Linux distributions for Zope Servers
by Dennis Allison 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

The morning email brought a final announcement from RedHat announcing (again) that they will no longer be supplying a Linux distribution (they will be shipping their "Enterprise Edition" which has a longer release cycle and a much higher price tag). RH9 will be the last of the breed. I'm not excited about converting to the RH Enterprise distribution and so am beginning to shop around for a different, a possibly better, distribution--something stable, well integrated, complete, and with a rational release cycle, stable SMP support, and support for AMD Athlon and AMD-64 processors. There are a number of candidate--Suse, Mandrake, Debian, etc. Anyone care to document their experiences, good and bad? One of the nicest features of the RedHat system was/is the RedHat network which makes it possible to upgrade off the net quickly and easily. While it's not really a requirement, I would miss it if an equivalent service were not available.

RE: [Zope] Flash in zope
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 05 Nov '03

To the first two questions: Yes and Yes ! There is a FlashFile Product somewhere on Zope.org you might want to look at. As for the third question, I do it using the PARAM element under the OBJECT that embeds the movie in the page. There might be other ways, but this works fine for me. But then I'm not very knowledgeable in Flash, if by "variables" something more advanced, then I don't know (I'm guessing under CF5 or CFMX , flash integration is conciderable).

Re: zsyncer 0.5beta error (Paul Winkler)

>> I haven't seen this one... What version of Plone, and what exactly >> were you looking at when you got the error? the root of the plone >> site? sorry for the late answer. I was away from work... it works now!!!! I have installed plone version 1.0.5 with the default settings on the two machines, after that I added the folder ZSyncer (this time I installed version 0.5.0-pre12 instead of version beta10) to the directory ....plone/Zope/lib/python/Products/ I also used the patch at http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/#bct_sec_5.3 to be able to sync plone folders as well I restarted plone and added on the plone root a ZSyncer Object. here (ZSyncer object) I added the name and password of the admin to be able to access the data of the other machine. I also choosed the same types to be synced on both machines. On one machine I set up the destination and started the sync process: worked fine! the rekursive search mode is very usefull for me, since I want to set up a cronjob, that sycronizes the two machines (unfortunately people are adding content on both machines, thats why I have to run the cronjob on both machines). perl script: my plan is to set up the cmd manage_sync via http, get the answer and update the wanted items again via http. Paul, thanks a lot for your great job on Zsyncer. BTW: Paul, when to you plan to release version 0.5 of zsyncer? cheers, david.

Hi, I am a third year Officer Cadet studying at the Royal Military College of Science Shrivenham at Cranfield. I am doing my dissertation on Knowledge Based Management Systems and I am looking into the different types of software available for data, information and knowledge management at the moment. I was wondering if you could help me as I am trying to find out the following: 1:- What tasks it can do? 2:- What kind of applications is your package used for? 3:- How does your system do what it claims? I would be very grateful for any information you could give me. Emily Stevens

problem where using ZODBCDA
by fbarsukow＠fede.generali.fr 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

hi, i use ZODBCDA for connecting to a sybase 1.12 database. i use it in this way : ## Script (Python) "RH_AppelSQL_script" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters=laChaineSQL ##title= ## REQUEST = context.REQUEST # Fonction appelant la base de données : lstResult = context.base_RH.manage_test(laChaineSQL) return lstResult and i call this script when i want to execute a SQL request or a stored procedure. Nevertheless, sometimes i have a error due to a connection failure. The more suprising is if i use the manage console for testing the connection , that's good . zope version : 2.1.2 python version : 2.1 the error generating by my application is : (Object: shortcuts_box) File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Let.py, line 142, in render (Object: isGestionRH="RH_Securite_Is_Gestion_RH_script()" mois="ZopeTime().month()") File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 205, in eval (Object: RH_Securite_Is_Gestion_RH_script()) (Info: RH_Securite_Is_Gestion_RH_script) File <string>, line 2, in f File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\Shared\DC\Scripts\Bindings.py, line 322, in __call__ (Object: RH_Securite_Is_Gestion_RH_script) File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\Shared\DC\Scripts\Bindings.py, line 342, in _bindAndExec (Object: RH_Securite_Is_Gestion_RH_script) File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\Products\CMFCore\FSPythonScript.py, line 153, in _exec (Object: RH_Securite_Is_Gestion_RH_script) (Info: ({'script': <FSPythonScript instance at 04AFF5E0>, 'context': <PortalFolder instance at 04897EC0>, 'container': <CMFSite instance at 05963220>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, (), {}, None)) File Script (Python), line 7, in RH_Securite_Is_Gestion_RH_script File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\Shared\DC\Scripts\Bindings.py, line 322, in __call__ (Object: RH_AppelSQL_script) File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\Shared\DC\Scripts\Bindings.py, line 342, in _bindAndExec (Object: RH_AppelSQL_script) File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\Products\CMFCore\FSPythonScript.py, line 153, in _exec (Object: RH_AppelSQL_script) (Info: ({'script': <FSPythonScript instance at 04965B70>, 'context': <PortalFolder instance at 04897EC0>, 'container': <CMFSite instance at 05963220>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, ("select NOMBRE=count(LOGIN) from SECURITE where LOGIN='fbarsukow' and ID_SERVICE=-2",), {}, None)) File Script (Python), line 2, in RH_AppelSQL_script File f:\Zope\IntranetLFC\Zope\lib\python\Shared\DC\ZRDB\Connection.py, line 176, in manage_test (Object: base_RH) File c:\projets\projet~2\Divers\install_NT\Zope\lib\python\Products\ZODBCDA\db.py, line 176, in query sql.error: ('S1000', 50, '[INTERSOLV][ODBC SQL Server driver][SQL Server]ct_cmd_alloc(): user api layer: external error: The connection has been marked dead.') or " connection link error" so do you have any solution for a good catching of error and a mean for reconnect the database is the problem occurs? regards, fabien Barsukow
