Okay, yahooing around I found I have to set the path. But I still get this error: root@server167:zope/instance2/var (177) set PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python root@server167:zope/instance2/var (178) python /usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py Data.fs Data.fs.recover Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py", line 80, in ? import ZODB ImportError: No module named ZODB The python is the correct one. I re-set python so that the one that comes up first in the path is the one Zope uses. TIA, Nancy ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

No, I haven't and it's not. After getting through the permission denied errors, I found that my Data.fs is indeed corrupt: ZODB.FileStorage.FileStorageFormatError: /usr/local/zope/instance2/var/Data.fs I find this inexplicable because I made a backup copy of it (that I'm using now) when everything was fine, so how did it get corrupted? But it is. How do I run thes utilities? Can't find anything in yahoo... Also, someone responded that I shouldn't start new threads for the same topic. Of course, they're right, but for some reason many of the posts just to this list don't end up in my yahoo box! I researched both of these responses on gmane. Why is that?

Permission Denied...New Build

79797975Hi; After nuking my Zope instances by trying to copy my main HD over to my new one, I'm rebuilding with backups. But I'm having a problem. I built Z29 from source. I created an instance, specified the path, "nancy" as the user and a p/w.

tal loop to render table
by Dennis Schulz 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

I would like to build a tal loop that renders a list of elements (widgets in my case) in a table. (for example I have a list of 9 items, then it renders a table: five rows with 2,2,2,2,1 items) the table has 2 columns, so i would need to open and close the table row every second item. I tried to check with a condition if the row is odd or even, but unopened and unclosed tags are not valid. Is there any possibiliy to do this with tal? Dennis

My Sad Tale Of Woe

757575Hi; Is anybody out there reading this list? Third question today, no responses, and boy am I in trouble. I went to backup my server's working HD on my new .5 teraflop HD and for some reason that wiped out the /var dirs in my Zope instances. I have backups of the Data.fs that aren't too old, but for some reason I can't get a working copy of Zope installed! I follow the tar, configure, make, make install, make instance without throwing anything special at the configure, then I edit zope.conf to enter the correct effective-user, but when I go to runzope, it throws a cPersistence error. Well, I yahoo'd that and found out I had to run "python setup.py build_ext -if" to knock it out. But why should I have to do that at all? That's not standard procedure. Anyway, I got past that point, but now when I try runzope I get the error that follows. And I've tried every way I can think of to get around it. All the permissions are correct. Once I actually got to the point where it said Zope was ready to serve, could surf to the 111.222.333.444:8080 page, but try to get into the "manage" page and it won't accept my username/password. I ran zpasswd.py and still couldn't get in! Guys, I'm exhausted. I've been at this for 10 hours! Any help would really be appreciated.

Hello all, I have created: - a Controller Page Template - a Controller Validator script and, - a Controller Python script I am trying to create a form whose values are used by a script to: - query a separate reporting system - generate a .pdf document with the resulting report and, - post the contents of the .pdf to a results page I cannot seem to figure out how to generate the results page. Could anyone shed some light on this? You will note some poor python code practices (especially in the validator script) which I apologize for (too hurried), so please be forgiving...

Nuked Installations! Problem w/ Rebuild!

102Hi; I just went to copy my main HD on my server to my new 1/2 teraflop HD and it wiped out the zopecltsockets and the var directories! Luckly I have backups of the Data.fs that are recent. So, I'm rebuilding with Z29, but when I go to crank up an instance with runzope, I get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/src/Zope-2.9.6-final/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 56, in ? run() File "/usr/local/src/Zope-2.9.6-final/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 19, in run opts = _setconfig() File "/usr/local/src/Zope-2.9.6-final/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 48, in _setconfig opts.realize(doc="Sorry, no option docs yet.")
