XMLDocument might or might not be what you want here - while it does provide this, there are other ways to produce XML from arbitrary objects. -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

I use Zope 2.1.6 and ZODBCDA to access an Access database. I had only the usual Zope 2.1.6 Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA problems. Dieter

Problems with Zope 2.2.2 and MS SQL Server
by Pieter Claerhout 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

Hello all, I'm having some troubles connecting Zope 2.2.2 to Microsoft SQL Server. I downloaded and installed the product ZODBCDA, and I was able to connect to the SQL Server. I was able to define the SQL methods, and when I test them, everything is successful. The problem is that when I use for example the dtml-in tag to iterate over the results, and display them in a page, I am always prompted for a password, but I can enter whatever password I want, I can never get through. Does anybody has an idea of what I'm doing wrong and how I can solve it?? Thanks, Pieter

Re: [Zope] How to access column names in DTML Methods

Jose Soares writes: > I'm trying to display the column names of a Record object without success. > I'm able to access column data using sequence-item but I don't know > how to display column names. The "Results" object has a method "names()" returning the column names. A Record object hides the names in a private attribute that cannot be accessed from DTML (but it is possible from Python).

ppc.rpm built from src.rpm
by addyd＠unk.edu 14 Nov '00

RPM gurus? Couldn't find Zope 2.2.2 RPMs for LinuxPPC, so attempted to create my own from src.rpms at Jeff Rush's site. Followed the directions given at the LinuxPPC FAQ-O-Matic. Everything seemed to go well and it build an entire set of ppc.rpms with no error messages. Installed the whole enchilada Zope-2.2.2-1.ppc.rpm and then the Z-Server rpm. Everything seemed to install normally and an RPM -q shows me they are installed. However, when I attempt to get the Manage screen by doing the http://my.machine:8080/manage I get a Connection Refused (server may not be accepting connections/may be busy). The machine is up (and Apache and ProFTP are listening). What do I need to check next? If I can determine that the problem is NOT with the RPMs, I'd like to make them available to the LinuxPPC community.
