Zclasses only for use in product management folder ?
by Markus Kuhn 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

I've created a Zclass which I want to use in other folders outside the product management folder. Now every time I want to add the product via "Add..." <name of zclass>, I get an alert to authenticate myself again. Now when I enter my username/pw again, I get the message that it's not the right user information and I don't get access to this ressource. Even if I create a new user in the user folder of the Zclass in the product management folder, I can't log on with this user again. 1. Why is Zope asking me for new authentification ? I couldn't find anything about it in any documentation ... 2. If I have to give new or change user rights to this Zclass, where can I add a user or where do I have to change the rights for adding this Zclass in other folders ? Thank you, Markus mk(a)rapideffect.de

domain wildcards
by Philipp Strazny 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

I am using Zope 2.4.3, and I'm trying to set up domain authentication. I made sure that setDomainAuthentication is set to 1, and I am able to supply full domain names (e.g. 192.168.0.34). However, when I use a wildcard, such as 192.168.0.*, I get an "illegal domain specification" error. Even if I set a full domain name, the authentication does not seem to work. Did anybody else run into this problem? Thanks, Philipp

Internal data size limitations
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Here is the situation. I have a 9.5 MB file object containing text data. I want to convert the text data into the properties for DTML Documents. I have a script for performing the conversion and creating the DTML Documents. The script runs just fine (by hitting the "Try" tab for the Python Script) when the number of records is low (e.g., less than 10). However, when I invoke the script for the large file, I get a Site Error. Even cutting the file down to about sevearl hundred records gives me the same error. The work around would be to write several hundred files and then run the script on them individually. Clearly, however, that is labor intensive. There has to be another way. Incidentally, I did not try to implement this as a relational database routine because there are only 13,116 records (yes, only) and it is much easier to set up editing and such via Zope, rather than incurring the extra overhead by using a relational database, such as mySQL or Postgres. Incidentally, I'm running Zope 2-4-3 on Linux (Debian, Potato using python 1.5). Disk space isn't a problem. However there is only 256 MB of RAM. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ron

Python Error on WinNT Server
by Ivan Stegic 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Hi!! Normally I would sit down at my RHLinux Box and fire away and solve the problem myself. But, being that I have almost NO experience with Windows NT Server 4.0 and that the server actually belongs to the corporation I work for, I simply _had_ to make this post. Windows NT Server 4.0 without the latest 6.0 service pack running on a P3 500MHz on a company intranet. Not being used for anything serious, but will hopefully act as a webserver to interface to MS SQL 7.0. Installed Zope-2.4.3-win32-x86.exe, as well as ZODBCDA-3. 1.0b2-win32-py21 and Znolk-0.1.9. Zope is running as a service on the machine --- which I have a hunch may not be all that intelligent? Anyway, the problem is that every so often when trying to access the webpage, there is no response from the server. So, I trundle off to the server itself to see what the heck is going on, and I am informed (after logging in as administrator) that there has been an access violation with python.exe --- attached is the pop-up screen. Sheeesh. So I click OK, the service restarts Zope, and the webpage is available again. I need to roll-out this webpage in the next couple of weeks. I need it to be stable. Sure, I should be Running Zope on a Linux Box, but hey --- I don't have that luxury here. I don't know much about WinNT but I *DO* know that I need to rid myself of this error. Please, please, please --- someone help me! Kindest regards, Ivan. ______________________________ Ivan Stegic ivan(a)stegic.com http://Stegic.com

Printable Page Question
by Vid Bijelic 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Hi, How to get content of the page you are on (DTML Document)? I want to make a printer friendly page without navigations and images. The page contains dynamic text generated from the database so it is different every time. Something like Printable page on zope.org (I tried to view_source of zope.org printable page but couldn�t) Vid __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!

Hi, When creating a PDF document (type "File") within a CMF site, it does not work like an usual Zope "File" object with IE5 and Acrobat plugin (95% of my visitors). Even if the id is "xxx.pdf" Thanks in advance. --Gilles

4TH REQUEST--HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!
by Ben Ocean 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Okay, I've written Jim Cain several times asking for help deciphering his cryptic INSTANCE_HOME stuff but he's too busy to be bothered. I've written this list several times but nobody's taken the time to help me. I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO SET UP MY NEW SERVER TO SERVE SEVERAL SEPARATE INSTANCES OF ZOPE. IF YOU WILL HELP ME, I PROMISE I'LL WRITE A HOW-TO THAT NORMAL PEOPLE (UNLIKE SUPER-GEEK CAIN) CAN UNDERSTAND. Okay, 4th try's a charm, right? In deciphering Mr. Cain's work here http://www.zope.org/Members/jec/startstop_howto_html I've substituted what I consider to be appropriate values for the variables in his code (to conform to the architecture of my box) and written this: #su nobody -c \ > "/usr/local/bin/python /home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/zope0/z2.py \ > -p /home/httpd/cgi/zope0/Zope.cgi \ > -w '' -m '' -f 8080 -t 2 -Z /home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/zope0/var/zProcessManager.pid \ > INSTANCE_HOME=/home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/zope0 \ > /home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/zope0/z2.log 2>&1 &" I've created the extra files (Zope.cgi, z2.log). I wasn't quite sure what pid Jim wanted for his *manager.pid*, so I assumed the zProcessManager was what he was after and stuck that in. At any rate, when I run the above I just get a prompt returned, but Zope isn't started. And frankly, I have little idea what the above code is trying to accomplish and don't even know where to begin deciphering it. Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong and help me understand what that code is saying? TIA, BenO
