Help -> Problem with NT Service,External Method,COM
by S S 29 Mar '02

Hi there, I have this strange problem cropping up in Zope. I have no idea why its happening even after hours of trying to figure it out. Heres the problem : I have developed a Python code to open Microsoft Word through the win32com package and produce a document depending on the user's parameters and some predecided formatting. Here's a snippet followd by my problem description : import sys sys.coinit_flags=0 COINIT_FREETHREADED=0 import os import string import pythoncom import win32com from win32com.client import Dispatch def run_pyth_worddoc_gen_module(rootdir,reqtitle,reqno,date,responsibleperson,signature,datasubmitted,vermessage,components=None): pythoncom.CoInitializeEx(COINIT_FREETHREADED) myword=None try: logfile=open(rootdir + '\\verification_generator.log','a') logfile.write('\nstarting..') myword=None myword = win32com.client.Dispatch('Word.Application') logfile.write('\nstarting..0') myword.Visible = 0 logfile.write('\nstarting..1') mydoc = myword.Documents.Add(Template=rootdir + '\\python_verification_project1.dot') logfile.write('\nopened word') selection = myword.Selection i=selection.MoveRight(Unit=1,Count=12) i=selection.TypeText(Text=reqtitle) i=selection.MoveDown(Unit=5, Count=2) I wrote the code for it and ran it from Python and had no problems generating the Word document. The logfile which i use also shows no problems. Now,I tried calling this method from Zope,by importing it as an External Method. And I couldnt go beyond this line : myword = win32com.client.Dispatch('Word.Application') My logfile shows only "starting..", ie. the line before the above code is called. I have Zope running as an NT Service.I also have another version of Python installed(2.1) apart from the Python which comes with Zope. It gets weirder. After stopping the NT Service and running it from the startup.bat file(throws up the COmmand prompt window) and running the External Method from ZOpe,the code works like a dream. There seems to be some problem when I run Zope as a service,it stops at the Dispatch command. On viewing the Windows Task Manager,WINWORD(exe for Word) throws up when the code is called,but when the code works(when Im running it straight from Python or running it from Zope started from the start.bat file),the WINWORD process seems to take memory(13megs) and when finished it exits cleanly. However when running from the Zope started by the NT Service, as mentioned it hangs at the Dispatch line,but the Task Manager shows that WINWORD process has started but its memory usage is static at 2.884 MB. The error stacktrace is as follows when Zope runs as an NT Service: Traceback (innermost last): File E:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File E:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 114, in publish File E:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 158, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: verification) File E:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 98, in publish File E:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 88, in mapply (Object: run_pyth_worddoc_gen_module) File E:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 39, in call_object (Object: run_pyth_worddoc_gen_module) File E:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\lib\python\Products\ExternalMethod\ExternalMethod.py, line 202, in __call__ (Object: run_pyth_worddoc_gen_module) File E:\Program Files\WebSite\Extensions\run_pyth_worddoc_gen_module.py, line 24, in run_pyth_worddoc_gen_module File e:\program files\Python21\win32com\client\__init__.py, line 92, in Dispatch File e:\program files\Python21\win32com\client\dynamic.py, line 81, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName File e:\program files\Python21\win32com\client\dynamic.py, line 72, in _GetGoodDispatch com_error: (see above) Any ideas people?.

Xron Problem - please help...
by Juergen R. Plasser / Hexagon 29 Mar '02

Hi! I have some problems with getting Xron running on my linux box /w Zope 2.5.1b1/Python 2.1.2. I have already seen many workarounds in the archive for Xron on linux, but I can't get it running. The log file reports an authorization problem: ------ 2002-03-28T13:40:01 PROBLEM(100) Products.Xron.Loggerr Trigger event: http://195.170.91.63:8181/Schedule/minolta_alert Trigger time: 2002/03/28 14:40:00 GMT+1 Failed to trigger event.

