Zope hangs!
by Bo M. Maryniuck 04 Dec '02

Hi. I'm stuck to find why my Zope server sometimes hangs. STUPID_LOG_FILE sais me nothing (just no any error), Zope processes/instances are sleeping, host pings fine, but if you try to connect to the Zope with a simple browser -- just timeout and "bye-bye". What I need to switch on to debug this annoyance? After Zope restart (in console) all works fine. -- Regards, Bogdan "[In 'Doctor' mode], I spent a good ten minutes telling Emacs what I thought of it.

Hello, Do a search on the mailing list archive, there is discussion on this since years. But most probably you are executing code which doesn't return. Noting is in the log because the log is written after the request completion, and there is maybe a file flush problem also. When all your thread are frozen it's finished, there is no way to access zope, even the admin interface. Running zope behind apache helps (don't ask me why...).

[ANN] CMFCollectorNG 0.10 released
by Andreas Jung 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

The very first public release of CMFCollectorNG 0.10 is now available. CMFCollectorNG is a Zope/CMF-based bugtracking system. It is based on the former CMFCollector written by Ken Manheimer of Zope Corporation. This release is a good starting point for further community development (e.g. internationalized versions (the current UI is in German *only*)). What's new? - major code cleanup and complete new skins - very generic ticket properties management - enhanced tracker configuration through the web - extend usage of the CMF memberdata tool to store user informations and user preferences - rewritten transcript to keep issue related informations in an abstract format to produce different output (HTML, plain text for email notifications) - tickets can have references to other tickets (also across CMFCollectorNG instances) - dedicated views for uploaded files and references to other tickets - better roles management: * *TrackerAdmin* manage the tracker * *Supporters* can file tickets, create followups, upload files, add references to other tickets * *Reporters* can file new tickets and upload files and references - preliminary support for XML export - much more minor improvements (too much to mention them :-) ) Wikipage: http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/CMFCollectorNG/Wiki/FrontPage Sourceforge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmfcollectorng --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andreas Jung http://www.andreas-jung.com - - EMail: andreas at andreas-jung.com - - "Life is too short to (re)write parsers" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not that simple, there are other variables involved, although I don't know which exactly. Cuold ver verison of Apache and method (RewriteRule vs ProxyPass maybe?). See for example: www.torped.se, which has been Zope behind Apache for years. Still sais it's Apache. Best Regards Lennart Regebro Torped Strategi och Kommunikation AB

Custom login form in standard Zope ?
by Garikoitz Araolaza 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

Hi! I'm trying to set up a custom login form (as login_form in CMF) trying to avoid the pop-up login window when requesting any non public resource in the Zope site. Can it be done without any extra authentication product? Where is the API, so that I can call an authentication method? Thanks!

zope user numbers
by Ben Avery 04 Dec '02

hi zopistas, I've been wondering how many people use Zope out there. It's not just idle curiosity, a (large) number would help a lot of people, myself included, persuade their heads of department that Zope would be a good thing to adopt, and not just another flash-in-the-pan Open Source product that goes away in a couple of years, leaving an expensive maintenance legacy. Just a ballpark figure would be great. I realise this is hard to determine, as it's a free download from numerous sites. and even if the downloads could be clocked and summed from the various main sources, that wouldn't really give an indication of how many people are actally using it in the industry. And not everyone using Zope will post on this board, although a count of the distinct email addresses from the archives would be useful. Well, here's an idea: one thing that people do buy, regarding Zope is books. If we could add up the sales figures from amazon.com (or contact the publishers if the figures aren't publicly available) for the main popular zope books, and compare it to the main popular books of another product on a similar technical level, where the population *is* known, say a commercial product - then maybe that ballpark figure could be thrown. Sure a lot use just the online docs, but ditto for other products. Does anyone know the user numbers for anything like, say, Websphere? ...or is that just a silly idea? :) Ben Avery ben(a)thesite.org _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Hiding behind Apache - how to get true physical path?
by Skip Montanaro 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

I'm working on a Zope server which is sitting behind Apache, so instead of http://somehost/foo/bar/baz URLs take this form: http://somehost/Zope/foo/bar/baz Inside a Python script I can ask for the path to an object like so: context.foo.getPhysicalPath() which returns ('', 'foo') Is there a way to get it to return ('', 'Zope', 'foo') without knowing "/Zope" explicitly? Thanks, -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com http://www.mojam.com/ http://www.musi-cal.com/

Hi, I have uploaded some files into a zope folder. I want to edit them through web folders (editing through webdav). But I am getting only a read only copy of that and not able to save my changes to the desired http location. Is there any way by which I can succeed in my requirement? Please help if you have some idea on how to go about. Regards, Paul.
