Can anyone point me to a Howto describing how to set up SQUID as a caching front end for Zope? -- John

Is there a way to retrieve the Zope object associated with a particular id? ZCatalog has a function called getObject but that will not work for me. - James __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo! Mail SpamGuard. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

manage_menu spins forever on Zope 2.7.0/ZEO
by John Ziniti 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

I've got a problem similar to Alexis Roda, described here: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2003-January/130237.html This is Zope 2.7.0 on a Linux machine. An added bonus is that I am actually using ZEO, and one of the ZEO clients is having this problem, but the other is not. I have tried to "Debug a Spinning Zope", but the process is not actually using any CPU, and I can't identify any "problems" in gdb. Attempts to PyRun_SimpleString in gdb fail with: """ The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB. Evaluation of the expression containing the function (malloc) will be abandoned. """ Anyone have any ideas on what I can try next? The ZODB is freshly packed. Does ZEO cache stuff anywhere? Maybe that cache is spoiled on zeoclient2? Thanks in advance, John Ziniti

Copy to another storage using APE
by Gabriel Genellina 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hi I'm trying to copy some objects from a FileStorage (data.fs) to another (a file system storage using APE) but I always get this error File "C:\Archivos de programa\ZopeServer\lib\python\Products\Ape\lib\apelib\zodb3\connection.py", line 428, in identify raise InvalidObjectReference, (ZODB.POSException.InvalidObjectReference: Can't refer to <Folder instance at 017C2AD0>, located in Connection at 015ba8bc>, from <ApeConnection at 0173d03c> This used to work in previous versions of APE; I'm using now 0.8.1. I just use _getOb(id) to obtain an object from one place and then _setObject(id, aq_base(obj)) to copy it to another place. With newly created objects the APE storage works fine, only complains when copying objects from another storage. I guess, the object "remembers" its original connection and then cant be stored in another place. But this is exactly what I want, copy things from one storage to another. This is a test script. Sorry if it's a bit long but I most of the code is to set up needed things. === begin === """ This script tries to read a Folder from a FileStorage (data.fs) and write it to a different filesystem-based Ape storage. How to run: create a Folder inside the root (/test) and put something there. The script will create a directory in [ZOPE]/var/test-export which should contain the above folder (but fails). Another folder /test2 (which is created on-the-fly) works fine.

Python switcheroo

Hi all, Recently, I've had to restart Zope a few times from the command line. Suddenly I noticed this: > /usr/local/www/Zope/zope01/bin/zopectl stop . . . . . . daemon process stopped > /usr/local/www/Zope/zope01/bin/zopectl start . daemon process started, pid=55616 > /usr/local/www/Zope/zope01/bin/zopectl stop /usr/local/lib/python2.4/whrandom.py:38: DeprecationWarning: the whrandom module is deprecated; please use the random module DeprecationWarning) . . . . . . daemon process stopped > /usr/local/www/Zope/zope01/bin/zopectl start /usr/local/lib/python2.4/whrandom.py:38: DeprecationWarning: the whrandom module is deprecated; please use the random module DeprecationWarning) . daemon process started, pid=9498 Checking my Control Panel, I see this: Python Version 2.4 (#2, Dec 4 2004, 12:47:50) [GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] where previously there hed been Python Version 2.3.4 (#2, Sep 6 2004, 12:15:06) [GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] Some has been in there messing with my install! (I know exacly where I was on Dec 4 2004, at 12:47:50, it must have been my ISP friend..) Now, Zope won't pack, I've got a couple of corrupted objects and I've developed a case of the hangs... Fortunately, I have a viable Data.fs.old. Help Mr Wizard! How do I get back my old Python? Thanks! Ken __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
