HI all, I am having some strange behavior with zope. When I log into manage I get the following error: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Resource not found Sorry, the requested resource does not exist. Check the URL and try again. Resource: sequence-odd ________________________________________________________________________ Troubleshooting Suggestions * The URL may be incorrect. * The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. * A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. For more detailed information about the error, please refer to error log. If the error persists please contact the site maintainer. Thank you for your patience. I can't figure out what I may have done to cause this but I can't access my root folder now. Any hints on how to fix this would be most appreciated. Thanks Aaron

ZEO server setup question: cost/performance?
by Todd Elsbernd 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Hello, I am considering a new hardware setup for running several Zope-powered web servers and am looking for feedback from the community as to the validity of cost and performance for the setup. How much traffic will this setup be able to handle? What future upgrades will need to be considered to improve performance? Thank you in advance for any feedback! -- The Setup -- Front end (Squid cache / Load balancer) CPU: 3GHz P4 RAM: 4GB HDD: 2x36GB 10,000 rpm NIC: 1GBit Linksys Back end (ZEO server database storage) CPU: 3GHz P4 RAM: 2GB HDD: 3x73GB NIC: 1GBit Linksys 3 x ZEO clients CPU: 2.8GHz P4 RAM: 1GB HDD: 36GB 10,000 rpm 8-port GBit switch for local traffic Todd Elsbernd Computer Services Specialist The University of Georgia 4-424 Forest Resources Building Athens, GA 30602 telsbernd(a)sref.info (706)-542-1078

Hi everybody, I use zope 2.7 and plone 2.0 And I can't read the rss file I tested different product : RSSChannel, ZExternal, RSSSummary. And all the time I have the same error : IOError [Errno socket error] (10061, 'Connection refused') I think, python use a port to real this rss, and my firewall block it. So do you know which one ? Or maybe, I am totally wrong, and it's it something else. Thinks for your help. damien

Hi, where can I discuss Placeless Translation Service development? The original author Lalo Martins does not respond to emails - current PTS bears a "fork" suffix - who's in charge now? -- Milos Prudek

RE: [Zope] Newbie question: can the ZODB be moved? On a different Server or HDD?
by Samir Mishra 02 Jun '04

Is it possible to move Data.fs between different versions of Zope, specifically 2.6.x and 2.7.0? And platforms - Win32 to Linux? For example, I have an instance of Zope 2.6 running, and this server has instances of LocalFS. The same product, LocalFS, doesn't work with Zope 2.7, in fact once installed users/administrators cannot access views/management screens at that point. Would moving Data.fs work? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Withers [mailto:chris@simplistix.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 23:30 To: Shane McCombs Cc: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Newbie question: can the ZODB be moved?

[ANN] Zwiki 0.31 released, news
by Simon Michael 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi all, summer is coming; the "june edition" is ready for download at http://zwiki.org . Summary: Much i18n progress including a number of new translations; tracker cleanups and usability improvements; permissions fixes; tests, code cleanups, bugfixes. ( http://zwiki.org/ReleaseNotes ) This was the month where internationalisation finally took hold, assisted greatly by the work of Nicolas aka Foenyx. We have PTS-based i18n support working for python code, page templates, dtml templates and dtml pages, in and out of CMF/Plone. Localizer support code has not been removed at this point, it could be made to work as an alternative but on the whole I prefer PTS's po-file approach. Thanks to Nicolas and the other translators who have stepped forward this month, including Lele Gaifax, T.C.Chou, Jean Rodrigo Ferri and Raphael Badin. 0.31 is the first release where translators have something solid to work with, so if you want to help with other languages it's a great time to get in contact on #zwiki and at http://zwiki.org/InternationalisationDiscussion . Current translation status is at http://zwiki.org/Chapter26Internationalisation . zwiki.org discussion has been relatively light this month. There are awkward technical/usability aspects to the current setup and I'm thinking about ways to simplify and concentrate discussion a bit. Ideas welcome at http://zwiki.org/UserDiscussion . Spam comments passed the annoyance threshold this month and an preventive feature has been added (banned_links). Thanks to the usual zwiki.org crew for bug reports, suggestions and tips. And finally, thanks to George Donnelly and Zettai.net for fueling the engines with a donation. If you want to add your financial muscle to the project, see http://zwiki.org/ZwikiFunding or get in touch by mail or irc. Be well, -Simon PS - I'm trying the zope list this month as zope-announce appears to be not so widely read and last month's post didn't show up.

acquisition problem
by Gál László 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi! I have a hierarchy of sites, each site may or may not have own pics, css-es, etc. If a a subsite hasn't got own logo for example, it uses its parents'. It's ok, that's what acqusition for. The problem begins when I want the subsites more structured, ie. I want all pictures to be in 'pics' subfolder of each site. let's see: /root_site/pics/ /root_site/subsite1/subsite2/../subsiteN/pics/ When I create 'pics' folder in one of my subsites, I lost the content of the formal 'pics' folders (overriding the parent's folder itself) and I only see the pictures of the lastest 'pics' folder. That's not what I want:) It would be nice to see all stuff in a hierarchy above, putting only the custom images to 'pics' of each site. Is there a way (or a special product) to do this? Thanks, Lac -- "Whew! Don't worry, it's really not that complicated, I just thought it sounded good." http://latz.linsze.hu

Shane, Yes, you have to use Z Enterprise Objects (ZEO). Zope 2.7 comes with it. Basically it seperates the ZODB from the application server. This most often used for clustering and such, but you can use it for any purpose. You then have a Zeo server (Where the ZODB is) and one or more Zope servers (Which act as Zeo clients). You can google for Zeo or read zope.conf for some bits of information. Don't know what SNAP is though :( J.F. -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org]On Behalf Of Shane McCombs Sent: June 1, 2004 12:37 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Newbie question: can the ZODB be moved?
