RE: [Zope] Optimisation fun and games

To be precise, best to build fcgi as a Shared Oject, so it becomes fastcgi.so to Apache - loaded in memory. Otherwise, it's an object within the Apache httpd object anyway.

Huh? What you talking bout, Willis? Apache has fcgi builtin. ZServer has fcgi built in. So there's nothing to exec. A request comes in, Apache makes a TCP connection to the ZServer FCGI port (well, to the loadbalancer of the fcgi ports, in our case), and does the request. Same thing that happens for proxy pass, only different port and protocol (http instead of fastcgi). The only difference is that with FCGI, the request _appears_ to be happening as though it had hit the ZServer directly, rather than via a proxy.

Authentication Problem
by Jordan Carswell 20 May '02

20 May '02

I just installed Zope 2.5 on an OS X server. I can log in with the original account and I can create new accounts. But when I try to log in using an account I created in the root users folder, I get the following response: "You are not authorized to access this resource. Username and password are not correct." The username and password are correct so the problem is something else. What that is, however, is beyond me. Does anyone have a clue what's wrong? Thanks, Jordan Carswell

question about <dtml-var foo fmt=structured-text>

Howdy, Escaping code doesn't seem to work. If foo is a DTML Document containing; The following is an example of dtml-var:: <dtml-var bar> Zope looks for bar. Am I missing something, or should fmt=structured-text obey the rules of structured text? Thanks, Kent

dtml-in function using input/text value
by Mark A. Robinson 20 May '02

20 May '02

Hi all, I swear I must be braindead. Having trouble passing the value stored in an Input/text control to a python function used in a dtml-in statement. The text box "asset_type_id" contains the value I wish to pass to the function "f_list_get_asset_type_cfg". The zope error is: "global name 'asset_type_id' is not defined" Following is the code I am currently using. <input name="asset_type_id" type="hidden" value="1"> <p> Asset Column Associations for the Selected Type of Asset<br> <TABLE border=1 id=Table1 name="Table1"> <dtml-in prefix="asset_type_cols" expr="f_list_get_asset_type_cfg(asset_type_id)"> <TR> <TD> <P><dtml-var col_name></P> <TD> <P><dtml-var column_name></P> </dtml-in> </TABLE> </p> Thanks!

should files be stored in RDBs?
by Charlie Fulton 20 May '02

20 May '02

I'm setting up a database to store data file for a scientific research group. I'm thinking of writing the data into a MySQL table rather than storing them externally in the filesystem. The files are generally small but the number of them will grow quickly. Are there opinions as to whether this is a good or bad idea? I know there's overhead and a (severe?) throughput penalty, but I was thinking this would be simple to manage (and back up) as well as being easy to search. The load on the server won't be much anyway. Can collecting binary data in a web form and writing it to MySQL be done totally in DTML? I've found some past threads in the list dealing with this kind of thing (and an old how-to) but there doesn't seem to be a consensus on a "right" way to implement it. Thanks, Charlie

Zsql: how to test len of results?
by Marc 20 May '02

20 May '02

Hi... How do I know the length of a Zsql method result? preferebly from the Zsql method itself, so I can do a update and test again for some results. What I really want is to garantee return results from questions DB. If userid is not answering already, get a new question. I've tried the following but it refuses to work: <dtml-var expr="len(sql_Get_question(user=AUTHENTICATED_USER))"> Zope say: global name 'len' is not defined Here some pseudocode in python (I'd prefer dtml code ,though): Hope is not too confusing :) # not eficient. Call function twice :( # if len (sql_Get_Question(userid)) < 1 : sql_New_Question(userid) return sql_Get_Question(userid).results #or something like: try: sql_Get_Question (userid) except: sql_New_Question (userid) finally: sql_Get_Question (userid) Any help would be greatly apreciated. I'm totally lost here :( Thanks in advance.

RE: [Zope] help before I have to dump zope

It wasn't a threat. You will note I stated, 'have to'. Trust me. After 6 weeks of developement to be 2 weeks from launch and discover a major problem with software foundational to the project brings out urgency as I am not personnally excited about having to move away from Zope. If I can't resolve the issue I will have no choice but to go to WebWare so that I can at least reuse some of the code. I didn't state it as a threat, it was not intended as a threat and if that was what was inferred I am not contrite. The subject was to show urgency as my previous emails on the subject went without notice or response. Someone at DC informed me that 2.4 is supposed to resolve the issue so I will have to try that. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Withers To: Pierce, Scott Cc: 'zope(a)zope.org' Sent: 5/20/2002 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] help before I have to dump zope So dump Zope then ;-) Chris - threats ain't a great way to solicit help...

Re: Virtual hosting How-To
by Josef Meile 20 May '02

> Are you using an older Zope? Actually I'm in the process of updating my Zope to the last version > In 2.5 a single Virtual Host Monster in the root > should be able to do the job much more simply. Actually I tried to use the Virtual Host Monster with my test site wich has the latest Zope version, but I couldn't get it work as I wanted: one or more virtual websites distributed through your Zope (not in one folder as many How-Tos do it). I found How-Tos wich talk about using it in conjunction with Apache but I won't install it. Is Apache necessary to get it work?. > If the basic Zope-only capabilities don't work > for you, check out > http://www.zope.org/Members/sfm/SiteAccessEnhanced. Actually, I don't like to install products that do virtual hosting. If Zope has a functionality that does it, why don't use it? Or if this product is necesary to do virtual hosting, then why is it not included with Zope? I also read the documents inside this product and found that they are the same as the ones here: http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess2/vhosting and if you see, they also recommend this old-style method as you call it. Anyway, if you point me to the right way, I could try your advice. Thanks for your reply, Josef.

help before I have to dump zope
by Pierce, Scott 20 May '02

I have a large number of DTMLFile objects generated within a product implemented like so: index_html = DTMLFile('www/index_html', globals()) standard_html_header = DTMLFile('www/standard_html_header', globals()) Tracks = DTMLFile('www/show_tracks', globals()) I can access these DTMLFile objects like so: http://someurl:8082/MyProduct/Tracks however, basic authentication does not follow, meaning, I always get anonymous user even after the browser prompts for credentials and I supply them. I am using zope 2.3.3 on a solaris box. I can't access these pages without the proper credentials, providing a user known in acl_folder with the proper role for viewing; however, the information is not provided in the REQUEST object so that I can use the user/role/permission info programmatically.
