[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.1.3 released
by Andreas Jung 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 3.1.3. TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3 technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 or in Zope 3. What's new? - multi-field indexing and query support - multi-lingual support - configurable converters (through ZCML) - new indexing API (allowing you to hook your custom content types with TextIndexNG through Zope 3 adapters). Changes in V 3.1.3: - some fixed in the Plone integration introduced in V 3.1.2 Requirements: - Zope 2.8+, Zope 3.1+ Download: http://sf.net/projects/textindexng Project page: http://opensource.zopyx.biz/OpenSource/TextIndexNG3 For installation and documentation issues refer to doc/README.txt from the archive. It's basically the same procedure as with former versions except you *need* to recompile the extension modules. Windows binaries of the required extension modules are currently not available (any volunteers?). TextIndexNG V 3 is published under the ZPL.

ZSQL batching with dtml-in
by Ed Colmar 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Do ZSQL methods communicate with the dtml-in call and understand the "size" attribute? for example, in this dtml-in statement: <dtml-in SQL_get_large_list size=20 start=query_start> </dtml-in> Will the database be queried for all results, and only have 20 displayed, or will the database just return the 20 that are needed? Thanks for the insight! -Ed

Zope refusing to serve our large files (180M+)
by Chris Wilton 09 Dec '05

Hi, thanks for the reply. > > 1) I can download a 170M file but not a 180M file through the > > http server. With the larger file request we get a 500 error in > > the trace log. The download box pops up but nothing is actually > > downloaded. > > If there's a 500 error in the trace or access log, there should > be something in your error_log too. Traceback please? None. Zippo. Squat. I've turned on 'ALL' logging in zope.conf for all logs. All I get is a simple entry in the Z2.log thus: 128.214.209.35 - cwilton [08/Dec/2005:18:38:46 +0300] "GET /dali/downloads/180M.tar HTTP/1.1" 500 272 "" "Opera/8.5 (X11; Linux i686; U; en-GB)" And an equally unhelpful entry in the trace log: ------ 2005-12-08T18:45:23 B 1131651340 2005-12-08T18:45:23 GET /dali/downloads/180M.tar ------ 2005-12-08T18:45:23 I 1131651340 2005-12-08T18:45:23 0 ------ 2005-12-08T18:45:24 A 1131651340 2005-12-08T18:45:24 500 272 ------ 2005-12-08T18:45:24 E 1131651340 2005-12-08T18:45:24 ------ Nothing at all in our error log (stderr and stdout for zope process redirected to logfile) or the event log. Thanks for the advice on ftp; I might look at newer Zopes, but we'd rather not have to use zope's ftp (for reasons including those you pointed out), as our content should be reachable through the http server; I'd rather tackle that problem. > LocalFS doesn't support properties at all AFAIK. Bummer. Anyhow, see above about wanting to avoid ftp... > > and Zope creates the link to the local directory with user Zope, > > group Zope, permissions 660 ... > You're talking about Zope permissions and filesystem permissions > in the same sentence ... Sorry, that was a bit muddled, what I meant was when I list dir contents using ftp, I see my LocalFS object listed there with 'owner' Zope, 'group' Zope, and mods 660 as far as ftp is concerned. The security settings in zope are the ones that I seem unable to change for a LocalFS object. Well, they're clickable, but the changes don't seem to stick. Again, bummer, but again, I was hoping it'd be unnecessary... Any obvious config settings I might be missing? Thanks, Chris

Un-Installing Zope Instances?
by Russell Winter 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Folks Is there a need to "un-install" a Zope Instance? Scenario: I had installed under /directoryOne I copied it zope to /directoryTwo I manually edited the /bin/runzope file to reflect the new locations If I run ./runzope I get only the instance running I expect from /directoryTwo However, if I run ./zopectl start, I get my /directoryTwo and the old /directoryOne instance, >From this i assume that the databse also holds information about previous locations and instances, so I also summise from that that I must have to "un-install" my old copy properly somehow, not just delete the directory, is that correct? thanks a lot, Regards, Russ

dtml-tree (urlparam)
by Ulla Theiss 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Dear list, I have a problem using dtml-tree. The page which contains a dtml-tree should show a dynamic parameter, passed with to url calling the dtml-tree-page. page_with_dtml_tree?myparam=yup Before expanding or collapsing the tree, everything works fine. But if I expand or collapse it, this parameter is forgotten. I found the dtml-tree-parameter urlparam, which is included in the expanding and collapsing widget links. <dtml-tree urlparam="myparam=abc"> This works fine with hard coded strings. * But my string is dynamic! * How can I pass it? <dtml-tree urlparam="myparam=<dtml-var myparam>"> produced syntax-errors. Has somebody an idea, how to pass it - or how to work around the problem? Many thanks in advance, Ulla.

Zope 2.8.4 install on Suse
by Harry Forster 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Thanks to all for the very quick response to my request for help. This is the backbone of the open source community. I have been using Zope 2.6 on windows for years and wanted to update and move to a Suse 9.0 machine. I downloaded Zope 2.8.4-final tgz. I originally had Python 2.4 but switched to Python 2.3.5 after reading the Zope notes. When I did the configure, make, install for Zope I got the message: The Python interpreter you are using does not appear to have the 'zlib' library module installed. For Zope to be able to run, you must install a Python interpreter which includes the zlib module, or install the zlib library into your Python interpreter manually. The file which represents the library is named 'zlib.so' (UNIX) or 'zlib.dll' (Windows) and is typically located in the 'lib-dynload' directory of your Python's library directory. Some Python packagers ship the zlib module as a separate installable binary. If you are using a system-provided Python installation, you may want to look for a 'python-zlib' package (or something like it) and install it to make the Python zlib module available to Zope. This lead me to believe that I needed to install zlib which I did. This lead to the same message. I then found that what I may need is zlib-devel. I had Python-zlib_2.2. I could not find a zlib-devel to match it nor a zlib to match the zlib to match the zlib-devels that I could find. I decided that the problem really lay with Python so I changed to ActivePython-2.4.2-248. Same message. There appears to be a disconnect between Python, Zope, and Suse. I have Zope 2.6.0 running on the same machine but this is what I have on windows. I am very content to stay with 2.6.0 and get off of windows and onto Linux but feel it is time to upgrade. Maybe I should just be happy with the exit from Windows.

Changing the storage from default to term_frequencies seems to fix the problem. _______________ Daniel Pozmanter Siteworx, Inc.

"roles" argument to validate/ authorize
by Gaute Amundsen 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Can anyone tell me what the argument "roles" to the methods validate and authorize is supposed to be? This is sort of a followup to the thread about exUserFolder that Andrew Milton got stuck answering all on his own (thanks :-), but I have a feeling there is a more general explanation... The reason I ask is that I suspect that a previous developer has done something that has made "roles" contain 'Anonymous user' when it should not, and that this interferes with the propper functioning of login at our sites. Among other things we have our own virtual host system, and several products including document types, so there is scope for a lot of things to interfere... However, while no longer being a newbee at this, I have not yet been able, to find a way to unravel where the "roles" argument originate, and who could have touched it.. Regards. Gaute Amundsen
