newbies questions on ZODB
by Fabien Nkundabagenzi 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

I need to allow users to store large amounts of files (PDF, doc) in a database (or directory), with several information linked to the file (author, title, description ...). Then Index the content of the files to be able to search. Would it be advisable to use the ZODB to store these files (say more than 5.000 files or +/- 1 GB) ? How would you link the additional information to the file and catalog the whole file content ? If there are any additional plug-ins required, please advise. Thanks to you all.

Mandrake upgrade (8.1 -> 8.2) , can't connect to Zope
by Marcio Marchini 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Hi, I used to have Zope running ok as PCGI "behind Apache", under Linux Mandrake 8.1 After an upgrade to Mandrake 8.2, when I connect to Zope (same URL as before) I get this: ------------------- ! Temporarily Unavailable The resource you requested is temporarily unavailable - please try again later. C-Runtime errno: No such file or directory PCGI Error: (102) failure during connect to ZServer Explanation: The PCGI-wrapper program, spawned by Apache to handle the HTTP request via the standard CGI protocol, is unable to connect to the ZServer background process via Unix socket /var/run/pcgi.soc. ------------------- ls /var/run shows this: console/ iplog.pid proftpd/ syslogd.pid console.lock klogd.pid proftpd.pid usb/ crond.pid linuxconf.restartdb routes.current utmp drakxtools_http.pid netreport/ routes.current.bak webmin/ gpm.pid postmaster.pid runlevel.dir xfs.pid httpd-perl.pid prelude.pid sshd.pid xinetd.pid httpd.pid prelude_report.pid sudo/ And a Zope restart always shows this: [root@p200 cgi-bin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope restart Shutting down zope: [FAILED] Starting zope: [ OK ] A more /var/log/zope shows this (no timestamps, too bad) ImportError: No module named ZPublisher /usr/lib/python2.2/FCNTL.py:7: DeprecationWarning: the FCNTL module is deprecated; please use fcntl DeprecationWarning) Traceback (most recent call last): File "z2.py", line 540, in ? import ZServer File "/usr/share/zope/ZServer/__init__.py", line 138, in ? from HTTPServer import zhttp_server, zhttp_handler File "/usr/share/zope/ZServer/HTTPServer.py", line 116, in ? from PubCore import handle File "/usr/share/zope/ZServer/PubCore/__init__.py", line 86, in ? import ZRendezvous File "/usr/share/zope/ZServer/PubCore/ZRendezvous.py", line 87, in ? from ZServerPublisher import ZServerPublisher File "/usr/share/zope/ZServer/PubCore/ZServerPublisher.py", line 85, in ? from ZPublisher import publish_module ImportError: No module named ZPublisher If I go to KDE, Services, Mandrake believes Zope *is* running. A Google search on zope mandrake pcgi did not return anything useful to me. Any ideas anybody ? Maybe the Apache upgrade hosed something ? Thanks, marcio

I tried the files there and they still can't be found. Has anybody successfully installed PIL in Zope 2.5.1 under win32?

Object visibility...?
by Colin Fox 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Help! I have a python script, which calls a dtml-method, which invokes a zpt. The dtml-method is constructing an HTML email for me, and the zpt is the body of the email. I want to be able to have the dtml method use different page templates, so I can send different pages (each of these is a report). So for this I have a <dtml-var email>, and <dtml-var "_[reportid]"> variables. By scrounging around the web, and looking at other source, and some docs, I've gotten some of my DTML/email needs handled. But I'm stuck now. When I try to execute my python script, I get a KeyError on the page template I'm trying to load, even though the page template is in the same directory as the dtml-method. So, for example, the dtml-method is called 'sendreport', and the zpt I wish to send is called 'salessummary'. In the python script, I have this: args = {} args["email"] = container.get_recipient_list() args["reportid"] = "salessummary" container.sendreport(None, context.REQUEST, args) Firstly - I'm not sure why the 'None, context.REQUEST' arguments come first when invoking the DTML method, though it seems to work in another case I have, and I got this from some presumably working code. Can anyone point me to documentation on how a python script is supposed to invoke a DTML method? Secondly, when I do this, I get a KeyError on 'salessummary' - even though it's sitting in the same directory as the DTML method. This is *really* frustrating, as this seems to be counterintuitive behavior (based on Zope's hierarchy rules). Any help, suggestions or pointers (even a RTFM, as long as I know which FM to read) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Colin -- Colin Fox cfox(a)cfconsulting.ca CF Consulting Inc.

crashing zope and Redhat 7.2
by Rudi asn 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

I'm trying to set up a webserver on a Redhat 7.2 Intel server. At first I installed Zope 2.3 . Every time I tried to ftp to the server, the zope server crashed. Looking at zope.org, I found I should look for the correct python version and upgrade to zope 2.5. Now I got zope 2.5.1 installed. Whenever I am working at www.server.at/manage (for example creating a new user or a new folder) the server crashes and I have to reboot the whole system. Not only zserver crashes, the Redhat 7.2 crashes (no access with the console or network). I never(!!) experienced, that a linux computer crashes completely, I always thought only windows computer do this. My question: Does this look like a hardware problem (memory chips ?) or did anyone experience a similar problem? Ladinig Rudi Borg Innsbruck mail: r.ladinig(a)asn-ibk.ac.at

Namespaces, ZPublisher, DocumentTemplate question
by Andreas Kostyrka 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Hi! I've got a product that inherits from Folder, and creates some magic "content" by overriding __bobo_traverse__. Now I've got the problem that I cannot access the "magic" items from within a DocumentTemplate like in <dtml-var special>. The interesting thing is, that I've overloaded __getattr__ and __getitem__, and it seems both are never called. (Actual code snippets at the end) So I'm wondering how DocumentTemplates (and say Page Templates) access the items and properties? Andreas code snippet: def __getattr__(self,k,*args): r=Folder.Folder.__getattr__(self,k,*args) print "__getattr__(%r,%r)==%r" % (self,key,r) return r def has_key(self,key): r=Folder.Folder.has_key(self,key) print "%r.has_key(%r)==%r" % (self,key,r) return r def __getitem__(self,key): print "__getitem__(%r,%r)" % (self,key) try: return Folder.Folder.__getitem__(self,key) except KeyError: try: return self.__bobo_traverse__(self,None,key) except AttributeError: raise KeyError,key

I mean ZEO but it is not necessary to run it on a different server (host). ZEO will give you the ability to do ZODB related work in external Python scripts outside of Zope. Have a look at the "LocalProc" product. I do not know it myself, but it may help you to manage such off-loaded processes. Dieter PS: Please stay on the list.
