RDFSummary problem
by Zanotti Michele 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

Hi all, I'm using Eionet's RDFSummary. I have Zope 2.6 on win2kpro, and my lan has a MS proxy server with authentication. If I start Zope with the start.bat I can connect, for example, to this page: http://www.polare.com/news/HPE/xml/feeds/86/186.xml, but if I start Zope as service, when I try to connect to the same RSS url, I have this error: Error Type: URLError URLError: <urlopen error (10061, 'Connection refused')> Can anyone explain this? Thanks, Michele

RE: [Zope] Apache and zope
by Tiller, Michael (M.M.) 05 Feb '03

I a newbie and using ideas like the ones on that web page, my attempts at redirection have not been very successful. Perhaps somebody can point out what I'm doing wrong? What I have found is that you can setup redirection with your web server. But the problem is that Zope sometimes uses absolute links which cause problems. For example, lets say I have http://www.abc.foo/new-site redirected to http://www.xyz.foo:8080. I made a SiteRoot at the toplevel of my Zope site, but I still be problems because Zope generates HTML that includes references like "/misc_/..." or "/p_/..." or "/manage_zmi_logout". As a result, the browser looks for http://www.abc.foo/manage_zmi_logout but http://www.abc.foo isn't a Zope site (likewise for "/misc_" and "/p_"). The article you mention doesn't cover these details. So my question is: a) Am I doing something stupid (quite possible)?!? b) If not, what is the exhaustive list of things I need to have special redirection rules for and/or c) Why isn't Zope smarter about this?!? Like I said, I'm a newbie and I've been trying to find information on this but I haven't been successful. If somebody can just point me to the right resource, that might help me a lot. -- Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: Oliver Marx [mailto:Oliver@tekk.dk] > Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 8:54 AM > To: Mario Bianchi > Cc: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope] Apache and zope > > > Yes > > http://www.zope.org/Members/regebro/Zope_and_Apache > > Search Zope-site for Zope Apache > > \Oliver > > -- > Direktør / Managing Director > Oliver Marx > > TEKK > Lyngbyvej 20 > DK-2100 København Ø > > Main: +45 39 15 80 60 > Direct: +45 39 15 80 62 > > http://www.tekk.dk > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

Hi everybody, is it possible to have apache running as the front-end web server on machine A and Zope running as the back-end app server on machine B (distinct from A)? Thanks, Mario. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

threading problems in zope
by sameer chaudhry 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

I am at my wits end trying to figure this problem out as it works only in python but doesn't work in zope. Basically, I have a product that starts of a new thread in the init method which performs a long computation and when it's done it updates a value in the main thread. The thread is supposed to run forever as it's in a while loop that sleeps and runs the computation, yet the computation is only performed once. Can anyone shed some light on whether there are problems using Zope with our own threads? I did look at ZODB code, but it didn't help. Following is the relevant code of my product. Let me know why the thread only runs once and not forever. Thanks. class ServerManager(SimpleItem): "AServerManagerClass" meta_type = "ServerManager" def __init__(self, id): self.id = id self.status_dict = {} update_thread = threading.Thread(target=self.update_values) update_thread.setDaemon(1) update_thread.start() self.__changed__(1) def view_status(self, REQUEST): "returns status" return self.status_dict def update_values(self): while(1): result = main_result() #some external method self.status_dict = result self.__changed__(1) time.sleep(100) -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife

Roles design question
by Thierry Florac 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

Hi, I'm working on a Zope intranet site involving several Zope products that I have written, like : - Branch, - DocsManager, - NewsManager, - EventsManager A branch is a Folder subclass, and a container for the other "Manager" products. Access rules are quite complex in several cases, but I can define several roles : - webmaster - manager - contributor - visitor My problem is that : - some roles are only defined in the context of a Manager (for example, 'Contributor' or 'Visitor'), - access rights are sometimes defined at the 'Branch' level. Until now, what I did is : - define 'webmaster' and 'manager' in the '__ac_roles__' list of Branch - define 'contributor' and 'visitor' in '__ac_roles__' of Managers. Finally (!!), my questions are : - is this the best way to design and implement my roles ? - can I define permissions at the Branch level (with manage_permission) for roles which are not present in '__ac_roles__' ? And if so, are these permissions acquired in the usual way ?? Thanks for any help, Thierry -- Linux every day, keeps Dr Watson away... http://gpc.sourceforge.net -- http://www.ulthar.net

Installing Python Packages on Win32
by Samir Mishra 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

Hello all, I'm attempting to install 1-2 packages using Win32 Python installers. The installers need 1 or more registry settings to be able to identify where Python 2.1 is located. Since these are not automatically installed by Zope, I was hoping to do this manually. Please could someone help me out with this? I'm aware that installing packages generally not recommended for security reasons, but I'd like to be able to do this. IN particular, I'd like to install the PIL package. This information may be available in the mail archives, I just didn't find it on my first preliminary scan. Thanks. Samir

Security: allow manage_changeProperties globally
by Milos Prudek 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

If "Manage properties" permission is allowed for Anonymous, is it a security breach? In other words, is it possible to put manage_changeProperties in a URL? I tried http://www.somewhere.com/somedocument/manage_changeProperties?title=xxx, it run successfully but title remained intact... I need to increment a document property "number of readers". Is it safer to disable "Manage properties" for Anonymous and to assign Proxy role "Manager" to the method that calls manage_changeProperties and increments number of readers? -- Milos Prudek

quoting in Z2.log
by Dennis Allison 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

I post process the Z2.log file to gather some specialized usage data. I have a few examples of log postings which don't conform to the cgi-standard even though the data either originates from a form (<textarea> typically) or is appended to a redirect action in the usual ?name=value&name=value... form. Values are all passed through quote_plus. The observed effect is the presence of unquoted carriage-returns (well, actually newlines as the local environment is Linux) in the logfile. Can anyone suggest where they are coming from?
