Zope file size limit on linux?
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi. I have a simple question, but don't seem to be able to put my finger on the answer right now. On Windows 2000 i've encountered a 2GB limit on the size of a ZODB file. Is there such a limit on Linux (vanilla Redhat 8, out of the box), and if so, what is that limit?

AbracadabraObject - help about security settings
by Paolo Dina 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi all. I'm using AbracadabraObject to accomplish some tasks _easily_in my new site. But i have a small problem with security settings. In fact they are not maintained in the new object. I will try to explain better.. In standard_object_folder lives a folder called 'admin' with View permission mapped to role of Manager. Instantiating a new AbracadabraObject - context.manage_addProduct['AbracadabraObject'].manage_addAbracadabraObject( 'id', 'object_id', 'title') - yes, it makes the new object, but the folder 'admin' into it has lost settings on permission. What's wrong? Thanks Paolo Dina P.S. Btw, layout of AbracadabraObject homepage (http://zope.org/Members/mjablonski/AbracadabraObject) seems to be broken..

Berkeley database question
by John Toews 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Does anyone use Berkeley DB with Python & Zope? I am wondering if it is possible to maintain a persistent database connection? (for those that don't know, BDB uses a file on the drive as the database, so normally you open & close that file during runtime) Thanks, John Toews

spaces in postgres data field
by Rex McKanry 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi all, I'm having an odd problem with zope. I'm using a postgres database to store address of employees. When I get the data from the database it drop off after the first space. and example would be if the address is 1234 candykane Ln. my text box on the screen would show 1234 only. The text box is set for 30 characters and I've tested the SQL statement in zope and I see it pulls in the full address spaces and all. The code looks something like this: SQL: select * from employee_records where (employee_id=<dtml-sqlvar employee_id>) DTML: <dtml-in "find_employee_rec(employee_id=employee_id)"> <input type="text" name=<dtml-var address1> size="30"> </dtml-in> I don't have the code right in front of me but that's pretty close. I've put under lines in the data base to take out the spaces and all the information shows up, which means that the full address is being passed.

International character display from Oracle database
by Dominic Hiles 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi, I am using Zope on Linux, front-ended by Apache, to retrieve data from an Oracle 8.1.7 database via DCOracle2: 1.3 beta. I have setup the NLS_LANG environment variable in both Zope & Apache to be "ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.UTF8" (ref. <http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-db/2003-February/001482.html>) and NLS_CHAR="UTF8". The source data are correctly held within the Oracle database, since these data have been successfully displayed via ODBC and JDBC drivers on other platforms. However, when retrieving the data using the above configuration, Greek characters are replaced with question marks (which can be verified as simple question marks in the page source). Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any help would be much appreciated! Many thanks, Dominic

CacheManager missing in 2.6.2b4 :-(
by Chris Withers 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi, I introduced a cache manager on http://www.bay-c.co.uk to cache the page templates that generate the two lower boxes in the right column, sincethese don't change very often. When I first did this, all worked amazingly well. However, I just checked the cache manger stats page today and I'm getting 25 misses per hit, not very good at all :-( To boot, there are 193 entries in the cache for a method that doesn't change, and they're taking up 350kb of RAM for no good reason. Is this likely to be a bug in 2.6.2b4 or could I haev tweaked something to get these kind of bad results? thanks for any help, Chris

Should everyone always have 'Anonymous' role?
by Jean Jordaan 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi all I used to test for <tr tal:condition="python:'Anonymous' not in user.getRoles()"> before switching to LDAPUserFolder, and it used to work. When I switched, it stopped working, and I found this in LDAPUserFolder's 'Configure.stx': 'Default User Roles' -- All users authenticated from your ldap tree will be given the roles you put into this comma-delimited list. Zope expects all users - anonymous as well as authenticated - to have the role Anonymous. I wasn't aware of that. Why does an authenticated user need to have Anonymous as a role? (I'm trying to get to http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/Security.stx but it's down now: While trying to retrieve the URL: http://12.155.117.33:8082/VirtualHostBase/http/zope.org:80/zopeorg/VirtualH… The following error was encountered: * Connection Failed ) -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
