Apache Virtual Host problem
by Chris Bruce 21 Jun '01

21 Jun '01

I am using the VirtualHost monster. Everything is working except when I try and go to siteroot: http://www.chrisbruce.com the index_html file is not showing up. Instead, apache is saying I don't have permission to view "/". I am not sure why this is happening, any ideas? Regards, Chris Bruce __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The GPL talks just about _distribution_ of a product, or more precisely, about the rights of _others_ for distribution. I can distribute my products with any license I want, who should have a problem with that and what license may be violated? To cite the GPL: "You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License." and "Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. " and (from the GPL-FAQ): "Is the developer of a GPL-covered program bound by the GPL? Could the developer's actions ever be a violation of the GPL? Strictly speaking, the GPL is a license from the developer for others to use, distribute and change the program. The developer itself is not bound by it, so no matter what the developer does, this is not a "violation" of the GPL. However, if the developer does something that would violate the GPL if done by someone else, the developer will surely lose moral standing in the community. " I.e. I also can publish internet explorer specific javascript under the gpl (or vb-macros for that matter). and (also from the GPL-FAQ) "I'm writing a Windows application with Microsoft Visual C++ and I will be releasing it under the GPL. Is dynamically linking my program with the Visual C++ run-time library permitted under the GPL? Yes, because that run-time library normally accompanies the compiler you are using." The only problem I see is when someone (DC) wants to incorporate someone else's GPLed product together with zope, or when someone wants to modify someone elses GPLed zope product and distribute it. But I think even the second part isn't a problem, because the GPL says (under section 2, the "viral" part): "These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. " For me that means that as long as I distribute someone elses GPL'ed zope product without zope, it's ok. I guess that we all are in agreement that zope "can be reasonably considered independent and separate work in themselves". cheers, oliver

re: [Zope] How to find out how is logged in on an NT domain at given IP
by Erik Myllymaki 21 Jun '01

If you use loginmanager with your NT domain ACL as the usersource and validation, this would only require using: <dtml-var "REQUEST['REMOTE_ADDR']"> and <dtml-var "REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER']"> Works well for me. -- Erik Myllymaki erik(a)pacific-shores.com

Finding unique objects in a ZCatalog returned list
by Mike Groves 21 Jun '01

21 Jun '01

Hello, I'm doing quick search using several indexes in a ZCatalog as below <dtml-in expr="Catalog(title=query) + Catalog(category=query) + Catalog(description=query) + Catalog(product=query) + Catalog(keywords=query)"> This works really well. However, if my query string is found in more than one index I get the same object returned more than once. How do I sort the list of objects returned and more importantly remove duplicate objects?

Macros in the ZMI perhaps?
by Peter Bengtsson 21 Jun '01

21 Jun '01

Community and DC techdecisionmakers, I know this thought might complicate the ZMI for beginners which is bad, but there is still hope for skinning the ZMI for advanced and novice users isn't it. It would be nice to be able to write common macros for objects, such as renaming or print len(objectValues('Photo')) or backup or whatever! In the list of objects you currently have: - Type - Name - Size - Las Modified Added to this I would like to see "Macro". In the macro field, there is a little drop down list where you select the macro (from the available ones) you want to apply to the object. By default it's None. You can select only one macro per object and you can chose different macros for different objects. - Obj1 do None - Obj2 do Rename à la carte - Obj3 do Rename à la carte - Obj3 do Backup on floppy - Obj4 do None Then you click "Commit Macros on these objects" and it applies the methods one the objects, one at a time. The macros are Python Script, DTML Document, DTML Method or External Method. They all have a title (used in the list of objects) and the usual binding. The folder object gets a new Tab. "Macros". In Macros you keep all the macro scripts (likely a bunch of different scripts). These macros are inherited the usual way of course, so that commonly used macros are preferably written in the root folder. The macros must be babysimple to create and maintain. The script in the macro itself can be advanced but it should be done elsewhere if it's too advanced and content sensitive. This is a quick thought and I had to scribble it down quick. I'm not sure that I have the Zen enough to build a prototyp myself yet, but there is interest I can at least put together a couple of static screens of what I was thinking of. What d'yo say? Peter
