Help!- locked out of my Zope
by Dave Feasey 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Forgive me I'm a newbie- also not too up on UNIX or Apache (taking the Crash course here...) Have a virtual private server on FreeBSD behind Apache. Installed Zope, got it working with one of my virtual hosts, thanks to the docs. Was working in the VH and accidentally created a DTML method that called itself- infinite loop- and before I could stop that, BAM! The database gets wiped out back to the install version with nothing. I go into Undo (probably unwise move here, but I was upset) and try to back out of the install, thinking that somehow a new install got triggered. This was last Friday. since then I've tried everything I can to ./stop ./start, reinstall, uninstall, use zpasswd to change the access and inituser files, comment out LoadModule line for FastCGI, etc. Zope, some version is still running but I cannot log in- period. Read in an FAQ somewhere that, uh, now I can't remember what it told me to do, something about permissions. Then I saw something about both Zope and Apache needing permissions for PCGI, or at read / write on zope.soc with fastCGI. Any help greatly appreciated.

Making a folder-like object?
by Yves Bastide 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

The Subject line is not the question; it's only a possible start-of-answer... I'm building an application, using Zope and a database, where users can upload files. These files are stored as BLOBs in the DB, not in the ZODB. The problem is to get back the filename when a user downloads a file. I. e., I'll have things like: <a href="http://my.host/retrieve?id=42">results.xls</a> where ``retrieve´´ is the script. I would like instead to be able to present an address like: <a href="http://my.host/retrieve/42/results.xls">results.xls</a> This is the only way I know of to pass the filename to the client (though I'd be happy to be corrected). So: Is this possible directly? Otherwise, should I start hacking, e.g., Gary Poster's FakeFolder, or are there better ways? Thanks, Yves [Please CC: me answers as I'm not on the list]

exUserFolder with smb - zope 2.5 hangs up
by Harry Winkelmann 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hello, i'm using ... exuserfolder 0.10.7 in a subfolder zope 2.5 smb authentication null property null membership Authentication works as much as i can see fine (i checked the smb frames with eathereal). Login works only, if there is already the same username in root acl_user. But it only works one time. If i try to visit a second site zope hangs up. How does zope know, what roles this smb_user has ? Tries exuserfolder to use the roles from root_acl_user ? How can i define Users without having them in root_acl_users ? Thanks for some postings, Harry

Zope Object Contexts and Acquisition
by Timo A. Hummel 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hi all, I know that this topic has been rolled up several times, but I've only found rather "bad" examples. Imagine a simple site: /folder1 /folder2 /folder3/folder4 We also the method "buildMenu" in the root: <dtml-in expr="objectValues(['Folder'])"> <some output code> </dtml-in> So if we call buildMenu from the root, it works as expected, and renders: folder1 folder2 folder3 But when called from folder1, it renders nothing, since there are no folders. But the question is: Is it possible to tell objectValues that it should perform relative to the "buildMenu" method rather than using the parent object (for example, index_html in folder1?). Of course, having a PARENTS[-1] is a workaround, but not a real solution. Is there a possibility to tell objectValues WITHOUT an absolute reference to something that it should work relative to buildMenu? Best regards, Timo -- Timo A.

What is "default__class_init__"?
by Peter Bengtsson 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Can anybody tell me what you use "default__class_init__" from Globals for? I've seen it used many times in python products but never really understood its use. Is it used in conjunction with setting the "__ac_permissions__" property? If so, using the more modern "AccessControl.ClassSecurityInfo()", is there no need for "default__class_init__" anymore? Curious, Peter

ISO-8859-1 problem on this Mailing List Messages

Hi, in the digest messages from the list, there are quite often "snippets" like this: Message: 27 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 16:29:04 -0300 From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9s=20S=E1nchez=20G=F3mez?= <asg(a)rakar.com> To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] ExtDocument [........] Thanks Andr=E9s S=E1nchez G=F3mez EcMess.com caused by some "piece" in the mail chain that "does not understand" charsets. Any hint? Thanks, Luca PS I get mail from a POP server (using Linux machine, I suppose), my box is Debian with exim and the reader is Vm (Emacs).

RE: [Zope] The suits are taking away my Zope! - IT WORKS!
by Dunigan, Craig 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

IT WORKS!! It's very slow, and I still have to work out some authentication issues, but I just successfully attached a file in Outlook 2000. ZEO is storing the file, Zope is serving it, davfs is mounting the whole site as a filesystem, Samba is exporting it, and all Windows has to do is map the SMB share and let Outlook access it. Here's what I have: RedHat 7.2 (2.4.9 kernel), davfs 0.2.3, Samba 2.2.1, Zope 2.5.0, ZEO 1.0b5. On the client side, Win2000SP2, Office2000SP2. For those that are interested, WebDrive on the client did the job much better than this server setup, but I'm still doubtful that they'll let me insist on a client-side solution. I still may not win the fight, but at least I now have more ammunition. Thank you so much to all who chimed in.

did you install the pcgi component? -----Original Message----- From: Ron Arts [mailto:raarts@office.netland.nl] Sent: Friday, 1 March 2002 11:16 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Installation problem: /manage You are not authorized to ac cess this resource Hello, I have just installed Zope, http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi works, but http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage does not let me in. Here's what I did: I Took a clean RedHat 7.2 install rpm -Uvh Zope-2.4.3-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh Zope-pcgi-2.4.3-1.i386.rpm /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start cp /var/zope/Zope.cgi /var/www/cgi-bin cd /var/zope zpasswd access (Fill in user, passwd, SHA encryption) I searched the docs, the mailinglists, found various things (some things about mod_rewrite rules and mod_fcgi), but I *can* login so I guess most of it is working. My guess is I need to add something to the apache configuration to pass authentication headers to Zope. Correct? I tried: RewriteEngine on ReWriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^/(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) /var/www/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,L] But that did not work. I must be missing something here. Thanks, Ron Arts

Why would you manually add to a Vocabulary
by Joel Burton 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

In the No Starch Book_of_Zope, they walk through the API for manually adding a word to a vocabulary. Why would you want to do this? I don't understand what advantage you would get here.
