You ran start but didn't throw it in the background, so your shell will sit there waiting for output from the start command. Did you see some messages about it listening on port 8080 for the web server and 8021 for the ftp server before that Unix socket message?

When you started it as root the first time, the ownership of the files in <ZopeInstall>/var were changed to the root user. Non-root users will now be unable to write to files like Data.fs and Z2.pid. chown those files to the user you'll be running Zope as. > basically i can't bet to > mymachine.com:8080/manage > So I haven't got this up and running yet. > > I would greatly appreciate any Advice on this. > > Thank you in Advance, > jESSE Good luck, Erik

SiteAccess b0rked my Zope
by Adam Haberlach 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

So, last week I was here asking how I could get my virtualhosted intranet to show up correctly (ie, remove the 'intranet' that was getting prepended to the file portion of the absolute URLs). Someone suggested SiteAccess, which looks to be exactly what I needed. I put a SiteRoot object into what I think is the correct place, and now the intranet looks just like it should when I visit. HOWEVER, now when I try to select the intranet's directory in the Zope management interface, it sems to refer me to the root directory instead. All the other ones seem to work correctly. Since I cannot get into the intranet's directory, I cannot remove the SiteRoot rule, or even fix it. Any ideas? -- Adam Haberlach | Who buys an eight-processor machine and then adam(a)newsnipple.com | watches 30 movies on it all at the same time? http://newsnipple.com | Beats me.

Source of error corrections for The Zope Book
by Richard Barrett 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Maybe it is just me but in trying to follow example in The Zope Book I seem to find things that do not match the reality of live Zope - just straight factual errors. Does anyone know whether the authors have published any corrections to the published text in a web accessible form. I've lloked at the PDF version of the book's text but that doesn't seem to be any different to the text on paper. In some cases I have figured out what incantation I should use instead of the one on the printed page but I would be a lot happier seeing some corrected text to confirm my fumbling guesses.

RE: [Zope] adding users
by Joshua Lanza 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

I did this by customizing the join_form and register dtml methods in portal_skins, but that would be applicable only if you are using CMF. Otherwise, look at your acl_users folder, and the code that it is using when the Add button is clicked. If you want to do this without an html form, then look at the python source to see the method you need to call, in this case "manage_users". I find this method in User.py --> def manage_users(self,submit=None,REQUEST=None,RESPONSE=None) I believe that you can use something like <dtml-call expr="acl_users.manage_users(...)"> The params for the method can be found in the form fields in the Add User form.

Python/Zope + Alpha/Redhat == Memory Bloat?
by Stefan H. Holek 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

I am observing the following phenomenon: Develop a Zope site on Intel/Redhat. Takes about 40MB RAM. Deploy the site on Alpha/Redhat. Contantly grows, easily eating 1GB (!) of RAM until it hits the swap and we restart Zope! All this with the same versions of Python/Zope/Products on Intel and Alpha. I see that with all Zopes (2.3.0-2.4.3) and all Pythons (1.5.2-2.1.2) in all our Projects (and quite different they are). My admins are out of ideas, say they tried everything (different compilers, gcc alpha patches, ...). We also tested Tru64 but could't even get Python going well (lockups, segfaults, out-of-memory conditions). Anybody successfully - that is without obscene memory consumption - running Python/Zope on Alpha processors? Grateful-for-even-the-smallest-hint-ly yours, Stefan

Fixing PDF downloads
by Simon Brogden 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Hi All, Our site has a number of PDF's (1-1.3MB) that we want people to be able to download. I gather from previous posts on this list that this can't be done with certain versions of Zope (we're hosting with 2.4.2 on Linux). I've seen that the errors surrounding this issue have been fixed in the latest development release and was wondering if there's a monkey patch (kudos to whoever came up with that term, we like it here) available to just fix this issue. I don't want the sites we host to be served with a dev. release, we just want that particular fix if possible. The documents themselves are created from word files, but I don't want to have to resort to putting these on the site as we're forcing the reader to own ms word and wait forever to download them. Converting them to HTML would be quite time consuming (there's no way I'm going to use the HTML output from word) and our need is getting pressing. I've also got to convince our ISP to apply the patch, if one exists, so I'd be grateful for any help or advice the list can provide. Thanks for your time, Simon.
