IIS with Zserver on NT
by Vishnu Prasad 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

Hi I would like to know the possibility of having IIS as the webserver for my zope 2.3.1 on NT instead of the default Zserver. Can someone give reference or step by step instructions for implementing the same? I remember the usage of ProxyPass/SiteRoot on Linux with apache as the webserver instead of Zserver. Similarly, i guess that the usage of most common windows webserver - IIS instead of Zserver will make a difference. thanks, vishnu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

TypeError in TransparentFolderPatch
by Wolfgang Strobl 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

After exporting/importing/copying a folder (say: xyzzy) around, which itself contains a transparent folder, from one Zope installation to another I'm plagued by the following error message which is quoted below. Error Type: TypeError Error Value: illegal argument type for built-in operation The error happenes when I try to import the xyzzy.zexp into the root folder of the target zope. Importing xyzzy.zexp into an arbitrary subfolder (say: t) works, but then the very same error occurs when trying to copy/paste t/xyzzy to where it belongs: to the root. Any ideas? I haven't read through TransparentFolderPatch enough in order to understand what it is trying to do here.

large images to a database via zope.
by ghaley＠mail.venaca.com 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

hi, if any of you have had experience with this, some sort of pointers or a link to the appropriate how-to would be most appreciated. we are running zope 2.3.n with mysql 2.23.n (where n is i'm not sure the exact port). there is some sort of practical limit on the size of a file that mysql can insert (it's somewhere around 16MB), although a largeblob data type should be able to hold over a gig. [blob is binary large object, a datatype in MySQL] using a shell script i can get a large file to split into 5MB chuncks and then creating a set of part numbers, insert these (via the mysql++) api into the database. a second script can retrieve these and recombine them. so, my question is, how can i get zope to do this? two tables will be involved: 1. object identifiers. containing object_id (a unique, auto_incrementing number) size in bytes 2. object blob storage. id (unique auto_increment) object_id (identical to object_id above) object_pt bfile (the blob data). in my calling method, i would do something like (this is pseudo code). <dtml-in object> <dtml-call (obj_pt, object_pt)> <dtml-call EM.load_blob> // python does all the work based on the object_id value passed in // </dtml-in> i am very low on python skills, so, since i cannot know how many parts a file will contain until i start to fetch how can i write the python script to iterate the number of loops to get all the pieces back out. would for xx in [object_pt] work? if so, does xx start at 0, or can i set it to start at 1 (this would determine the values i put into the blob datafile in the first place)? i've been told this can be done, but i've not tracked down any examples of it. any help will be greatly appreciated. ciao! greg.

dns(?) question
by Chris Larsen 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

I have an internal linux machine running zope and a freebsd firewall running ipnat/ipfilter, dns, and apache. I would like to set zope up so that a) people can access it, and b) so that people can just type in "zope.silentcooperative.com" and have it redirected to the proper machine. I don't want to use mod_proxy, squid, transproxy or apache at all for that matter for the redirection. Can I do this in DNS in conjunction with NAT or is there a low overhead suggestions for doing this??? thanks, chris

Pb with SiteRoot + Zope 2.3.1 or Zope 2.3.2b1 + Suse 7.1
by Neunreither, Isabelle 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

Hi, I'm a newbie with zope. For two weeks, I have start with my diplom. My diplom theme is Zope and XML. At the moment, I don't know exactly in which way i can contribute to the zope development and i read a lot of documentation to understand the zope mechanisms. Today, i send my first problem :-( I have installed first zope 2.3.1, then zope 2.3.2b1 on a linux Server (Suse 7.1) and following problem appears with both version: I try to connect to the management interface through the Zserver with following address http://localhost/Zope instead of http://localhost:8008/ (my port 8080 is yet in use). To do this, I read the How-To: Using Apache with ZServer (NOT Zope.cgi) and decide to use the "First example: Partial Zope-ification" and not the virtual host example. It explains exactly what I need and want, but it doesn't work correctly. All the images and most of the links are correctly interpreted, but some links such as logout, preferences or the path in the manager interface don't link the correct pages! So, if i clicked of the logout link, i get following: "you don't have permission to access /". The " no permission " - problem is normal, but that the link is "/" and not "http://localhost/Zope/ is not normal. So, i decided to delete the SiteRoot object and I tested the links again. All links have been then correct, only after clicking the logout link, i was asked to give my passwort. i gave my passwort, clicked of ok and get following message: connect failed. Then i clicked of cancel and saw in my management interface i'm logged out. Did somebody have the same problem? I try to find a solution. I opened manage_top_frame.dtml to see which variable define the path, but i thing i have a lot to learn before i can change something in the code :-) Cheers, Isabelle

I tried to reproduce your problem in my ZopeCVS: Apparently, the construct requires "Access Contents Information". When I withdraw this permission, your problem occured. For me, "View" permission was not relevant. Dieter

Weird permissions problem.
by Phil Harris 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

I have a problem which I'm struggling to even put it into words, but here goes. I got a new CVS version of Zope this morning. Compiled on Linux (RedHat 6.0) no problems there. Logged in as the admin user and created a new Manager. Closed browser, logged in as Manager. Put a SiteRoot in, works fine (done all this hundreds of times before) Change the index_html so it looks like this: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <a href="&dtml.url-login_html;">Login</a> </dtml-var standard_html_footer> Created the login_html (dtml_method). Changed the permissions so that anaonymous couldn't view it. Tried viewing the index_html, which to my mind should have worked but it didn't. I got a traceback: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. KeyError Sorry, a site error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 193, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 538, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 186, in __call__ (Object: standard_html_header) File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 538, in __call__ (Object: standard_html_header) File /usr/local/trial/Zope2/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Var.py, line 276, in render (Object: login_html) KeyError: login_html Now maybe I'm wrong but shouldn't you be able to get the url of a page even if you turn off view permissions? Someone please help, I'm getting slightly confused here.
