Mod_Proxy
by Paul T. McNally 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

I have everything set so that I can pass requests for Zope from Apache and but am stuck here: "Now we add our inverse proxy directives, within the main <Directory> context: ProxyPass /Zope/ http://fightclub.org:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /Zope/ http://fightclub.org:8080/" I am running apache 1.3.*. I don't know where in httpd.conf to place the appropriate line quoted above.What is confusing me is in the 'main' part, there are many sections labelled <Directory>. -- Paul T.

Thanks. Sorry, my mistake: <tal:x replace="structure here/standard_html_template"/> But METAL is what you want ;-) Chris

Erratci behaviour
by Chetan Kumar 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

Hi all I am using Zope 2.5.1 and CMF-1.3b2. With the pages created using ZPT and python scripts I find that the behaviour of the site is erratic. The day I announced the site to a few people to test complaints flowed in. Following is the funny situation I am in: I can access the site from my Linux machine using mozilla. At the same moment I cannot do the same from the adjoining machine (running Win2k and using Mozilla/Netscape6/IE5.5 !!!!) I generally call a python script from the ZPT which calls a ZSQL method and sends back results in a dictionary after some processing. Nothing complicated there. The error message points to the first python script in the page. I have done some dirty-debugging (C-printf style with commenting out lines.) No clues. I have checked all normal things like cookie/proxy settings. This is getting very serious as the site has to be made available to a larger group pretty soon. Any comments ? Regards, Chetan

Netscape/JavaScript/Zope
by Shilpa Shenvi 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

We are transitioning from our Apache server to Zope 2.5. While on Apache, each of our press releases had a header done in JavaScript (this header was a server side include). On Zope, I have taken the code from the server side include and placed it in standard_html_header; in turn, standard_html_header gets called whenever a press release is served. While the header loads fine on IE, I can neither see the header nor the body of the document from Netscape. (In Netscape, I can still see the footer). Is there anything I can do so that both Netscape and IE will server the entire page? (We are using Netscape 4.7). Thank you, Shilpa

RE: [ZODB-Dev] Zope and ZODB database connections
by MKinsley＠empirecorp.org 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. I guess it was alot of information to digest in one message. I will heed your suggestion. What I'm trying to do is hold a connection open to our ZODB database and use that open connnection throughout a user's web session. When the user is done, we will close it. Should I be trying to do this with my own code or is this something Zope can manage for me? How do I accomplish this? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Withers [mailto:chrisw@nipltd.com] Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 6:04 AM To: MKinsley(a)empirecorp.org Cc: zodb-dev(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [ZODB-Dev] Zope and ZODB database connections MKinsley(a)empirecorp.org wrote: > Hello everyone, See reply on other list, I think you need to take a step back and explain what you're trying to do, rather than how to fix your solution, which appears to be rather a strange one ;-) Chris PS: Posts of this size won't get read by most people :-(

Blark CMF product, anyone using it?
by Jeff Sasmor 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

Hello, and sorry for X-posting, but I wanted to reach anyone who might be using the Blark Weblog/Newslog product for CMF. I'm trying to decide whether or not to spend time updating it for Zope 2.5.x and CMF 1.3, but I don't think that a lot of people use this product anymore. If you use it, please email me directly at the address below. I won't see your answer if you reply to this listserv. Comments are welcome, but not required -- I am just trying to get an idea of how many people actually use this product. Thanks! #-------------------------------- Jeff Sasmor jeff(a)sasmor.com

connect to multiple mysql db's question
by Greg Conway 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

Hi all, Just a quickie... In order for me to organise my sites a little better, I'd like to seperate out some of my Databases. Can I run a query in Zope combined across two different MySQL connectors? My best guess so far is to create two seperate queries, each using one Database, then a third query to join these two queries.... somehow!! I'm hoping there's an easier way!!

TAL vs. DTML default example text
by Patrick Price 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

If someone can tell me how to do the same thing as <dtml-var standard_html_template> using TAL, I'd appreciated it. What is confusing is that adding a fresh DTML Doc has the standard_page header and footer examples put into it, yet a fresh ZPTemplate has a different example entirely. Apologies for the newbie spamming. -Patrick Price
