Trying to trap ConflictError
by Jonathan 06 Jul '06

I am trying to trap the following error: Traceback (innermost last): Module Zope2.App.startup, line 173, in zpublisher_exception_hook Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 121, in publish Module Zope2.App.startup, line 240, in commit Module transaction._manager, line 96, in commit Module transaction._transaction, line 380, in commit Module transaction._transaction, line 378, in commit Module transaction._transaction, line 433, in _commitResources Module ZODB.Connection, line 484, in commit Module ZODB.Connection, line 526, in _commit Module ZODB.Connection, line 554, in _store_objects Module tempstorage.TemporaryStorage, line 200, in store ConflictError: database conflict error (oid 0x39b0, class BTrees._OOBTree.OOBucket, serial this txn started with 0x0366974da4fd2288 2006-07-04 13:33:38.669252, serial currently committed 0x0366974da54d9fcc 2006-07-04 13:33:38.742942) in an external method, as follows: folder = self.unrestrictedTraverse(TEMPFOLDERIMAGES, None) try: folder.manage_addImage(imageId, imageData) except: <handle error message and return gracefully code> But the try/except block is not catching the error! (the error continues to show up in error_log) (note: I started by trying "except ConflictError:", but that was not working, so I went to the bare try/except) The traceback does not show where the error originates in the external method, but there is only one place where the external methods writes to TemporaryStorage. Does this indicate that the error is not bubbling up properly? Any ideas as to why the error trapping is not trapping? (running Zope 2.9.2, debug=on) Thanks, Jonathan

If you only have one server available and if it is a production server, then you need to think about the ramifications of crashing that server. 'Production server' means different things to different organizations, and if no-one is going to be screaming at you if you kill the server then carry on! However, if your organization takes a dim view of production server downtime, then I would caution you against proceeding! You don't need to be a linux expert to install zope, but you do need at least a rudimentary understanding of how linux works and how some basic commands work. I would recommend spending some time reading the intro chapters of some linux documentation (you can find some at http://www.linux.org/docs/, and there is a good doc at: http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-rg-en-4/) - it may seem like a waste of time, but it will save you time and aggravation in the future. If you do not want to spend the time on linux/zope and you just want to 'get working', you could look at some of the zope hosting companies (they already have zope up and running, and they look after maintaining the 'infrastructure', which lets you focus on your application).

And now my point: Jonathan, I disagree here. Russ, you are running a command you don't know about (and you don't even care enough to check the spelling) as *root* on a *production* server. Please notify the servers administrator and/or owner about this. You shouldn't be allowed near a root prompt. At least till you've done your homework to the extend that you pay attention before doing anything as root. Besides, nobody told you to do this as root. When giving commands as root, you can destroy everything that is on that server. For starters try it with `rm -rf /`. Why don't you try the installation first on a test machine or personal workstation? We all have to learn stuff first, but a production server isn't a learning environment. Nowadays it is *very* easy to get a Unix clone system to play around with. There is also documentation to be found about Zope and System Administration in general, for free on the Internet.

Apache's default port is 80. Have you tried that? (i haven't kept the earlier part of this thread, and I can't remember what you have tried). Do you have a rewrite rule set up in apache?

Serious security problem with Zope 2
by Jim Fulton 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

We have recently discovered that there are (still) very serious security problems with the integration of reStructured Text (docutils) into Zope 2. We have prepared a hot fix for this problem: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2006-07-05/Hotfix-20060705/ See: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2006-07-05/Hotfix-20060705/ README.txt for installation instructions. It is important to install this hotfix as soon as possible. This fix will disable the reStructuredText 'raw' directive. Much thanks goes to Tres Seaver for analyzing the problem and developing the hotfix! Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered!

Help on installing ZFSPath / LocalFS

I'm supposed to create a ZFSPath object somewhere. How do I excactly do that? And, ultimately, how do I use ZFSPath once it's installed???
