Simple ZODB Search and Edit
by Peppe Top 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi all, I'm new to Zope and I'm reading through a few tutorials and the Zope book. I need to do a text string search on a ZODB and I need to know which objects contain the string. Example: I have a site running up, and I need to know where my mail is mentioned, so I can edit each object and update the mail. (I think using ZMI) >From the documentation I think that ZCatalog might do the trick, but I'm not sure it's the easier solution. Am I on the right path? Can you get me started? I just need a fixed string search, returning the name (maybe the path too) of the object inside the ZODB, so I can later edit. Is ZMI the right tool to do simple editing? Also is ZCatalog already included in Zope, or do I need to install it? Thanks a lot for your time -- Peppe

Z Search Interface returns numbers
by Peppe Top 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I've diligently followed the tutorial about searching in the Zope book: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/SearchingZCatal… You basically: - create a ZCatalog object - create a Lexicon and an Index - finding objects and cataloging them - create a web interface (with Z Search Interface) to search the ZCatalog. When I search something in the SearchForm (via the "test" tab) I just get numbers. I mean the ReportForm correctly reports the objects containing the searched string, but lists handles (I guess). Is this normal? What can I do in order to get something like: /Zoo/Serpents /Zoo/Reptiles (the above are imaginary DTML documents matching the search criteria, and their path to ZODB root) instead of: 4567489 4567480 ??? Thanks a lot -- Peppe (Plone 2.1.2, Zope 2.8.7, Python 2.3.5, Red Hat Linux)

ZEO clients going zombie
by Bengt Giger 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hi with our new ZEO client systems, we frequently observe this problem: a ZEO process starts to use 100% CPU time (user) without a significant increase of requests. Sometimes (but not always) the process stops answering requests, still using 100% CPU. When we kill such a process, it changes to zombie state (shown in top as 'Z' and '<defunct>'), still using 100% CPU, but now its system time, not user. The HTTP port is still in use, so we have to reboot this node to restart the ZEO client. This usually fails because some filesystems cannot be unmouted, there are still files locked. I tried both start modes, runzope and zopectl, but no difference. All that is in opposition of what I know about zombie processes, they should use no CPU time. Versions are: RedHat RHEL4, Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp, with address extension (16 GB RAM) Python 2.3.6 Zope 2.8.8 The older cluster nodes work perfectly, no such zombie problem ever (connected to the same storage server); they run on Debian Sarge, Kernel 2.4.27 SMP Any hint is appreciated Regards Bengt

localfs weirdness
by pol 10 Apr '07

<posted & mailed> I have just installed localfs (and fixed according to http://www.zope.org/Members/aeg/LocalFS_1_3_andreas/talkback/1151975084) The local directory having been assigned, i have tried to have a look to a few sub-dirs Here is my weird result: - Some sub-dirs containing a 'y' in their name give rise to the enclosed error message. In my case, sub-dir 'physis' cannot be accessed. - Sub-dirs named 'society' or 'system' can be accessed, apparently with no errors. Any hints? How to fix that?

what if the query gives no records?
by siva k 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hi, A very basic question: a dtml-in loop calls an zsql method it works fine when there is data but when there is no data it should display no records found. But it displays nothing when there are no records. Please suggest a soultion <dtml-in "select_something(parameter=parameter ,parameter1=parameter1)"> <dtml-if "_['sequence-start']==_['sequence-end']"> no records found <dtml-else> <dtml-var fieldname> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> thanks, _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

ImportError: No module named cPersistence when creating new instance
by michael nt milne 05 Apr '07

Hi I'm getting this when running ./zopectl after creating a new instance. This was simply using the /utilities/mkzopeinstance.py script from within the main zope directory and running the system python on it. The original instance works fine but not the new one. Any ideas?
