Backup/Restore Zope
by Liz Marlow 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hi I hope someone can help me - I want to make a copy of my zope data on a different machine. I stopped zope on A, tared the whole of the zope dir, ftped it to B, untarred it and started zope on B, but when I go to the manage page it comes up with error "PROXY ERROR The proxy server could not handle the request GET /manage_workspace." (or redirects to the ip of A if I start zope on A). Does anyone know what I've done wrong. Many thanks Liz ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at rcsltd.co.uk

exUserFolder: short error-message showing up prior to login form
by Elena Schulz 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hi, using exUserFolder with Cookie based authentification (basic and secure) and database based auth.source an error message shows up for one or a half second before the login form appears and everything works as normal afterwards. This happens with the standart form or a customized one. It doesn't look very good so I want to stop that. Any clues about that? I cannot read that fast to tell you about the content of the error message. -- Elena

Re: Zope file size limit on linux?

If I'm not wrong, that was a problem with the c library of the old kernels. The new kernels include large file support; however, you have also to compile python to support it. Search the archives or zope.org to see how this is done. There is a couple of how-tos. I've tested files bigger than 2 Gb on RedHat 7.3 and the latest kernel and it works, so I guess it should work for 8.0 too. Regards, Josef

lines property size
by Michele Ruberl 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hello, I'm storing a list of people filling a form in my Zope site in a folder property of type "lines". Now the number of lines has started to increase a lot... I know this is not the best choice, but I didn't expect the users to be so responsive at the time. Is there any limit to the size (= number of lines) of such property ? (just to be relaxed while developing a better way to store it, e.g. a TinyTable...) Thanks Mik

Using pydoc or epydoc on Zope products
by Sean Gillies 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Greetings, I have a Zope product (http://zope.org/Members/sgillies/zmapserver) and am trying to put together documentation using pydoc or epydoc. Problem is that each of these croak when they inspect my packages which import: import Globals from Globals import Persistent pydoc reports ImportError: cannot import name Persistent and epydoc reports similarly. I am certain that I have PYTHONPATH set up correctly. I've been using ZopeTestCase extensively in development, so I think I have a good handle on the environment needed to import Zope. Can pydoc/epydoc be used for my purposes only within the context of a live Zope? Am I going to have to create a Zope instance as in a ZopeTestCase and then run pydoc/epydoc against the code in Products? I'd really like to hear of any kind of solution. thanks, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://www.frii.com/~sgillies

It is lame attack. My zope mail me all errors and exactly these errors are in 80% of all. Others thinks that I have /disk_c or so under my Linux server :-))))) > 1st question: This is nothing to worry about with zope, right? not as much. Sometimes it cause zope stops to responding or go to death (in windows occurs 1-2 times per week, under Linux I was run zope in wild inet without proxy for one month without problem :-). I reccomend you to use minimalistic but powerfull pound reverse proxy before (www.apsis.ch/pound/) > 2nd question: is runing zope behind Apache any help?, and if so (while I > appreciate it is not trivial), what sort of things should I look out for? yes, it helps, but you could have potential security problem with apache. Use pound instead if you dont need apache. > Does anyone know of an 'everymans[!] guide to setting up apache and not doing > it the WRONG way'? (sorry that's probably my quota of questions tonight I > know!) :-) Yes, today I was find that info in early morning somewhere at www.zopera.org (i think, not sure), but it is in french. But I think that these infos are in zope.org too, but use google for that searching. I mean old zope site, not new, because new site has problems with howto and products section (it shows only first 100 instead all). Regards JL.

Re: [Zope] can't pack large Data.fs (2.5GB)

If does not help anything other...: try to export your root folder objects (you know which ;-), stop zope, copy fresh data.fs from zope installation tarball, start zope and import objects.

Duplicated keys in a BTreeFolder2
by Thierry Florac 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hi, I currently use a custom subclass of BTreeFolder2 to store my site's users profiles (currently 3700). I've noticed several problems : - several keys (= user ids) are duplicated in this folder ; in the ZMI, these duplicated keys appear at the start of the list, unordered. - some keys are duplicated more than once ; if I try to delete one of them, the other duplicated keys are kept and can't be deleted, because the object doesn't exist !!! - if I try to cut a duplicated object and paste it into another folder, I receive an error message, saying that I'm trying to paste an object from a foreign database connection !!! So here are my questions : - is it a bug in BTreeFolder2 ?? Can I avoid this ? - are duplicated keys pointing to the same object or no ? - is it possible to repair this, without losing currently stored objects ?? Thanks for any help...
