- Zope - Zope lists

New Zope-powered site
by Kevin Lewandowski 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Hi, All. I thought I'd mention my site that I have recently converted from PHP to Zope. http://www.discogs.com The site is called Discogs, it's is a user-built discography database for electronic music (house, techno, trance, etc). It features discographies by artists and labels, and the data is all cross-linked (same concept as www.imdb.com, except for music). Traffic-wise, it's currently serving about 2,500 users per day, and 12,000 pageviews per day (increasing about 20% each month). The only major hurdle in converting from PHP to Zope was RAM. It seems Zope needs a lot of memory. Previously I was running with 96 megs with 128 megs swap, no problems. But after turning on the zope site there was no free memory and Linux was constantly swapping. Site access was extremely slow or none at all. A quick upgrade to 512 MB solved that :) It's definitely worth the increase in productivity. p.s. thanks to everyone on this list who has helped with my questions over the past few months! -Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When you see stuff in the ZMI that you like, I would suggest looking at the souce(DTML, python, etc) that builds those pages. It's one of the best things about the ZMI :) Scott -----Original Message----- From: Gilles Lenfant [mailto:gilles@pilotsystems.net] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 8:13 AM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Obtain the date of an object Hi, I'm looking for displaying the date (the one we can see in the ZMI) of an object.

url path
by Fritz Mesedilla 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Is there another way to retrieve a path aside from: <dtml-var PATH_INFO> I need it because with VirtualHostMonster and Apache doing rewriting like RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.foo.com:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.bar.com:80/foobar/VirtualHo stRoot/$1 [P,L] When the PATH_INFO is used for a form, <input type=hidden name="_gufauth_dest" value="<dtml-var SCRIPT_NAME><dtml-var PATH_INFO><dtml-if QUERY_STRING>?<dtml-var QUERY_STRING></dtml-if>"> the following is produced and thus make errors: <input type=hidden name="_gufauth_dest" value="VirtualHostBase/http/www.bar.com:80/foobar/VirtualHostRoot/"> Thanks for your time.

zope hangs
by Roman V. Isaev 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

A glitch :( It happens in zope 2.3.3 (python 1.5.2) and zope 2.4.0 (python 2.1.1) under OpenBSD 2.7. After a day or two of normal work zope simply stops responding to HTTP requests. When I telnet to 80 port it connects, but nothing else happens. What to do? How to know where it handgs and why? Is it possible to attach to zope process and see what's going there?.. -- Roman V. Isaev http://www.aroma.ru System Administrator P.S. I've set up a script that kills zope and restarts it at 7am, just before a workday begins, but it's not a solution %(

RE: [Zope] Invalid connection string
by Farrell, Troy 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Yep. I saw the solved msg right after I sent the last message. The message about an invalid string is correct. The DA _could_ suggest checking the permissions, but it is behaving properly. It likely doesn't have permission to read the pg_hba.conf file and if the db were remote, it couldn't do so easily. While the error is good, it should suggest checking permissions. Glad it's working now.

Newbie question: testing a script with a record argument
by Roger Erens 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

L.S., Actually I have 2 questions: #1 Could someone hint me on how to test a Python script in the test tab view, where the script needs a person record (as obtained from an addPersonForm)? The person record consists of the person.fname and person.lname fields but I just have one entry for person in the test form. #2 The above-mentioned form should let me add a person-object to a Persons-folder. I want to assign to every object a unique IDnumber. My idea is to store the lastAssignedID information as a property of the Persons-folder and update it after every adding. Does this make sense and should I use something like container.manage_changeProperty(lastAssignedID)? Thanks in advance, Roger Erens
