starting zope problems
by Allen Crawford 06 Nov '02

06 Nov '02

Hello, This is my first post and it's because I'm having problems (surprise!). Anyway, I've been tasked with restoring Zope because it became corrupted some how and I had zero experience with Zope prior to this project. Here's the background info: Zope crashed. I have tape backups of the Data.fs file, which I've read is OK to backup while Zope is running. I've restored the Data.fs file and had many, many problems getting it to work. Eventually my boss decided to upgrade Zope. We're now running 2.5.1 (I have no idea what version we were running prior). We're using Debian Linux and used the Debian package of Zope for the initial install as well as the upgrade. Anyway, eventually I figured out that there was an invalid transaction header in the file, so I truncated it prior to that transaction. Then I tried starting Zope and it detected a truncated file and did its magic and appeared to actually start, but with two problems that I see. The first is that when I run "/etc/init.d/zope start", it never returns me to the command prompt. It does one of two things-either just says "Starting Zope..." and never moves from that, or it mentions how I have a deprecated version of something (I can't remember what right now and it hasn't happened lately). After waiting for over an hour, I usually press CTRL+C and it will spit out some more text and shut down Zope. The second issue is that when I actually hit the Zope page in the web browser, I don't really get what we normally would see. What I get is this: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 114, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 159, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: dav) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 98, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 88, in mapply (Object: index_html) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 39, in call_object (Object: index_html) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 127, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 473, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 120, in __call__ (Object: navigation) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 411, in __call__ (Object: navigation) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 340, in cook (Object: navigation) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 170, in parse (Object: navigation) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 223, in parse_block (Object: navigation) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 170, in parse (Object: navigation) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 239, in parse_block (Object: navigation) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 58, in parse_error (Object: navigation) Document Template Parse Error: (see above) Finally, my zope-debug.log file shows this: ------ 2002-11-06T16:47:12 INFO(0) zdaemon zdaemon: Wed Nov 6 11:47:12 2002: Houston, we have forked ------ 2002-11-06T16:47:12 INFO(0) zdaemon zdaemon: Wed Nov 6 11:47:12 2002: Hi, I just forked off a kid: 411 ------ 2002-11-06T16:47:12 INFO(0) zdaemon zdaemon: Wed Nov 6 11:47:12 2002: Houston, we have forked ------ 2002-11-06T16:50:43 INFO(0) ZODB Opening database for mounting: '144954144_1036532496.793743' ------ 2002-11-06T16:50:43 INFO(0) ZODB Mounted database '144954144_1036532496.793743' at /temp_folder ------ 2002-11-06T16:50:44 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Wed Nov 6 11:50:44 2002 Hostname: escher.mailcode.com Port: 9673 ------ 2002-11-06T16:50:44 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Wed Nov 6 11:50:44 2002 Hostname: escher Port: 8021 ------ 2002-11-06T16:50:44 INFO(0) ZServer PCGI Server started at Wed Nov 6 11:50:44 2002 Unix socket: /var/lib/zope/var/Z2-pcgi.soc Does anybody have any tips for me?

ZPT issues
by Tom Deprez 06 Nov '02

06 Nov '02

Hi, I'm not sure how to implement something with ZPT and need your advice: I'll do my best to explain the problem, but I'm not sure if I will succeed, since it is not easy to show. I've a site which has several folders, they all follow the same strategy. Basicly what you have is a page with the top half some general information. The bottom half is split in two 'panes': the left contains a list of items, the right contains more information of the selected item. People can delete/edit/look a selected item. Depending on what people want to do, the right bottom 'pane' has to be different. Every action is in a different folder, so the layout looks like: Root ... Lists Flowers Delete Edit Insert Boats Delete Edit Insert ... Now, I'm implementing this in PT, but I'm a little stuck here, since it seems ZPT can't stack. eg I've a master PT which defines the general layout (menus) and contains slots, situated in the root. The slots are toppane (to fill in the toppane) and bottompane (to fill in the bottompane). To be correct, I should create a new master page for the 'Flowers' & 'Boats' folders, because they have a different layout, namely 'top pane', 'bottom left pane', 'bottom right pane'. But when I do this, aren't I then overruling the way for what PT were designed? If I now want to change the layout of my site, I have to change 2 pages (and who know how much more if we go further into detail). Changing 2 isn't that bad, however, most of the parts are in fact the same! The menu handling etc is the same... I was wondering if it is possible to have PT which can inherit from another PT, but can extend it with new slots/macros. Which is at the moment not possible, I think. Thanks in advance, Tom.

xmlrpclib, TypeError, "Too many arguments"
by Tim Hicks 06 Nov '02

06 Nov '02

ZopeCrew, I'm using xmlrpc between two zope instances (well, actually, between 1 instance during development). Things were working well and I was able to call remote methods and get the return values. However, today, I made a few changes to my code (on both the client and the server side), and now I'm only getting 'Fault's back when the methods are called over xmlrpc. So, I have my Server class and my Client class. Server has method objects created dynamically, thus: class Method: def __init__(self, obj, method): self.obj = obj self.method = method def __call__(self, *args, **kw): method = getattr(self.getCurrentConverter(), self.method) return apply(method, args, kw) class Server(...): def manage_afterAdd(self, item, container): for each_string in aList: setattr(self, each_string, Method(self, each_string)) This setup works when the methods are called directly from zope. The method that gets fetched within the __call__ has the following call signature: def word2html(self, file, b64, cleanup=1, tidy=1, *args, **kw) and I know that I'm passing the right number of parameters over the wire via xmlrpc because I've used Shane Hathaway's TCPWatch program to verify (see below). However, I keep getting TypeError:"Too many arguments" returned in my Fault message. Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong? tim [00:00.000 - client 137.222.10.83:3511 forwarded to is-webz.bris.ac.uk:8080] [00:00.000 - server connected] POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0 Host: is-webz.bris.ac.uk:4444 User-Agent: xmlrpclib.py/0.9.8 (by www.pythonware.com) Content-Type: text/xml Content-Length: 31414 AUTHORIZATION: Basic dGltOnVwb3J0YWw= <?xml version='1.0'?> <methodCall> <methodName>word2html</methodName> <params> <param> <value><string>0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAA [snip a whole load of base64 encoded stuff] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA </string></value> </param> <param> <value><int>1</int></value> </param> <param> <value><int>1</int></value> </param> <param> <value><int>1</int></value> </param> </params> </methodCall>

ZCatalog reindexing fails

Hi, I'm trying to reindex the SearchableText index in my portal_catalog. After clicking on reindex and waiting a short time an Attribute Error occurs saying "getUserById" the error log has the following traceback: --- Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Products.ZCatalog.ZCatalog, line 472, in manage_reindexIndex Module Products.ZCatalog.ZCatalog, line 457, in reindexIndex Module Products.CMFCore.CatalogTool, line 232, in catalog_object Module Products.ZCatalog.ZCatalog, line 500, in catalog_object Module Products.ZCatalog.Catalog, line 295, in catalogObject Module Products.ZCatalog.Catalog, line 403, in recordify Module Products.CMFDefault.DublinCore, line 104, in Creator Module AccessControl.Owned, line 87, in getOwner AttributeError: getUserById --- I'm using Zope 2.6.0 + CMF 1.3 + Plone1.0b2 and LDAP Authentication. There seems to be a problem with a username I think. How can I make Zope print (perhaps in a file) which name that is? Or could this error have another reason? I would appreciate any help!! regards Lars
