Zope instance not serving website - Site Error
by Matthew Moore 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hi, My rather old Zope2 server crashed yesterday and took down the one website that it was still serving. The site now just throws out the following error: "Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Debugging Notice Zope has encountered a problem publishing your object. Cannot locate object at: http://www.legulcerforum.org/news/folder_listing Troubleshooting Suggestions The URL may be incorrect. The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. For more detailed information about the error, please refer to the error log. If the error persists please contact the site maintainer. Thank you for your patience. (Also, the following error occurred while attempting to render the standard error message, please see the event log for full details: main_template)" Part of the site is accessible, a zope based photo gallery and the ZMI (management interface), but the main part of the site isn't working, it just throws out the above error. I've restored the whole instance from backups and I still get the same error, so I don't think the problem is with the instance (but I'm totally new to zope, so willing to be told I'm wrong). When running the instance in the foreground - zopectl fg, I get the following - http://pastebin.com/bhBp7AXf I'm honestly not sure exactly what version of zope it is, because when I start poking around in the ZMI, I get the above error. Python is 2.4.3. The server is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Zope hasn't been installed through the package manager. I've never really used zope before, this is something I've inherited from a previous sysadmin. I'm happy to RTFM and try things out (this is the only site on this server and I have fairly decent backups) but my zope/python knowledge is pretty minimal, so sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

charset problems (utf-8)
by Hugo Ramos 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Yellow, I've noticed charset problems displaying HTML pages. Let's say I want to display a page using a DTML Method like this: <html> <head> ... </head> <body> á Á à À ç </body> </html> This page is ok and I can see the portuguese letters fine. The problem starts when I do this: <html> <head> ... </head> <body> á Á à À ç <br> <dtml-var sometextfield> </body> </html> The first line of characters shows some strange characters and the sometextfield shows up fine even if it has the same portuguese characters. sometextfield comes from a mySQL server using utf-8 as charset and collation. zope.conf has the following: rest-input-encoding utf-8 rest-output-encoding utf-8 The browsers also have UTF-8 as the encoding (safari, firefox and chrome) all show me the same problem. I also noticed some strange behavior... If I create "á Á à À ç" as a property field using ustring and call it as <dtml-var someproperty> also gets fine in the browser. Anyone seen this??? Double encoding maybe???

Form issue with apache frontend
by Encolpe Degoute 29 Jan '12

29 Jan '12

Hello, I'm facing a strange bug between Apache and Zope. I'm suspecting Apache but I need to prove that Zope isn't at the origin of this mess. In the two files attached you have the request sent by firefox logged with livehttpheaders (request.orig.txt) and the request read in ZPublisher/Publisy.py=>publish with request.stdin.read(). You can see that a part of the request overload the start's of it. The size of file in the request is 6855 bits. I don't understand how this is possible. Two apache servers and one ZEO cluster composing the architecture : - the first Apache 2.1 is a FreeBSD gateway for external requests : it's using SSL with an homemade certificate and ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse to redirect to the second server on the 8080 port - the second Apache 2.2 server is on Windows Server 2003 and listening on 80 and 8080. - the port 80 for all local requests with mod_auth_sspi to handle the SSO and redirect to a first ZEO client - the port 8080 for outside requests from the first Apache server without SSO and redirect to a second ZEO client There is a know bug with apache and SSL but only for requests above 128KB: here the request's weight is about 8KB. Is there something that modifies the incoming request before it comes in the publish module ? Regards, -- Encolpe Degoute <encolpe.degoute(a)quadra-informatique.fr>

Checking multiple variables existence
by Justin Dunsworth 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Is there any way to check if multiple variables exist in the same if statement? Right now I am having to writing multiple nested if statements but can be quite cumbersome... so just looking for an easier way. Currently I'd have to write: <dtml-if var1> <dtml-if var2> <dtml-if var3> <dtml-else> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> </dtml-if> When it would be easier to do something like: <dtml-if "var1 and var2 and var3"> <dtml-else> </dtml-if> I've tried multiple different methods to accomplish this but haven't had any luck... so is there an easier way to check multiple variables existence in the same check? Thanks.

Re: [Zope] zope2.13.12 & ZMySQLDA

Almost everything you need to know for a start is here - stop googling. To keep it easy use this installation method first. http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL.html#id2 1) Install virtualenv 2) Create a virtualized Python environment using virtualenv named my_zope 3) optionally - active your virtualenv 4) install Zope2 egg with this command: (my_zope) d:\dev\my_zope>Scripts\easy_install.exe -i http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.13.12 Zope2 5) install Products.ZSQLMethods (my_zope) d:\dev\my_zope>Scripts\easy_install.exe Products.ZSQLMethods 6) install Products.ZMySQLDA (my_zope) d:\dev\my_zope>Scripts\easy_install.exe Products.ZMySQLDA 7) create a Zope instance outside the virtualenv environment http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL.html#creating-a-zope-insta… Using easy_install every egg package installs its dependencies. That means that package Products.ZMySQLDA installs mysql-python package for you. Use this power to get up and running quickly. Learn more about python packages here: http://guide.python-distribute.org/ Learn more about using buildout and recipes if you are comfortable with these topics above: http://www.buildout.org/docs/index.html http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.recipe.zope2instance Good luck!
