November 2002 - Zope

Introduction and Thank You...
by Timothy Burt 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I am gleefully impressed with the rapid and accurate replies to the many quieries I see on this list. Including mine. Despite my inaccuracies, my questions were answered professionally, and by more than one person. Thank You. Very Sincerely! My INTRODUCTION I have alot of years in application development and systems development. About 20 years. Mostly in UNIX. I have been using PHP for a couple of years, and have been looking for the right CMS to adopt. I guess my desire to see it done in PHP kept me from seeing Zope. But because the XML support in PHP is weak, and very well developed in Zope, I decided to give Zope a try. I am new to Python, and also pretty new to OOP. So my questions will be pretty stupid in the beginning. I will try to be more careful going forward. For now, I can bring my knowledge of UNIX systems and general programming to contribute. Eventually, I hope to be one of the fine contributors I see on this list today. Perhaps even a product developer some day. What I have seen in Zope, thus far, is fantastic. I think I would like to hang around for a long time to come. So please bear with me as I ask stupid questions for the next few weeks. And thank you again for the prompt answers to the many questions this list handles. Mine, and every one else too. -- -------------------- Timothy Burt General Manager Arbor Group LLC Los Angeles, Calif. USA

New Install
by Bill Etheredge 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I have installed the latest version (2.6.0) on a Linux Red Hat 8.0 system. This is a new install, not an upgrade. When I attempt to start Zope, I get the following response: [betheredge@LINUXTX10 zope260]$ ./start ------ 2002-11-04T11:28:48 INFO(0) zdaemon Started subprocess: pid 15682 ------ 2002-11-04T11:29:02 INFO(0) ZODB Opening database for mounting: '143845552_1036429220.299444 ' ------ 2002-11-04T11:29:02 INFO(0) ZODB Mounted database '143845552_1036429220.299444' at /temp_fol der ------ 2002-11-04T11:29:03 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Mon Nov 4 11:29:03 2002 Hostname: LINUXTX10 Port: 8080 ------ 2002-11-04T11:29:03 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Mon Nov 4 11:29:03 2002 Hostname: LINUXTX10 Port: 8021 ------ 2002-11-04T11:29:03 INFO(0) ZServer PCGI Server started at Mon Nov 4 11:29:03 2002 Unix socket: /usr/local/zope/zope260/var/pcgi.soc Nothing happens after this last entry is displayed.

I cannot get to it via a browser. Any suggestions of where to go from here since I see no error messages or obvious problems?

Maybe the archive of this mailing list or zope-db(a)zope.org contain more useful information. Cheers, Clemens

dtml-if Newbie Question
by Alfredo P. Ricafort 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Hi, >From the 'Zope Book' the statement <dtml-if variable> means that 'if the..variable does not exist, then this condition is false'. I found that this is not true. When I tried using dtml-if to a non-existent variable, I got a 'key error'. So how do I check if the variable does not exist ? Tks. AL
