How to Install Zope on Window NT
by Jin Chen 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

I am a new user of Zope. I successfully installed the Zope on my win98 machine two months agao. But today I want to install Zope on my NT machine. I download the 'Zope-2.4.x-to-2.4.2-win32-x86.tgz' file and unzip it. I extract all the file to 'web/' directory, the content looks much different from the one I download before, and I cannot find the 'install.txt' from the 'doc/' directory. I follow the old one(install.txt) I download before, but I don't know how to run the installer in my 'web/' . Could any one help me? Many thanks....

Another WebDAV problem for the mix--MS Network Places
by Carlson, Christopher W. 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

It seems like having WebDAV difficulties is in fashion this week. I have my Zope installation using port 8080 for WebDAV, and it serves up raw content as expected (tested by pointing IE directly at a document on the server through port 8080). Trying to set up a Network Folder through Explorer on Windows 2000 using 'http://161.120.180.129:8080' gets me the following message: The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another. I've tried adding a trailing /, pointing at a sub-folder, and a myriad of other possibilities. Has anybody else run into this? --- Chris -- Chris Carlson -- Master Scheduler -- CertainTeed Corporation / Waco, Texas -- (254) 666-7800 x30

Question about ZCatalog and SquishDot
by Pieter Claerhout 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

Hi all, I was playing around with ZCatalog yesterday, and I ran into a small problem. I have a site that consists mostly out of DTML documents, but also contains a squishdot part. I was able to catalog everything, but apparently, the postings from the SquishDot part are not catalogued. I saw that squishdot maintains his own catalog, so I'm wondering if there is a way to combine that catalog in the main one that contains the rest of my site. Any ideas on how to do this? Cheers, Pieter

WebDAV lockingproblem with Word
by Joachim Schmitz 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

Hi, if I store a word-document as "doc" in a ZopeFolder, I can access it later in read/write mode. When I store this document as htm-document, it is writeprotected, when I open it again with word. Is this a Zope or Word-problem ? Mit freundlichen Grüßen Joachim Schmitz AixtraWare, Ing. Büro für Internetanwendungen Hüsgenstr. 33a, D-52457 Aldenhoven Telefon: +49-2464-8851, FAX: +49-2464-905163

Zope crash in select_trigger
by Mark Mitchell 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

Over the past few days, our Zope server has started crashing repeatedly, but unpredictably, with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/Zope/ZServer/PubCore/ZServerPublisher.py", line 97, in __init__ response._finish() File "/usr/local/Zope/ZServer/HTTPResponse.py", line 277, in _finish stdout.close() File "/usr/local/Zope/ZServer/HTTPResponse.py", line 334, in close Wakeup() File "/usr/local/Zope/ZServer/medusa/thread/select_trigger.py", line 74, in pull_trigger os.write (self.trigger, 'x') OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe I see some other similar reports in the archives, but no fixes. Does anybody have ideas about what is causing this problem? -- Mark Mitchell mark(a)codesourcery.com CodeSourcery, LLC http://www.codesourcery.com

very simple question
by U n d e r a c h i e v e r 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

hi i'm very new to zope so please forgive what is a very simple question i'm building a site for a friend with a gallery of objects. i'd like people to be able to search the objects by a number of properties, so i upload an image file of the object, hit properties tab and add a new field, artist, and then the artist's name. however, i have to re-create this property for every new upload. how do i change the properties for all the objects in a folder, so when a new image file is uploaded, clicking on properties has a blank 'artist' field waiting for some input? setting a blank property of artist on the folder does not seem to cause all the images in that folder to inherit a blank property. i've searched the archives, but i can find no answer. sorry if this has been asked before. thanks ===== u n d e r a c h i e v e r (and proud) <takeme2your(a)rocketmail.com> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Problems Accessing site after reinstall
by Steven Grimes 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

I'm in the process of upgrading one of my zope servers and after I get everything reinstalled and try to log on the only user that I can log on as is the super user account. I made sure to install the same version and all the same products and then I copied my data.fs into the \var directory and I tried to access the site. I can not use any of the users I had with the old system. Both setups are Zope 2.2.0, Windows NT 4 sp5, IIS4 with pcgi. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Please Help! - Changing instance owner with external script...
by Rob Foster 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

Hi there, I've been trying to get the external script below to work with little success (I found it on ZopeLabs): def custom_changeOwnership(self, username, obj): acl_users = getattr(self, 'acl_users') #UserFolder source user = acl_users.getUser(username).__of__(acl_users) obj.changeOwnership(user) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've got a script that grabs a username value "name" from a form and creates an instance in an adjacent directory. Using your script, I'm trying to get the owner changed to the same value... with no luck. I keep getting messages like this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: changeOwnership Traceback (innermost last): File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /filepath/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 226, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: LockableItem) File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 354, in _bindAndExec (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py, line 363, in _exec (Object: checkUsers) (Info: ({'script': <PythonScript instance at edb860>, 'context': <Folder instance at c523c0>, 'container': <Folder instance at c523c0>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, (), {}, None)) File Script (Python), line 26, in checkUsers (Object: guarded_getitem) File /filepath/lib/python/Products/ExternalMethod/ExternalMethod.py, line 281, in __call__ (Object: customChangeOwnership) (Info: (('dfd', 'dfd'), {}, None)) File /filepath/Extensions/custom_zmgmt.py, line 5, in custom_changeOwnership (Object: LockableItem) AttributeError: (see above) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the script: context.REQUEST.set('id', request.form['name']) my_context= context.members.manage_addProduct['MyProduct'] my_context.Member_add(my_context,context.REQUEST, NoRedir=1) context.customChangeOwnership(request.form['name'], context.members.REQUEST['name']) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think maybe part of the problem is that I don't know what "context" means exactly and how to use it. I'm guessing this error is caused because an object can't be found? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob
