Password expiration
by Sinang, Danny 16 Nov '06

Hello, "Out of the box", is Zope able to do password-expiration ? Or do I need an authentication product to do this ? Will this external product be able to effect password expiration on existing acl_user folder users ? Regards, Danny

"yeah, I can see how this kind of attitude draws lots and lots of new followers to zope." Quite right. It's an ignorant attitude and one that itself deserves the label that it is prescribing. It's been prevalent for a long time on this list. The whole attitude here is one of sneering and schoolboy name calling. Is there a reason that the Plone list gets 3 times the level of postings that the Zope list gets? Yes. because it is a more mature and constructive support environment which actually helps promote the product. On 11/13/06, Andreas Jung <lists(a)zopyx.com> wrote: > > > > --On 13.

adding a python library
by David Bear 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

I would like to add Mark Pilgrims feedparser to the available modules that I can use in zope. I have installed the feedparser into the python instance that zope uses. However, when I attempt to import it, I get an error that I'm not authorized. How might I make the feedparser available to zope? -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"

Re: [Zope] Emergency Meltdown! Help!

109All is back to normal. Apparently, an obsolete script I had running went haywire, probably because of some obsolete server call to another server that got tweaked, and that sent everything crazy. Thanks, Nancy

Emergency Meltdown! Help!
by Nancy Donnelly 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

108Hi; I have two Zope instances. I user a web server called LightTPD. I was trying to hook up an SSL cert to one of the instances, so I made some modifications in it's conf file. Suddenly, I discovered that I couldn't pull up any of the Web pages on that instance! I also found that the MySQL connection to the database for one of the clients on that instance was broken. I edited out my changes in the LightTPD config file. Nothing. I still had my Apache configuration working, so I tried with that. Same problem. I could still get into the ZMI all this time using the IP address; however, I couldn't pull down Web pages, even typing out the whole path with the port number. I thought maybe the Data.fs somehow got corrupted, so I swapped it out with a backup. I could boot it, but I couldn't log into the ZMI at all! So, then I swapped it back for the current one, tried to get into the ZMI, but it kept trying to authenticate and wouldn't take my p/w! So I figured I'd just reboot the machine again. Now, it just pretends to load the ZMI page but never loads it! Meanwhile, everything, including database connections, work fine on the other instance. What on earth could be going on here??? HELP!!!

zope replacement for sys module
by David Bear 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

I wonder if there is a zope replacement for the sys module? It would be wonderfully easy if I could import zopesys as sys Then, the zopesys module could mape stderr, stdin, stdout to safe zope equivelents. -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
