using zope behind IIS?--help with IS dept.
by Kelley, Sean 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi, I am running zope 2.5 with the Zope server for my intranet. The company web (public) server is windows/IIS5. I want to use my zope server to provide some pages for the public on my zope server. Problem: IIS needs a physical folder to create a virtual directory in IIS. Zope does not have Windows directories that coincide with the folders that IIS/Windows needs. My IS department does not want to make my Zope server totally open on port 80 (because there are other internal items there as well). How can I securely serve a portion of my zope site within a windows/IIS network that does not require my entire internal/zope server to be totally accessible to everyone?

Zope & apache
by Gregory Dudek 05 May '03

05 May '03

Although some people have suggested that running zope standalone without apache is the recommended way to go, I have heard several people suggest that the Apache solution is preferred. There are a lot of "it depends" qualifiers here. What I've heard is that running Zope behind Apache may provide more better system security. I think the rationale is that apache is more heavily debugged. (This argument may be questionable, as you have two families of bug to deal with though.) It also allows you to run other kinds of apache-based service. It also provides maximum flexibility. A key issue is to configure your httpd.conf file that specifies apache's behaviour file with suitable rewrite rules so that some/most/all requests are handed off to zope instead of being dealt with by apache. At any rate, it's what I do. I believe there are (at least) 2 common ways of doing it. The one I selected is based on "PCGI". Essentially the zope process stays active and apache talks to it via a lightweight intermediate process. It's actually quite easy to set up. Try looking here http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zbook/book/VII/IntegraWebServers/ IntegraUnix/ZopeApacheIntegraPCGI/Drafts/954770544 for details or just search for "zope pcgi apache".

RE: [Zope] html_quote, quoting accents
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 05 May '03

05 May '03

Troy, OK, well for the purpose of this example, and where I'm starting, is with CMF Metadata, such as the title. A user enters the metadata using their regular keyboards and so on, which means the accented characters are typed in in ISO-8859-1, and stored as such I guess? (since technically this value isn't HTML, it should be stored in it's native character set) Now when I output the Title, it comes out in ISO-8859-1 properly, but I'd like to force it encoded as an HTML entity, so when a user enters the word "région" in the Title, it'll be entered/saved that way, and by default be output that way, but ... My understanding was that uting html_quote would transform that into "région" ... But it's not doing anything different for me. Same with entity notation, &dtml-Title; doesn't do the html_quoting either. This is using the default metadata templates, or close enough that changes I have made shouldn't matter (I've extended the metadata, but not modified the existing DC setup). Am I misunderstanding the purpose of this command? Or is there something else I'm not getting?

re: Google-like search results

ciao Fabio, I use an external method based on the one described in this how-to: http://www.zope.org/Members/Ioan/FastSiteSearch to achieve this. However, it requires a lot of text to be in metadata and may be the cause of my frequent memory errors and Zope crash/restarts. In fact if anyone could point me in the direction of a solution for that, or a source of info on the metadata-memory issue I would be very grateful ;-) Ken >Thus spake Fabio Rolando: > >I have a collection of docuements that are indexed and >automaticaally handled by Catalog.

this().aq_explicit() & this().document_src() - what is the relationship?
by Fabio Rolando 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi, I have a ZClass with DTMLDocument as base class. I made a DTMLMethod to display the contents of the Object with <dtml-var "this()"> but I got the HTML tag escaped (i.e. < transformed in < and so on) so I changed in <dtml-var "this().document_src()"> and it worked correctly, with the HTML rendered, but I got problems with unauthenticated user, getting the message Error.... document_src not allowed in this context. So I changed (practically by mistake!) to <dtml-var "this().aq_explicit()"> It works correctly with no authentication problem! Now I am happy, yet a bit frustrated because I could not find any document around helping me understanding the reason WHY it does work now! :-| I don't even understand what is the relationship between aq_explicit() and the contents of the document. Any pointer, suggestion, hint, whatever...? Thank you so much Fabio

Helo every body. I'm testing zope (2.5.1) and i would like to know your experience about this stuff. Is zope suceptible to dos attacks? Or is better to run behind Apache/Squid?

Hi. I have a collection of docuements that are indexed and automaticaally handled by Catalog. My search results interface now give information that are stored in the metatypes of the documents. I have to modify the results interface so that a short quote of the matching documents is displayed with the matching words in evidence. Something like the Google results page. Is there any product that can help me impementing this funzionality? Thank you all Fabio

XML + HTTP == XML-RPC
by Toni Andjelkovic 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi, I'm using Zope 2.6.1 with ZServer listening to port 80. I need to receive XML documents via HTTP POST. Unfortunately, ZPublisher assumes that POST requests with a content-type of "text/xml" must be XML-RPC, so it tries to parse them accordingly, which fails. I'd be grateful for suggestions on how to solve this elegantly. Thanks, -- Toni Andjelkovic <toni(a)soth.at>

Hey there, I'm using linux 8.0 with KDE Desktop. I've got zope running on a medusa server at the moment, the one it came with. I've also got an apache server running and I was wondering how I can integrate the zope interface to be used with my linux apache server. I'm a total linux nub so go easy on me . ~Mosquito
