Preserving ownership on export/import
by Matthew X. Economou 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Is it possible to export an object from a Zope instance in such a way that, upon importing the object in a completely different Zope instance and assuming the two Zope instances share a common authentication source (e.g. LDAP), the original owner of the object is preserved? I want to migrate key content (such as member folders) from my old Plone 2.0 server to my new Plone 2.1 server. Unfortunately, the imported objects are now owned by me, not by the users that originally owned them. Zope seems to support me only taking ownership of an object, not transferring ownership to someone else. Best wishes, Matthew -- jsoffron: I'm generally pretty high on national defense...

Actually to detect whether it is *running* fetching a page will do the trick. That's what we do here and it works fine. That will NOT detect however if Zope is running, but errors are occuring. I sthat what you really want? Why would looking up a page not do the trick?

Actually, I'd love to have a look at your zeoup-based plugin myself :) As Chris suggests, it is normal for Zope to keep running after it loses its ZEO connection. If you're worried about that, setup a separate ZEO monitor.

However nagios does not complain. Huh? That makes no sense... what, exactly, was nagios checking here and what were the user requests? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Can't establish connection to localhost
by Carl Symons 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Been working with Zope error-free on localhost for months. I just tried to install a plone skin, which I've done successfully previously. Directions are to restart zope Attempting to do so returns message: Unable to connect firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8081 Rebooted...same symptom. What should I do to get Zope running again? Carl Linux Zope 2.8 plone 2.1.2-1

"Permission denied" running Zope 2.8.5 configure
by Glenn Gillis 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hello, list. I am attempting to install the following components under FreeBSD 4.11: - Python 2.3.5 - Zope 2.8.5 - Plone 2.1.2 under a directory structure like: /usr/local/zope /software-home /python /zope /plone /... /instance-home /www.climatelaw.org /www.example.org /... Python 2.3.5 is installed in /usr/local/zope/software-home/python/ and appears to be working correctly. This server is also already successfully running Zope 2.6.1 under Python 2.1. When attempting to configure Zope 2.8.5, however, I receive the following error from configure: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [zope@luna:www.climatelaw.org]$ /usr/local/zope/software-home/zope/configure --prefix=/usr/local/zope/instance-home/www.climatelaw.org/ --with-python=/usr/local/zope/software-home/python/ Using Python interpreter at /usr/local/zope/software-home/python/ Configuring Zope installation /usr/local/zope/software-home/zope/configure: /usr/local/zope/software-home/python/: permission denied ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am installing as user "zope", which owns both the directory, subdirectories and files within "/usr/local/zope": [zope@luna:local]$ ls -ld zope drwxrwxr-x 5 zope zope 512 Mar 23 12:22 zope The python interpreter also is also owned by user "zope" and permissions are set as "755": lrwxr-xr-x 1 zope zope 12 Mar 14 13:02 python -> Python-2.3.5 I've searched the archives of this list and not found this particular permission problem described. I am at a loss as to what exactly is denying permission to what, much less how to correct the problem. I would prefer not to have to configure and install Zope as root. Any help very appreciated.

unicode error in standard ZPT form
by MIlos Prudek 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

I have a typical ZPT form that redisplays entered data if invalid data is entered: <input type="text" size="30" name="name" tal:attributes="value request/name| nothing"> Unfortunately it throws a Unicode exception if a Czech accented character is entered. Such as "s" with a hacek. Or "c" with a hacek. Possibly applies to many other languages as well. Is there a workaround?

Virtual hosting changes
by Terry Hancock 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

I've been for some time using a "hacked" version of virtual host monster that was maintained by my hosting company, and I've just moved to a new hosting service with just the "stock" version. My impression was that the hack was mostly cosmetic (just sweetened the interface a little by giving you separate form-fields etc). But what bothers me is this note on the VHM page: """ You should only use the "Mappings" tab for simple virtual hosting, in a Zope that is serving requests directly. Each mapping line is a host name followed by a path to a Folder. The VHM checks the host specified in each incoming request to see if it is in the list. If it is, then the corresponding path is inserted at the start of the path, followed by "VirtualHostRoot". """ WHAT!? Why? I hate messing with anything under /etc/apache2, and I strongly hope to mess with it now, get it right, and then forget about it (last time I left it for about 5 years). But I used to reconfigure VHM quite frequently (say every 4-6 months) to manage new sub-domains, etc, and VHM made it easy. Is this warning just because the author expects me to like the Apache interface better or is there some deeper security or performance reason why I wouldn't want to use VHM more or less as I have been? The real downside of course, is that if using VHM to manage sub-domains behind an Apache proxy is "deprecated" then I'm going to have a hard time finding the right documentation to set Apache up right (so far, I'm just trying to port my old settings -- but the old machine was FreeBSD and the new one is Debian Linux, so Apache's config files are laid out quite differently as are the filesystem paths I need to use and the default settings for Apache (and in general, I trust Debian's choices better, so I'm trying to keep this fairly minimal if I can). Thanks for any comments. Cheers, Terry

verbose-security
by Jeremy Cook 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

I have tried using the verbose-security option in Zope 2.8.6. I cannot see that it is actually doing anything different from the standard security. I have previously used VerboseSecurity and know what the error log should look like. in my zope.conf security-policy-implementation PYTHON verbose-security on I am sure that zope.conf is being read, because if I type in invalid values, I see error messages on startup. I am using Plone 2.1.2. When I access an object that I do not have permission I get the following error message: Time 2006/03/24 12:32:51.623 GMT+1 User Name (User Id) jc (jc) Request URL http://bla.bla/Bla/folder_listing Exception Type Unauthorized Exception Value Not authorized to access binding: context Traceback... I somehow expected a little more. I expected to be told what permissions I needed, and what permissions I had. Can anyone tell me if I am doing anything wrong?
