Reinstall system for use with Zope
by Roel Van den Bergh 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Hi all, during the holidays our server went down: two drives of a raid-5 system on a PowerApp 120 failed. It seems our server kept running solely on it's RAM memory, but it finally died this morning. Mayor bummer because I have to reinstall everything from scratch, there goes my weekend. We were using zope 2.5.1 and CMF 1.3 with Apache 1.3.23 on RedHat 7.3 Our Data.fs file has been backed up, I hope we can recuperate that one :-) We now have the opportunity to upgrade to whatever is best. Here are some questions: 1. I'm not sure wheiter to use RH7.3, 8.0 or 9.0 (I've seen some issues with 9.0 on the mailing list) 2. Also I'm thinking of installing Zope 2.6.1 or 2.6.2b5 in stead of 2.5.1. 3. Is there a difference between Apache 1.3.X and Apache 2.X regarding the communication with Zope?

Errors reStructuredText under 2.7
by Alec Munro 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Hi List, This happens whenever I try to add a reStructuredText document in the ZMI, and also whenever I try to render a page template containing a call to ReST. I get the following Zope Error: *Error Type: AttributeError* *Error Value: 'module' object has no attribute 'TitledHelpFormatter' Is this a known issue, or specific to my installation? Thanks, Alec Munro *

webdav access defaults to anonymous?
by Lee Harr 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Hi; I am starting to learn about webdav, so I downloaded the cadaver client and out of curiousity pointed it at my zope server. I was a bit surprised (!) to find that I could wander around in there getting listings of all of the directories... There is a setting for "WebDAV Access" which was marked "Anonymous" and which I am sure I never changed. Should this default to manager only? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

callback function when object is deleted
by Carsten Gehling 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

I'm writing a product where users can maintain information about electronic equipment. I've made a class called eg. "Equipment", and an instance is created for each piece of equipment the user has. The user can also make a maintainance log entry for each instance. These log entries are stored in an external databases. If the user deletes an equipment object through the ZMI, I'd like the object to set a "deleted" flag on each log entry beforehand. Similar, if the deletion is undone, the object should remove the "deleted" flag. I suspect that this should be done through some inherited method from the Zope superclasses that is called by the ZMI, but which? - Carsten

importing poplib: unauthorized
by Jack Daniel 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

I have a server side Python script in which I want to use the poplib module. When access this script though cgi it crashes with the following error: Error Type: ImportError Error Value: import of "poplib" is unauthorized Zope won't let me import the module! Any idea on how I would go about fixing this? I assume it has something to do with the files permissions but I'm still stuck. Why is this "unauthorized"? --Jack Daniel

ReStructuredText: why the weird hyperlink syntax
by Alex Coventry 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Why does ReStructuredText use such a weird hyperlink syntax? It seems gratuitously complex. I'm probably going to start using StructuredDocument for my site instead, but I'd be interested to hear justifications for ReStructuredText's existence, if anyone here knows of any, in case I'm making a big mistake. Alex.

TALES on-error
by drew nichols 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Can anyone help ? I understand from the TAL documentation that the on-error tag sets a var error. <<< ##bind namespace=_ ... error = _['error'] print error.type print error.value print error.traceback return printed >>> Unfortunately the error produced says that: ErrorInfo instance has no attribute 'traceback' Checking the Tales.py i agree. It doesn't. type and value are fine, but how do i get the traceback????? Drew
