Don't use Solaris for Zope/ZEO!
by Dieter Maurer 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Occasionally, someone asks whether Solaris is an adequate platform for Zope/ZEO deployment. Up to now, I answered to those questions -- we are using Solaris in our backend and up to now we did not see problems. This changed a few days ago -- we met an incredible limitation in Solaris: the number of "File" streams is limited to 256 in 32 bit applications.... This limitation caused us ZEO restarts once or twice a day since several days (with a completely stupid error message EAGAIN from "fdopen"). The problem is described in http://blogs.sun.com/mandalika/entry/solaris_workaround_to_stdio_s Don't use Solaris for Zope/ZEO, unless your are willing to deploy it as a 64 bit application (which we will try with our ZEO) or you are using at least Solaris 10 update 4. Watch out for "EAGAIN" exceptions from "fdopen" or other file creation functions. They indicate that Solaris has hit its 256 "File" limit.... -- Dieter

Some sort of rating system and comments about Zope products would be nice; like Joomla does with its extensions. For example: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/lin k_id,1508/Itemid,35/ I can't say how much time I have wasted investigating dead-end or poorly or un-supported Zope products over the years. Being able to read other peoples unsoliciated opinions about a Joomla Extension has been incredibly helpful in making successful long-term selections. -- Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson(a)indepthl.com Phone: 505 994-2135 Fax: 505 994-3603

Five 1.5.5 and menuItem - problem with 'filter' parameter
by Pawel Lewicki 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi, Am I doing anything wrong or filter parameter of browser:menuItem is just ignored? I have that problem in Plone but I suspect CMF ActionsTool if not Five itself. <browser:menuItem for="Products.Archetypes.interfaces.IBaseObject" menu="object" title="synchronize" action="synchronizeObject" permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent" filter="string: object/whatever" /> I tried "whatever" Python Script, registered page view, etc. No success.
