CookieCrumbler authentication for XMLRPC
by Dennis Allison 24 Aug '03

24 Aug '03

Yikes, I just can't seem to make it work. XMLRPC works fine with Basic Authentication but the system the XMLRPC needs to work with uses the CookieCrumbler Product--and, for the life of me, I cannot get it to authenticate. Help!

RE: [Zope] md5sums of modules
by Gauges, Ralph 24 Aug '03

24 Aug '03

Are you sure, this would be the responsibility of the webmaster. I don't know how this is handled by the developers, but I would guess that providing the right md5sums would be the responsibility of the module maintainers. What I was actually rather curious about was if anybody could shed some light on the fight that it is always zeros that are missing from the md5sums, this doesn't really look like coincidence to me. But on the other hand, nothing I have read about md5sums so far suggests that zeros within the sum would be insignificant. It alwas sais that md5sums are 128bit, but actually none of them are because of the leading 0.

RE: [Zope] md5 sums

In my experience, "can be correct" == "human intervention required", not what one wants to be doing. A lot of bandwidth wasted right here for a "can be correct"... (WRT someone else's comments) I like the new Zope site, it's eye candy, I agree, but how else does one tempt the kiddie-surfers? :) I find it more functional in some respects. And main goal - also show capabilities of Zope - is definitely served better with the new site.

I see what you are saying. But we read..... **** MD5 Sums are 32 byte character strings that are the result of running the MD5 sum program against a particular file. Since any difference between two files results in two different strings, MD5's can be used to determine that the file or iso you downloaded is a bit-for-bit copy of the remote file or iso. **** So we both get the same md5sum for the image.... cd2ca5eb1c9c014844895b93339c0291 But the published string is.. 0cd2ca5eb1c9c14844895b93339c291 which has 31 characters (30 without the leaded zero). So........ can this be corrected?

Since several days, I do not receive mails from any of the Zope mailing lists. Are they down/broken? Since about the same time, I receive lots of virus messages. Maybe, there is some relation? Dieter

ZMySQLDA broken with Redhat 9?
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

This is really baffling: I cannot seem to get ZMySQLDA to work on Redhat 9. Here's what is installed: (Zope 2.6.1 (binary release, python 2.1, linux2-x86), python 2.1.3, linux2) MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.13-0 MySQL-server-4.0.13-0 MySQL-devel-4.0.13-0 MySQL-client-4.0.13-0 MySQL-python-0.9.2-1 /var/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA version 2.0.8 Here is the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 541, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/var/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py", line 91, in ? import DA File "/var/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/DA.py", line 92, in ? from db import DB File "/var/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/db.py", line 89, in ? import _mysql ImportError: No module named _mysql Is it a path problem? Adding: PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages EXPORT PYTHONPATH to /var/zope/start does not seem to fix it. Nor does: PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages EXPORT PYTHONPATH ...which is where I can find _mysql.so as well as the MySQLdb directory. Zope appears not to run at all if I change Zope' python to 2.2, which came with RH9, so I am using the default python that came with the Zope binary. Getting MySQL and Zope to talk on Linux used to be so easy. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Document Management using Zope
by Siu, Paul 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

Hi, I need to create a system that is mostly for web content management (HTML, XML, etc), but also have support for traditional "fat" documents like Microsoft Office. Basically I want to be able to version fat documents and route them through workflows. I was trying to figure out if this is feasible in Zope. >From what I can tell from reading the docs, Zope uses an object orient database Zodb. Zodb seemed to be able to handle content, but can it handle "fat" content reliably? I guess one issue would be caching, since caching a large object in memory would chew up memory quickly. Another problem is that Zope lacks a reliable version control. Zope can version by saving old transactions, but the transactions are lost after a pack. What I need is someway to specify specific verions like in a CVS. I also need to keep the old version around until corporate record retention policy indicate that it should be deleted. I have heard that Zope3 has this feature, but Zope3 is too far away. Plone seems to have a mechanism through CMFStaging, but how reliable is that? Can I migrate the document from the 2.x solution to the 3.0? Better yet, is there a DM type product out there? Paul

Threading gotchas?
by Andrew Veitch 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

I'm just about to do some threading in a Zope application. At the moment it relies on an external cron job or Xron to call a method reasonably regularly but I would like to use a Python thread instead. I'm not particularly bothered if the thread is called slightly late. I'm just wondering if there are any particular gotchas? Or will it work just as it does in ordinary Python? Andrew
