Upgrading 2.4.4 to 2.5.1: data migration problem with invisible Python Scripts
by Milos Prudek 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

To copy data from Zope 2.4.4 to Zope 2.5.1, I decided against moving Data.fs, and instead relied on the following procedure which somehow brought much pain as it created "invisible" Python Scripts: - Create a folder in 2.4.4. called 'export'. - Copy almost all content from root to 'export' (except acl_users, Control_Panel, QuickStart) - Export the 'export' folder to a file 'export.zexp' - Export my ZClasses to a .zexp file - Shutdown Zope 2.4.4 - Install and run Zope 2.5.1 - Import the 'export.zexp' - Move files from the 'export' folder to root. - Import the ZClasses. - Copy external methods from Zope 2.4.4 Extensions folder to Zope 2.5.1 Extensions folder This worked OK on my local setup (heavily patched RedHat 7.1, Python 2.1.3 compiled from sources), and it APPEARED to work well on the production server (some sort of Slackware, Python 2.1.3 compiled from sources). All ZODB content appeared to be OK, but calling any of many Python Scripts from a DTML method ended in an error "Global name <script_name> not found". Of course <script_name> was right there, and it was possible to access it through direct URL (http://myserver/<script_name>), but when it was called from a DTML method it always failed with "Global name <script_name> not found". I tried the following: - rename <script_name> to a different name, and use that change in the calling DTM method. Problem persists. - delete <script_name>, and push it from local server using ZSyncer. Problem persists. - delete <script_name>, create an empty Python Script with ZMI, and copy&paste source from local Zope ZMI. Problem disappears! The above was true for at least five Python Scripts that have exhibited this problem. -- Milos Prudek

was looking for ecommerce solution in zope -- hoping to have a secure way to do credit card authorizations. Looked around zope.org and the only thing there looks old, stale, not maintained any longer. anyone know of a good implementation to do credit card auth through authorize.net with zope? -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU 480-965-8257 ...the way is like water, going where nobody wants it to go

headache
by D. Rick Anderson 25 Jun '02

Arrggh. I'm stuck on somthing really simple here. I have the following statements in a method: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('periodsplit', _.str(period).split('-'))"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('dateYear', _.int(periodsplit[0]))"> If I set the var 'period' and view it directly it works just fine (period is in the format 2002-5), but if I call it from another object (methodname(_.None, _, period='2002-11')) it errors with: global name 'periodsplit' is not defined and the error points to the second call there. How can it not be defined? I just set it?!!? Is REQUEST.set not pushing those onto the namespace when called from another object? I've never had this problem before. TIA Rick

RE: [Zope] passing value to sql method question
by Kelley, Sean 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Thanks- this worked perfectly! <dtml-in expr="get_record(PermitNumber=PermitNumber)"> Subject: RE: [Zope] passing value to sql method question Hi Sean You are correct that you are inside the speech marks (""), you have to talk python rather than DTML. What you really want is: <dtml-in expr="get_record(PermitNumber=PermitNumber)"> Or if this is a ZSQL then it's even simpler: Just call it like: <dtml-in get_record> Subject: [Zope] passing value to sql method question Hi, Learning dtml and zope... I am trying to call an sql method called get_record and pass a parameter to it. This works if I hardcode the value into the dtml method like this: <dtml-in expr="get_record(PermitNumber=12345)"> However, The above line is in a dtml method called edit_dtml So I want to call edit_dtml from an html document like this: <a href="edit_dtml?PermitNumber=<dtml-var PermitNumber>"> <dtml-var Company null=""></a> The value of PermitNumber gets passed okay and can be displayed in the called page (edit_dtml) with: <dtml-var PermitNumber> But I need to plug it into the dtml-in expresssion something like this: <dtml-in expr="get_record(PermitNumber=<dtml-var PermitNumber>)"> But this generates a syntax error. There must be a correct way to do this. Any ideas on how else I might do it? I assume that the part after expr=" must be python code and this is why this does not work ??

you guys need to check the files on your server! everytime i try to download Zope-2.5.1*.tgz for linux, it actually saves as a .gz, which when i decompress is simply a file w/300000 plus lines of code--no install script no dirs, just plain text! what's more, when gave up on this, i downloaded the rpm, which installed everything except the ./start script and the executable! wtfo, i'd really like to explore zope but thus far it's really becomming a thorn in my side.

converting a manually run zope installation to a service
by Kristina Quimson Buenafe 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hello, I did the following steps (from http://twsite.bizland.com/twzop0002.htm) to try to convert my manually run Zope installation to a service, but it didn't work. Is there another way to do this, or did I miss something that I was supposed to do using the TechWorld site's way? thanks, Kristina Buenafe Converting a Manually Run Zope Installation to a Service Open the Registry Editor (Start Menu->Run-> regedit) Locate (or create) the following registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebSite\Parameters\Start Change the value from: "c:\WebSite\bin\python.exe" " c:\WebSite\z2.py" -S To: "c:\WebSite\bin\python.exe" "c:\WebSite\z2.py" -S -w 8079 -f "" -p "" -m "" Where c:\WebSite is the Zope path. An explanation of the various parameters can be found in the Z2.PY file in the Zope root. _________________________________ Kristina Buenafe University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science kqb7a(a)virginia.edu

Virtual Host Monster, CMF, logging
by Garry Steedman 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hello all, i have a CMF site which is mapped to a domain (say, www.mydomain.org) with the SiteAccess enhanced product's Virtual Host Monster. i am not using apache and do not want to. my problem is that the ZServer log writes requests for www.mydomain.org as '/' which makes it impossible to separate the log entries for this domain. does anyone know how to change the logging behaviour so that it writes the original client request into the log file, or at least gives me enough to make a clean separation? i have located the relevant logging code, but i'm unsure as to exactly what VHM does which changes its behaviour... cheers, Garry +-------------------------------------------+ Garry Steedman mailto:gs@styrax.com Styrax Associates http://www.styrax.com/ "The Good Man has no shape." +-------------------------------------------+

ZODBCDA broken in Zope 2.5 - help
by vsbabu＠vsbabu.org 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hello, We've an old system using Zope 2.1.6 that uses ZODBCDA to connect to an Access DB. We are in the process of upgrading Zope to 2.5.0. The latest ZODBCDA adaptor (on Win2K and Win98) gives broken product for this. The traceback is Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\ZOPE\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 531, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "D:\zopedata\Products\ZODBCDA\__init__.py", line 91, in ? File "D:\zopedata\Products\ZODBCDA\DA.py", line 92, in ? File "D:\zopedata\Products\ZODBCDA\db.py", line 86, in ? ImportError: DLL load failed: A device attached to the system is not functioning. I suspect it is because it can't find a file sql.dll. I couldn't find this file anywhere either. Does any one know a solution for this? Many thanks in advance - vsb
