Using pcgi and apache.
by eric cocozza 22 Oct '02

Hi, I've got a question about using PCGI with apache. According to the readme, i'm supposed to use a line like: python z2.py -p When I use this however I get a message stating that -p must have an argument. So, I set it to what is supposed to be the default: python z2.py -p ./Zope.cgi However, then it complains that the web port is busy... This is leaving me rather fustrated, as the point of -p is supposed to be to not use a port, and connect via apache when the cgi is loaded. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric _________________________________________________________________ Get a speedy connection with MSN Broadband. Join now! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/freeactivation.asp

"All Releases" incorrectly sorted
by Skip Montanaro 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

This is a trivial thing, but might occasionally trip up the version-naive. I noticed that on <http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope> the alpha a beta versions sort ahead of the final releases. This can probably be remedied easily by appending "final" to the various final release folders (e.g. "2.5.1final" or "2.6.0final"). Also, I'm posting here simply because the contact address for that page is listed as "zope(a)zope.org". Seems like a kind of odd contact address though. I suspect most people on this list won't actually be able to make this change. (Maybe it should be a zope developers' address?) -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com http://www.mojam.com/ http://www.musi-cal.com/

starting as a certain user
by Stephan Goeldi 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

I know that I can start the Zope service as a certain user by adding the option -u user to the start script. Now when i start Zope automatically at bootup through /etc/init.d/zope_instance_xy (which calls the start script), the process cannot be stopped by the user (-u user), because there exists 1 root process beside the user processes. The pid is not owned by the user. Did I miss something? Stephan

There's a thread on this earlier in the list, xmlrpclib changed in 2.6. There's now a compatible version in CVS and on Zope.org, enjoy. Oh and I made the meta_type filtering optional so wierd things like the CMF can be synced. -- Andy McKay www.agmweb.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jaroslav Lukesh" <lukesh(a)k-net.cz> To: "Adam Getchell" <AdamG(a)hrrm.ucdavis.edu>; "'Andy McKay'" <andy(a)agmweb.ca>; <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 12:53 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] Zsync errors > | Odesílatel: Adam Getchell <AdamG(a)hrrm.ucdavis.edu> > | Error: > | ProtocolError > | <ProtocolError for zopetest.hr.ucdavis.edu/STAGING: 500 Internal Server > | Error> > | Things to check: > | Your destination ZSyncer is where it is meant to be. > | The destination server is running and accessible. > | The user "zopeadmin" has the right to access ZSyncer. > | The password for "zopeadmin" is correct. > | > | I know the accounts in question have access rights, as I just logged on > | using them. > | > | So, your comment means that when I try to sync Zopedevel --> Zopetest, > which > | end is failing? > | > > I was get similar error, so you could check Override User with managers > Username and Password. > > Thats working for me, W95 <=> W2k both with Zope 2.5.1 and latest > (possibly) Zsyncer. > > Regards J.

Hi, I have the following code snippet: <dtml-in expr="view.sql_query_current_windows_version(p_custName=p_custName, p_inventory=p_inventory)"> <dtml-var current_windows_version> </dtml-in> I'd like to be able to check the value of 'current_windows_version' (which is sel in the ZSQL method) later in the code. Is there any way of assigning this value to a 'global' variable which I could read later? TIA, Micheál Healy

question about local roles
by Alexis Roda 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hi all, I have a dtml method a_method with access allowed to users having some_role, I have a folder a_folder where user1 has local role some_role. If, logged in as user1, I access .../a_folder/a_method I get an unauthorized error message. It seems to me like local roles are not acquired. Is this right or I'm doing something wrong? I'm running zope 2.5.1 on a debian woody system. TIA Regards -- //// (@ @) ---------------------------oOO----(_)----OOo------------------------ Los pecados de los tres mundos desapareceran conmigo.

Acquiring functions in ZPT
by Richard Wesley 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

I have been puzzling over how to apply Python scripts to various kinds of things in a page template. A simple example is a script I have called formatContactName that takes a name record and formats it as "last, first middle title suffix". In a page template this would get used like so: <span tal:content="object/formatContactName">placeholder</span> It appears that I can only do this for a very limited class of objects: It works fine for records obtained from a database query in the template itself, but it does _not_ work for a dictionary obtained from a SESSION variable or from the options parameter. Nor does it work for a page template. I currently use a table display macro for displaying database queries and I am having to pass in a list of column specifications via the options parameter which means that I am keeping display information in the form's Python script (bad design). My tentative solution was to add list properties (describing the columns) to the page and then write a script to turn the list of column descriptor fields into a list of rows of single column descriptions. I wrote the script (list_columns ) and tried to call it as above: <... tal:define="list_columns template/list_columns"...> and again I got a name resolution problem. This is a very handy facility, and I would like to make more use of it (writing methods like this to expand simple dictionaries is very appealing) but it seems to be mostly unavailable.

version control, deployment scenarios?
by Alexander Jerusalem 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hi all, I'm thinking about using Zope for the next version of the content management/e-learning platform that my organisation is building. The features of Zope are quite awsome. What I have not been able to make sure from the online documentation is if the development, version control and deployment scenario that we are currently using is possible with Zope. Our development team is dispersed across europe so: * Each of us has a development server at their work place * We all check the source files into a sourceforge CVS system. * We update the production server directly from the sourceforge CVS with a script. My question is, if this is a viable solution with Zope. I'm concerned that it might be a problem because I'm not sure if all tasks concerning source files like page templates, python scripts, etc can be done without using the Zope management interface. A solution where we'd have to use the Zope management interface would also be ok as long as it can be done for all changed/added/delete files at once. What I don't want to do is touch each and every added or changed file to import it into Zope. I would very much appreciate any comment or link to some how-to. Best Regards Alexander Jerusalem Vienna Knowledge Net
