Hey, IT'S WORKING! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, EVERYONE!! I decided to turn my firewall program back on since I wasn't getting anywhere with Zope. Then I did what Joel instructed in the original message below. The moment I hit return after the command string, a lot of Zope info showed up in the command window AND the firewall program asked me if i wanted to allow python.exe to access the internet. After i answered "yes," I tried to access the zope manager and it came up!!! Here's a synopsis of the entire situation: Zope V 2.4.3 Windows XP IE 6.0 Unable to access Zope control panel/manager at the following urls (Browswer says "Page cannot be displayed"): - http://localhost:8080/manage - http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage - http://joplop-alpha:8080/manage (joplop-alpha is what showed up after requesting localhost info in a command prompt) Unable to access Zope QuickStart at following urls (Browswer says "Page cannot be displayed"): - http://localhost:8080/ - http://127.0.0.1:8080/ - http://joplop-alpha:8080/ First installed it as a service, didn't work, uninstalled it. Reinstalled it as manual start-up, didn't work, uninstalled it. Reinstalled it as a service, not currently working. Screenshot of start.bat: http://lunamanium.com/startbat.gif - i've let it sit for twenty minutes No firewall program running. Here's a screenshot of what is running on the computer: http://lunamanium.com/netstat.gif There is nothing using the ports that Zope is supposed to be using. Admin Tools > Services - Zope isn't started and it won't stay started; clicking 'Start' brings up following message: "The Zope service WebSite on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service." Opened command line and typed: c:\Program Files\WebSite>start.bat -D This triggered Zope to start and now it's working. I'm really excited about getting to use Zope at home. When I know more about Zope, I hope I will be able to help others like I've been helped.

Hello again! After reading the many informative and helpful messages regarding my situation, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and decided to get some p2p help. Today at work I asked my boss for help and he was glad to help me. Since Zope is installed on windows NT there, he went through many settings and areas with me, showing me things to try when I got home. Now that I'm home, here's what has been happening: By means of the Services panel, I found that Zope wasn't started on my home machine. After I clicked 'Start' a progress bar filled then disappeared. Then a pop-up window told me: "The Zope service WebSite on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service." The only option the window gave was to click 'OK.' I clicked 'OK' and changed the startup type to Manual. After clicking 'Start' the same thing happened. I changed the startup type back to Automatic. I then opened a command line and typed in the following: netstat -an and found nothing on port 8080, 8021, or 8090. I think that's because Zope wasn't started, but I'm no wiz at this. Then I ran start.bat and let it sit for twenty minutes hoping some of the advice about windows taking a long time to start Zope would prove pertinent to my situation. It didn't change from my previous screenshot (http://lunamanium.com/startbat.gif) The questions I have now are: a. Can I force Zope into doing some work so windowsXP doesn't stop it automatically? If so, how? b. Would changing the port Zope is supposed to run on help at all? c. Would upgrading help? My boss told me about the page template feature and it sounds very intriguing so I may upgrade anyway. d. Is there hope for me and Zope? Thank you all very much for your kindness and your assistance.

New to Zope and a dumb question
by John Gilger 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

I searched the archives, but must not have used the correct search terms because I didn't find the answer :( Can Zope be run on a web-site provided by an ISP like Earthlink or MSN? If so, could someone point me to the "how-to"? TIA John _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Using ZSQL Results in python: "dictionaries" property doesn't exist
by Igor Leturia 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Hi all! I am trying to use the "Results" variable returned by any ZSQL method in a python script, as shown in this how-to: http://www.zope.org/Members/spinwing/ZSQL_Results . The thing is I can access Results.names() and Results.data_dictionary() as shown in the examples there, but not Results.dictionaries(). It says that the property doesn't exist. Any ideas?

Re: How can I call a ZSQL method in <dtml-if> tag?
by jlagarde＠bigfoot.com 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Jean, Figure I should be a contributor to this list once in a while, and that's an easy one... Problem is that CountCrew used in expr="" is a reference to the method, not the result of calling it, so what you really want is CountCrew(), and actually, since ZSQL methods always return sequences, CountCrew()[0]. As for the weird behavior you got: 1) CountCrew will indeed always evaluate to true (it's a function) 2) CountCrew == 1 will always evaluate to false because functions generally do not equal numbers ;-) Cheers, Jean --- In zope@y..., Jin Chen <jchen@n...> wrote: > Hi there, > > I am a newer to zope application.

ER: [Zope] Using ZSQL Results in python: "dictionaries" property doesn't exist
by Igor Leturia 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

You're right, Dieter, I'm using ZODBCDA. So now, to solve my problem I need to do do one of these two things: 1) Solve the bug in ZODBCDA, which I don't think I am capable of. Could you or anyone give me some help on it? 2) Use whatever ZODBCDA uses instead of dictionaries (I suppose Results returns the records in some field with another name). Does you or anyone know the name of the field ZODBCDA uses instead of dictionaries? Or is there a way to know the properties or fields of an object in Python? If there is, then I would use it to get the public properties or fields of the Results object and then I could try and see which of them holds the records of the query.

Help for duplicate key (?) error
by Zanotti Michele 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Hi all, Excuse if this is a trivial problem. I have Zope 2.5 on NT 4.0. When I'm working on an object in ZMI and click on the view tab I have a Key error. If I open a new window browser (IE6) I can work regularly, but after some time I have this error again. Thanks to anyone can explain this error to me.

DTML in Product WWW does not bring images
by zope news 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Hello Fellow Zopers, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with doing the following: When creating your own zope product ( I guess what I mean by this is placing a python class in /lib/python very much like OFS or mxm or the like ) and using DTMLFile( view, globals ), my view.dtml file has images that I wish to use, but I have no idea where to place those images so that zope will find them -- can someone give me a clue, please. Thanks ahead of time for your help, Luis.

Help needed with __bobo_traverse__
by jkinsley 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Greetings, I have a Product, myObject, that is acting as a Site Root (containing a Site Root object). So now http://localhost/myObject/rest/of/path/ is accessable as http://localhost/rest/of/path/ Now then I want to add an optional 'virtual sub-object' in the path so that when http://localhost/refid/rest/of/path/ is called the following will happen. 1. I can extract refid (the virtual sub-object) 2. Do a database lookup with refid 3. Set session data based on lookup results 4. Return a response as if http://localhost/rest/of/path/ were called without the refid segment in the path I have created a __bobo_traverse__ method in myObject and accomplished the first three steps, but I have no idea what to return to complete step four. Any help will be greatly appreciated since I have spent the last eight hours trying to figure this out. Regards, Jarrod Kinsley
