reading cookies from external methods
by Jed Parsons 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

This is probably a silly question, but how does one read cookies from an external method without passing REQUEST to the method? The method should be callable both from dtml and from other external methods. I know I can do this: def foo(REQUEST): cookie = REQUEST.get('some_cookie') return cookie Can I get the same cookie without requiring boty my dtml methods and my other scripts and external methods that call foo() to be able to pass the REQUEST object? I'd like other methods to be able to say this: val = foo() # good without requiring them to be able to do this: val = foo(REQUEST) # bad Likewise, I'd much rather say this: <dtml-var foo>  than this: <dtml-var expr="foo(RESPONSE)">  If I've just revealed myself to be tremendously ignorant of the right way of doing all these things in Zope, great! Please enlighten me.

Zope + Apache on Quad Debian machine
by Hugo Ramos 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Yellow, I'm using Zope+Apache on a 4 xeon's/4GB ram machine running Debian. I've noticed that the CPU's never go beyond 30% top occupation... but on rush hours the site takes too long to load... I've been reading about process affinity and how it could speed up everything by making zope run on 1 CPU, Apache on another and so on... Has any1 tried this before? Can you point me to some documentation? What's your experience? is it true that not doing this the 4 cpu's will not be 100% used?

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.

We have a zeoup-based plugin that checks for that, lemme know if you're interested and I'll see if I can put it somewhere public. > We run into situations where zope (actually a plone site) does not > respond to user requests. 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?