FYI: DevGuide (BackTalk) code updated
by Chris McDonough 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I have updated the code that runs Zope.org's Developer's Guide (http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZDG) with new code that does Python and DTML color syntax highlighting (special thanks to Juergen Hermann and Adam Kendall). It also now allows for multiline comments so folks can put code into comments without it getting terribly messed up. I hope to put the Zope Book into this system soon. If you want the code that allows you to do this, you can get it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/backtalk/ . You can also add BackTalk Books and BackTalk Documents in your accounts on Zope.org. Enjoy! - C

Weird problem with ZCatalog
by Jean-François Ménard 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I have a weird problem with my python product. - My product name is "Intranet" - I have an instance of this product, in root, with the id "intranet" - Inside it, I have a ZCatalog instance. - Inside the instance, I have a lot of CatalogAware objects, but the Catalog don't index them! - If I rename the instance "intranet" to something else, then the Catalog is OK! So, it seems that there is a conflict between the name of my product, the name of my instance, and the Catalog index engine...!!! The obvious solution would be to rename my instance, but I can't for admin reasons... How could I debug this problem??? Thanks!!!

login to pages
by Sohaila Roberts 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Hi, I'm fairly new to zope and my searches for information on my question has come up fairly empty handed. We are running zope for some university professors to put their course notes and other course related materials online. Some of the professors wish to have their content only viewable if the student logs in (not the way the professor logs in to update/add content). I know this is easy enough to do with a perl script or something like that, but I was just curious if zope had a way to do it as well. Thanks Sohaila

Filter HTML - ZCatalog Indexing
by eric.n.dunn＠bankofamerica.com 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I'm trying to filter HTML tags and other code from my Catalog when searching in my ZOPE sites. I have reviewed and tried both operations from the below listed links: http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/CatalogSupport.html http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/47ba74c812dbc5dd802568… Can anyone tell me or reference a new Catalog as stated: "version of the Catalog on it's way which will allow you to put keywords or charaters in a special place that will include them" Can anyone tell me of a coded workaround or implementation. Thanks Eric

Help on hardware configuration for high traffic site
by Carlos de la Guardia 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Hello, please help me out here. We have a site with the following characteristics: - Zope 2.5.0, Python 2.1.2, Linux 2.4.7 - Heavily dynamic content, mostly using ZPT with python scripts, Python products and Zcatalog (65,000 documents with a full text index). No SQL databases. - 500,000 hits daily average, 45,000 pageviews, peaks at 40-50 requests per second. - We have Squid in front, but since the site will have user accounts, many pages which display user specific information cannot be cached. Currently the site is running on a single PC with 1GB RAM and two processors. It is doing fine with Squid at the front, but the thing is we are about to enable the user account features and don't think the performance will be adequate. We are thinking of adding another machine or two behind a switch and use ZEO to handle Zope calls. Any recommendations or ideas on how to do this (or not) and what kind of machines to use will be very appreciated. Thanks a lot, Carlos de la Guardia Aldea Systems

Can Zope CMI sort objects by 2 or more criteria
by Dmitry Litovchenko 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: MD5 Can Zope CMI sort objects by 2 or more criteria? e.g. I would like to place folders first, then methods and then DTML documents and in all groups items should be sorted A-Z. Currently I can find only 1-criterium sorting obviously by clicking object list column header. - -- Dmitry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQDVAwUAPKNSt/JfaWAEJLRDAQGYUwX/SgOxAb4Sf/Cv+NwJ3auE28/pV3wYbMPi vFWQZ0GW9WoKMqlHFDUE43EL3pRwO9cLmDa44CT93IWDw86eKOqffO1YNopJvU1A rbacvrILbGPp/BMU4dwSdaKHrbzraOAk4tOMLMgd44/n8zJiicWMAc1QrLze1rla rVQw7Avdsjt91r6sQNwQJ6qO1pd21suB8COSya9mFqg+TROAzrFFTCIZqOaNYmtp UcrZdxMNqyWDAzEpi0USTIK2UoXtdvkG =G4nz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
