Webdav and mimetypes
by Kirk Strauser 09 Aug '04

Is there any way to persuade a "vanilla" Zope 2.7.0 installation (read: no Plone, CMF, etc.) to send reasonable mimetypes for things like Python scripts or DTML methods or documents? -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies

I don't patch msoffice, I patch Zope so that it doesn't send the crap that gets MS office thinking it has write access to your service when it doesn't ;-) Bug me again in a few days, I'll have to re-make the patch for Zope 2.7 soon anyway...

SystemError: NULL object passed to Py_BuildValue
by Olivier Laurent 09 Aug '04

09 Aug '04

I have this weird error comming up at random intervals: SystemError: NULL object passed to Py_BuildValue It occurs in a Plone site but I don't think it's related to Plone. I have no access to some error log or to the Control Panel since it's showing me the Plone login form whenever I want to access to restricted information. Thanks to the event.log, here is the traceback: - - - - - - - - 2004-06-03T17:33:19 ERROR(200) SiteError http://www.my_site.net/login_form Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/zope2.7/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py", line 104, in publish if transactions_manager: transactions_manager.commit() File "/usr/local/lib/zope2.7/lib/python/Zope/App/startup.py", line 221, in commit get_transaction().commit() File "/usr/local/lib/zope2.7/lib/python/ZODB/Transaction.py", line 233, in commit ncommitted += self._commit_objects(objects) File "/usr/local/lib/zope2.7/lib/python/ZODB/Transaction.py", line 348, in _commit_objects jar.commit(o, self) File "/usr/local/lib/zope2.7/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 413, in commit state=object.__getstate__() SystemError: NULL object passed to Py_BuildValue - - - - - - - - Python version: 2.3.3 (#1, May 18 2004, 08:35:20) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] Zope version: 2.7 Plone version: 2.0-rc6 Any clue on what's going on.

ldapuserfolder
by Einar Næss Jensen 08 Aug '04

The Ldapuserfolder is so sweet! (using it to authenticate against local AD) Only thing I need (or havent figured out) is: How can one assign roles to single users? Is it possible? I'm trying to make some sort of "hompages" where each user have access to and read/write permission to her own folder, but I am only able to assign roles to groups and not to individual users. Best regards Einar

root privileges required
by Vangelis Mihalopoulos 06 Aug '04

06 Aug '04

Hello, I am looking for a way to start Zope (2.7.2) with root privileges *without* droping them later. I tried to set: effective-user root in the configuration file but it produced the same error... By now i have edited the source code fragment responsible for this check to override it. I was wondering if it can be [somehow] configured without tampering with zope source. Thanks.

zwiki and ftp on linux
by robert rottermann 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Hi there, when I edit a zwiki entry (ZWiki V0.32) the transfer process starts, everything is read (the indicator shows 100%), but the transfer never finishes. I tryed this with a number of ftp clients and editors that can load a file trough ftp. (I tried on two machines). If I do the same on a windows box everything is fine. what could be the reason ? thanks Robert

Timezone problem
by drew nichols 01 Aug '04

01 Aug '04

Hi I have zope 2.6.2 running on redhat linux 7.3. linux date = Sat Jul 31 12:04:29 EST 2004 which is correct for eastern australian time where the server is located. Unfortunately the zope server internal workings are 14hr behind, so i assume it is running on US/Eastern. Is there a way to set the server default timezone for the zope server, or is this a linux issue? I can't seem to find any info about this anywhere. Thanks for any help. Drew

RE: [Zope] No-cache
by Joe Goldthwaite 30 Jul '04

Don't worry, I'm being careful. The program works perfectly with IE. It works with Firefox but you have to hit the refresh button if you want the options from the lower pages to display after you've moved back. That will do until I figure out how to get Firefox to work correctly. It may be a bug in Firefox so the problem might go away by itself. -----Original Message----- From: kosh [mailto:kosh@aesaeion.com] Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 10:53 PM To: joe(a)goldthwaites.com Subject: Re: [Zope] No-cache On Thursday 29 July 2004 11:03 am, Joe Goldthwaite wrote: > Sigh...

You lock yourself into specific quirks of specific browsers. Also Windows XP SP2 looks like it is going to break a lot of IE specific stuff with its various security fixes. I know at least some places that are put into a situation of having security issues fixed or having their apps work and since they are so IE specific they are looking at having to rewrite them mostly from scratch to make them work. I have also found that since there is NO IE standard and never has been and likely never will be the quirks are very much quirks. They tend to break at any time for almost no reason. I have seen things like updating office breaking IE specific apps. At least if your app is cross browser if it breaks in one of them you can use the other one until it is fixed. So business can continue with almost no interruptions. If your app is IE only then it is not a web application it is a windows application and you would have been better off just making it a regular windows app and no using a webserver at all since it is just introducing another source of problems.
