New zope.org update (again!)
by Brian Lloyd 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Well, the migration has finished converting things and is now reindexing. By looking at the log, that's going to take a while. I think we're going to shoot for going live Monday, since I think the timing for when things will finish is going to work out to an unreasonable hour for doing the final things that need to be done for the switchover.

xml-rpc question
by Kevin Carlson 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

Hi all, I need to run a python script called via xml-rpc that is kicked off by a cron job. This script will be making several dozen, perhaps over 100, different http requests to external servers, some of which can be quite slow on the return. I am curious to know if I am likely to receive a http timeout on this if the xml-rpc request takes a long time -- seems to me that that would happen. Also, curious to know whether anyone has done something like this before and may know of a better way, perhaps using threads, or another mechanism that would let the xml-rpc call return (without a timeout) while the remainder of the work is being done. I'd like to avoid changing the timeout value on Apache since I don't want to change this across the board, if possible. Any ideas? Any known recipes out there? Thanks, Kevin

Hello, I am building some sort of login manager with Interbase. How can the user be validated from Interbase act as an authenticated user ? Must I add a local role ? Regards, Michael

Alex, Thank you very much, it looks exactly like the thing I am looking for. Now, I am going to try to impress then. I have a question though, I have a REDHAT with zope and several windows 2000 servers, which one will you advice me to install it in?

(except the keeping-my-job part. :) I suggest you discuss it with your boss before you start on it, though. It's easy once you know how, but it was a bit of work for me. It may take you more than longer than an empty afternoon. I have found it relatively painless once it was going, though. OTOH, I recommended it to a friend, and he has found it to be a pain in the neck. YMMV. I strongly recommend installing and using TextIndexNG, as well as plone's explicit dependancies. This allows indexing of word documents, PDFs, etc. You do this by replacing the SearchableText object in the Indexes section of the portal_catalog with a TextIndexNG object. You want to turn on the "use converters" option when you install it. Then you click the "Reindex" button in the Indexes page. You may also want to play with the workflow, depending on how you want to use it for collaboration. One way to do this is to make Published the Initial State in the States tab of the workflow tabs. I also stuck my Zope web and webDAV services behind Apache SSL proxies. For that, a Virtual Host Monster is useful. HTH. Alex.

Announce: new www.zope.org is LIVE!
by Brian Lloyd 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

At long last, http://www.zope.org has gone live with a new look and a new platform based on Zope 2.6.2, CMF 1.3 and Plone! Our thanks go to the cast of thousands who have participated in this project over time, most recently Guido van Rossum and Sidnei de Silva for getting us to the goal line. Zope.org is a big site with a lot of content. We've tried hard to test the most common resources, but we fully expect some issues to arise in the transition. We are also certain that the best way to work things out quickly is to 'make it live' and tackle the issues as they come up. If you notice anything weird, broken or missing from the site, please send us a problem reporting using the ZopeOrg issue collector: http://collector.zope.org/ZopeOrg/collector_add_issue_form Issues that we are aware of and working to resolve this week include: - Logging in as a member takes a ridiculously long time. We think this might be an LDAP interaction and we working to fix it. - We have not done extensive cache tuning yet - if you experience any unreasonably slow load times, please let us know the URL you were trying to get to help us tune caching. The old sites will remain accessible for some time at the following URLs in case anything was missed in the transition: - http://old.zope.org - http://olddev.zope.org Note that it will take some time for DNS changes to propagate, so you may not see the site changes immediately. Thanks again to everyone who has been involved in making this happen! Brian Lloyd brian(a)zope.com V.P. Engineering 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com

Again, thanks, I spoke with my boss, I still have some hopes... New question, we need also workflow, eroom didn't have work flow at all, so if I can tell my boss that I can also give him work flow with this tool that would keep me safe :) Do anybody knows how is the work flow handle by Plone, I have read something about CMFOpenflow, is it hard to implement?

It hardly matters for development purposes. I'd choose whichever one you feel most comfortable with or have root/admin privileges on. Probably you can run it as localhost:8080 on your desktop machine. The only real advice I'd offer is this: Don't do your development or learning on a machine currently being used as a production server. That's a *very* poor way to build job security. :-) As long as all the machines in question are reasonably modern there's little chance you're going to see a big performance difference until your app gets used by more than a handful of people. At that point, it's pretty easy to move from Windows to Linux or vice versa. HTH, Dylan
