Zope on local Win2K machine and IE
by Danny William Adair 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Hi! I installed Zope on a local (Win2K) machine that uses a modem dial-up to connect to the internet. Whenever I type in "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in IE (6) to get to the Zope Server, Windows always prompts me for an internet connection. When I "stay offline", the page does not display. When dialling in, everything works fine. So with IE on Windows 2000, I have to be online to connect to the local (_really_ local, not even LAN) server. I find this stupid and unacceptable. Is there any easy way to get around this problem? Thank you very much in advance for your help, Danny P.S.: Netscape doesn't invoke this prompt, it connects just fine.

Howdy. I received a note from an IDC analyst asking some questions about open source in Asia. Anyone that would like to pitch in and provide me some information, I would really appreciate it! --Paul

re: dtml-sqltest and MS Access data types

It seems that the <dtml-sqlvar ... type="nb"> in a ZSQL method will write to a Long Integer data type in MS Access. I have not tried the other Access data types like memo, currency, etc. If anyone has experience with these, please share them with the list. Thanks. > Hi.

URL Redirection problems...
by Vitor Varalonga 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

Hi! I'm facing a problem concerning URL redirection inside Zope: Suppose a try to make a redirection to a DTML document using it's relative path instead of the absolute one: DTML >> <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect('/abc/xpto?a=1&b=2&c=3')"> Python >> container.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect("/abc/xpto?a=1&b=2&c=3") So far so good... The redirection process goes on apparently well. But if I try to reach the variables I passed in the query string (e.g., REQUEST["a"]), kaput... what a surprise... they don't exist in the REQUEST object as I expected. Apparently the variables are not stored in the REQUEST object. Now the good thing is that the query string is not lost since its stored in a special variable called QUERY_STRING. So if I execute: <dtml-var expr="REQUEST['QUERY_STRING']"> I should get: "a=1&b=2&c=3" I can always parse the string and get the values for each variable, but is there any logical explanation for this? Thanks in advance, Vitor Varalonga

INSTANCE_HOME...Please..
by Ben Ocean 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

Hi; I'm trying to get Jim Cain's multiple zope instances script working. I would like to get this working so that I can build INSTANCE_HOME on top of it and install a bunch of products without having to always re-do everything! I have this output from zstart (designed to start my one instance of zope): #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. Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong? TIA, BenO

HOWTO: Using Xron on Zope 2.4.x
by Jean Jordaan 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

Hi all .. I struggled with this myself today, so I summed up the wisdom of the archives for those who come after ;) To use Xron on Zope 2.4.x, some hackery is required .. 1. Import DateTime correctly. Instead of: from Globals import DateTime do this: from DateTime import DateTime You need to do that once each in 'Dispatcher.py' and in 'XronDTMLMethod.py' 2. Implement the patches in this thread: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2001-July/012486.html In short: you need to do this: from Products.PluginIndexes.FieldIndex.FieldIndex import FieldIndex and instead of this: self._catalog.addIndex('name', 'FieldIndex') you now need to do this in a couple of places: self._catalog.addIndex('name', UnIndex('name')) 3. Follow the workaround described here: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2001-April/087151.html (To get around bad interaction between Xron and 'Z2.py' on startup.) This is a drag. It has to happen every time you restart Zope. Yawn. I tried to mitigate it by running something like this:: cd lib/python/Products/Xron mv __init__.py __init__.py.not rm -f __init__.pyc cd ../../../../ (which I called called './xron_begone') from './start'. Then call http://server/Control_Panel/Products/Xron/manage_performRefresh and finally run './xron_comeback', which is the inverse of './xron_begone'. (Anyone have any better suggestions?) 4. Slay the dragon hinted at here: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2001-July/012502.html AFAIK, this is fixed by providing authentication information in 'Dispatcher.py':: (headers,response)=rpc(furl,'username','password') # Fire event You should now be running Xron without any more problems. Unless I missed something, of course! Corrections and elaborations welcome. Regards, Jean Jordaan

sql SELECT from a list - Beginner's Question
by Herring, William O. 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

I have a sql table which has 2 columns, v1 and v2. v1 is unique. I want to allow the user to enter up to 50 or less possible v1's, of their own choosing, and then simply view them. So the form page would have entries for up to 50 entry requests for v1. However, they may enter only 25, 30, 40, whatever they would like. So the sql without zope, if there were only 3 records requested, might look like: SELECT v1, v2, FROM tablename WHERE v1='1' or v1='3' or v1='5'; How do I build the form, sql method, and return list to accomplish this? I'm sure this has been done, so if someone could point me to a HOWTO or an example, it would be greatly appreciated. --Thanks.

Install Problem - probably stupid newbie thing
by Virgil H. Huston, Jr. 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

I have tried twice now to install Zope on a site on my server. I already have one other instance of Zope running on the server (successfully), but under a different IP number. I can open the Zope main screen, but the log-in will not accept the admin password the install script generated. Here are errors I get when I do the install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Compiling python modules File "/home/sites/site14/users/zopecopy/Zope-2.4.3-linux2-x86/lib/python2.1/te st/nocaret.py", line 2 [x for x in x] = x SyntaxError: can't assign to list comprehension SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (te st_future3.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (te st_future4.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (te st_future5.py, line 4) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (te st_future6.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (te st_future7.py, line 3) Here is what I get when I run start: ------ 2001-12-16T02:14:43 INFO(0) Zope New disk product detected, determining if we ne ed to fix up any ZClasses. ------ 2001-12-16T02:14:44 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /home/sites/site14/users/zopecopy/Zope-2.4.3-linux2-x86/z2.py, line 625, in ?
