Goddamn pcgi - problems with authentication... no ZSyncer or other fun tidbits
by Heimo Laukkanen 15 Sep '02

This is just a rant about how I tried to save some money and got a hosting from anon Zope hosting company - that offered cgi's and allowed me to run Zope behind apache. First of all I had terrible problems with the http basic auth, since it did not work at all. I mean not at all. I thougth I was so clever when I uploaded an old Data.fs that had cookie crumbler set so I could authenticate myself with cookies via form. Yeah. Well. Everything is sweet - expect that I can't do anything really fun. Like upload content to my site via webdav, since I have only that pcgi connection or ftp to the server - but not to the Zope itself. Then as a last thing I tried to use ZSyncer to upload content from my own machine to the hosted Zope but no. The same authentication problem bites me again. I feel like kicking myself. Saving money in hosting also ties my hands from doing advanced and fun things that I would have liked to do. Damn me. Damn Apache. Damn pcgi. ,-) If anyone has any ideas how to get over that pcgi-problem, that would be appreciated. Otherwise - remember that the Zope hosting costs a little bit more for a reason. -huima

Could someone explain how to integrate Zope into IIS (so I'm not running the Zope Web Server in addition to IIS). I would greatly appreciate any help with this! Thanks in advance, Nicholas F.

base href
by Dan Jacobs 15 Sep '02

Hi All, I am trying to get one of my zope sites to comply with W3c as valid HTML. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem possible in zope, something todo with the way zope insets its base href= e.g. <base href="http://www.zope.org/" /> See here http://makeashorterlink.com/?B28241AC1 for an example of this. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Dan

Trouble installing CMF 1.3 on win32 Zope 2.5.1
by Adam Getchell 15 Sep '02

15 Sep '02

Hello all, I'm running Zope 2.5.1 on Windows 2000. I've downloaded and unpacked the CMF folder into the products directory (see directory listing below), several times now (deleting previous attempts). I used PowerArchiver, so I didn't have to uncheck RL/LF for WinZip. C:\DEVEL\lib\python\Products\CMF-1.3>dir Volume in drive C has no label.

thin client questions...
by Ali Mualla 15 Sep '02

15 Sep '02

Hi all I just discovered Zope yesterday, when I was searching for a thin-client server software. I hope some of you can help me. I have a workstation at home to which I want to connect a small terminal computer (a thin client). The client does not have any drive at all, so it boots from network. What I am asking is, what does the workstation (which will act as the terminal server) need to get the terminal running? The workstation runs WinME/XPprofessional, I don't want to buy any software, and hoping for something that is free (open source). I don't know what exactly zope does, I know its an application server, but can it fit my needs? Regards, Ali Mualla

[ANN] TextIndexNG 1.05 Beta 1 released
by Andreas Jung 14 Sep '02

14 Sep '02

After a longer period of time, I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG 1.05 beta1 TextIndexNG is a pluggable index for the ZCatalog that enhances the fulltext indexing capabilities of Zope by providing the following features: * support for document converters (HTML, PDF, WinWord, PowerPoint, Postscript). Custom converters can be easily added * stemmer support for 12 languages * optional support for right truncation * similarity search (soundex, metaphone support) (for english) * NEAR search * phrase search * pluggable query parsers (two parsers included) * stop words support * new test tab for interactive testing * faster than Zopes old TextIndex * full unicode support (new) * normalization support (new) * new similarity algorithm: double metaphone (new) * new TXNGSplitter * new vocabulary browser Changes: * added full wildcard support for CLLexicon and StandardLexicon * rewrote Stemmer module (now fully unicode compliant) * unittests code cleanup * query evaluation refactored * Parser API changed to return a parse tree instead of a Python expression * new parse tree evaluator added * PyQueryParser: now accepts a minus sign as prefix of a word to indicate NOT. Searching for "foo -bar" will be recognized as "foo AND NOT bar". In addition the syntax for "ANDNOT" has been changed to "AND NOT". * stopword handling through registry * added double metaphone algorithm for similarity search * Splitter handling changed: The new TXNGSplitter has been added. It supports both strings and unicode strings and supercedes the functionalities of all other existing splitters for Zope. TXNGSplitter is the only splitter that will be used by TextIndexNG. The "index numbers" options has been removed both from the splitter and the ZMI. In addition the splitter now accepts an optional set of characters that are recognized to be valid inside words. This allows you to index common words like "C++" or "python-22.lib" when you specify "+.-" as valid word characters. * Python C extensions compile now under Windows (Binary distribution will be available for Windows) * normalizer support added * full unicode support * the add form for TextIndexNG now uses the registries to obtain informations about registered componenents instead of hardcoded values. * fixed problem with changed API of the Interface packages (backport from Zope 3 to Zope 2.6) * added vocabulary browser * lots of code cleanup * bug fixes... * add statistics tab to ZMI * fixed serious bug in TXNGSplitter due to missing encoding parameter * minor ZMI adjustments * using converters no longer raises an exception when a converter could not be found for the mime-type of a document Requirements: * Zope 2.5 or Zope CVS trunk checkout Documentation: * http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/TextIndexNG/wiki Download: * http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/TextIndexNG/ or * http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50052 --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andreas Jung http://www.andreas-jung.com - - EMail: andreas at andreas-jung.com - - "Life is too short to (re)write parsers" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
