Check Zope status
by Jonathan Bowlas 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Hi All, We're having a few problems with our Zope server, it seems to be crashed but were not sure whether it is actually crashed or merely waiting (a long time) for a response from LDAP to authenticate our users, which may be causing it to hang. Is there any tool we can use to test to see if Zope has actally crashed? Jon

Zope 2.7 installation on SuSE 10.0 - unable to find startup script
by TR 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

This is rather bizarre, but I'm unable to determine what script to run to start my Zope instance. I installed 2.7.7-3, which comes with the distro, and ran mkzopeinstance.py, which terminated without errors after asking for the instance home and site admin id/password. Isn't there supposed to be a startzope.py somewhere? The closest thing I could find was the following: [/opt/zope/lib/python/Zope/App] > python startup.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "startup.py", line 16, in ? from AccessControl.SecurityManagement import getSecurityManager ImportError: No module named AccessControl.SecurityManagement Even wierder, my installation contains an AccessControl.SecuritySuite package with a SecurityBase module - no SecurityManager. Can anyone shed some light, here? -Tom Russell

Adding User Roles
by David VanKirk 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

We're running Zope version 2.5.1 here in the office. My boss was telling me when he tries to add a user role under the security tab, it won't show up as a selectable role under the acl_users folder. Anyone ever seen this problem before? -- David VanKirk

Newbie questions about MVC, Continuations, Persistence
by Andrew Madu 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Hi, I am completely new to the world of Zope and would like to know how zope handles the following: 1. MVC 2. Continuations 3. Persistence ala Hibernate I have an existing cocoon project, 2.1.8, which I was contemplating on moving either over to webobjects or zope. I have a number of java classes which I would like to continue to use and wondered whether zope would be able to plug into these classes, or are am I looking at a complete re-build for those as well? One major issue I have is with a paypal SDK I am currently testing which handles merchant banking, are there any merchant banking SDK's out there which are zope compliant that anyone know of? regards Andrew

I read all the documentation I could find and followed it to the word. I believe other factors came into play which resulted in a non-working installation. Not having a more holistic overview of system means that I easily get lost when something unexpected happens.

Just as your said, you don't have a good overview of the system you are working with. So I would suggest to you to dig in. If you have read all the docs and "followed it to the word", am sure you will be better than me by now. Your intention of using this mailing list for help is not wrong, but your way of seeking help can be unappreciated by those who are in this maililng list. At any case, try uninstalling everything, and start from scratch again. If you have done this already, I suggest you look through the basic commands of your distro and try to dig through the issue. It may not be Zope's error in the first place, it could be your human error, configuration of your server, or whatever. A piece of advice. Install zope in your PC first before the server. I hope you have the same distro too, that helps alot, I mean ALOT!!

Using property() function in Zope 2.8
by Max M 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I needed to dynamically generate local roles for an Archetypes based content object today. Different layers in my Plone stack breaks all rules and reads the __ac_local_roles__ variable directly, instead of calling get_local_roles() So to maximize the compatibility between Zopes zmi and Plones local roles management I wanted to make '__ac_local_roles__' a property with setters and getters. My AT class was based via a few hops on: 'from ExtensionClass import Base'. And as far as I understand from the release notes Zope 2.8.x should use extension classes based on new style classes. So the property function should work. This code below works in plain Python. But when I add them to my zope class, and run the tester() method I get an "Attributer Error: __ac_local_roles__" Any ideas/comments? # -*- coding: latin-1 -*- class PropTest: def get__ac_local_roles__(self): return self.__mxm__ac_local_roles__ def set__ac_local_roles__(self, value): self.__mxm__ac_local_roles__ = value def del__ac_local_roles__(self): del self.__mxm__ac_local_roles__ __ac_local_roles__ = property(get__ac_local_roles__, set__ac_local_roles__, del__ac_local_roles__, "Local roles on object") def tester(self): return self.__ac_local_roles__ if __name__ == '__main__': p = PropTest() p.__ac_local_roles__ = 'working' print p.tester() -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science Phone: +45 66 11 84 94 Mobile: +45 29 93 42 96
