in the Apache config. 2. Set up a second IP address for the NT box and host Zope on that. Neither of these are suitable (I won't bore everyone with the reasons), and it seems a bit strange to me that there isn't a simpler solution for integrating IIS with Zope. Does anyone have any suggestions? Zope on multi-user systems -------------------------- Here at Hull the main campus system is a multi-user Unix environment. I'm meeting the sysadmin of this tomorrow to talk about ships and sails and sealing wax, and I want to ask him to install Zope on the system so that I can run Zope-powered websites in ordinary user accounts. (I particularly want to move www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk, which runs from a user account, to Zope as the content's getting unmanageable.) Is it feasible to run such websites from user accounts? And what do I need to ask him to do, both in terms of installation and setting up Zope sites in user accounts? TIA for any help. I really do want to use Zope, both for my sake to reduce mine and my colleague's workload, and to support Open Source software in general. So far, though, I've spent over a day on the port number thing alone, and I'm worrying that I might have to spend more time learning and configuring Zope than I save.

Modifying DateTime.py to include additional timezones
by Richard Ettema 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

Hi, Can someone explain the layout/use of the timezone lists in DateTime.py or point me in the direction of a how-to etc. I would like to understand the layout of the _zlst and _zmap listings, and how to add new locations to it including Daylight Savings. What do these relate to and stand for... 'UT','BST','MEST','SST','FST','WADT','EADT','NZDT', 'WET','WAT','AT','AST','NT','IDLW','CET','MET'...etc Some of them I can recognise like New Zealand Std Time (NZST) but others aren't. Is there some reason these aren't provided with a full description like the list above it with... 'Brazil/Acre','Brazil/DeNoronha','Brazil/East', 'Brazil/West','Canada/Atlantic'....etc The same question for the Australian timezones... 'aest':'GMT+1000', 'aedt':'GMT+1100', 'aus eastern standard time':'GMT+1000', 'sydney standard time':'GMT+1000'...etc Thanks for any help. Richard

zope as NT Service
by Montagne, Michael 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

I'm having no luck getting zope to run as a service. I can install Zope 2.4 no problem. When it asks me if I want to run it as a service, I answer "Yes I do". Then everything appears fine. But http://localhost:8080/manage does not find any servers and upon stopping and restarting the service I get an error that says "Error 0193: %1 is not a valid Windows NT application". I had this problem with 2.3 also and now that I want my program on a real server, it should run as a service. What could the solution be? -mjm

RE: [Zope] ZClass views and manage_ methods

>I havent messed with external classes (since I am new to SQL), but they >sound interesting and ...hmmm, safer. > >Can you include all the methods and images that you get with ObjectManager? >any good source of info on this? Pretty sure you can do anything with external classes/methods that you can do with TTW ZClasses and methods, plus a whole lot more. Using a RDBMS is really a different way of looking at things. I have more experience using relational databases, so it feels more familiar and safer, but I do feel drawn to the whole object database paradigm. I am sure that for some applications it will be much cleaner, faster and easier. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
