user account defined outside context of object being accessed
by Kees de Brabander 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

I am in the process of upgrading from zope 2.5.1 (yes very old) I used to use the following set up. Prototypically I had the following chain of folders and methods: f1 (folder) f1_index (dtmlmethod) f11 (folder) acl_users (user folder) f111 folder index_html (calling f1_index) I used f1 to place methods and scripts to be acquired by methods in f111. At the level of f1 I defined local roles, disabled the acquisition of the view permission and added that permission on the same level again to existing roles including the local roles except Anonymous. F11 contained a user folder populated with accounts with with local roles defined in f1. The url www.domain.nl/f1/f11/f111 would render the content of f1_index after logging in with an account from acl_users in f11 (basic authentication), that is at least up to zope 2.7.3. At least from 2.7.8. on this very same user is not allowed to access f1_index anymore. I could solve the problem by moving the user folder from f11 to f1, but actually I have also f12, f13, f14, and so on, each with its distinct group of users. The setup described enabled me to remove folders at the second level when they are not needed any more including the whole group of users involved. Furthermore, though the second level folders share a group of methods, some were also specific for specific groups. Another option would be to disable the acquisition of the view permission not on the f1 level, but on the f11 level. However, in that case the url www.domain.nl/f1 would acquire the index_html from the root folder in stead of disallowing access. Apparently I have to change my habits. But how do I come near to my use case? The error message is most verbose in 2.8.4 and reads: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 113, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 40, in call_object Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 144, in __call__ - <DTMLMethod at /f1/f11/f111/index_html> - URL: http://localhost:8080/f1/f11/f111/index_html/manage_main - Physical Path: /f1/f11/f111/index_html Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 476, in __call__ Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 184, in guarded_getattr Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 693, in guarded_getattr Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 635, in aq_validate Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 529, in validate Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 449, in validate Module AccessControl.ImplPython, line 774, in raiseVerbose Unauthorized: Your user account is defined outside the context of the object being accessed.

Re: Triggering the persistence mechanism

There is nothing that needs to be done here. It's only if you *mutate* values stored in the session that you need to do explicit persistence triggering. I provided an example of doing this in my last email. - C On Dec 15, 2005, at 4:20 PM, Dennis Allison wrote: > > Chris McDonnough pointed out a problem with my setSessionVariable > code which I am now fixing.

Fwd: [Zope] zopectl or runzope just won't start zope
by Qass 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Thanks for your reply fm. The python version in my path is 2.3.5 and both python and zope were build from source. Zope is installed in /opt which is where the python 2.3.5 is too. I got rid of the zope instance I had running earlier and created a new instance in my home directory. Now when I run zopectl start from the /bin in the instance in my home directory I get the following error: . Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/zope-2.8.4/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py", line 719, in ? main() File "/opt/zope-2.8.4/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py", line 716, in main d.main(args) File "/opt/zope-2.8.4/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py", line 243, in main self.run() File "/opt/zope-2.8.4/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py", line 256, in run self.opensocket() File "/opt/zope-2.8.4/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py", line 278, in opensocket sock.bind(tempname) File "<string>", line 1, in bind socket.error: (2, 'No such file or directory') I then tried to run 'runzope' and got the following which don't look like errors: /home/blah/zope/Products/PortalTransforms/TransformEngine.py:18: DeprecationWarning: The module, 'Products.CMFCore.CMFCorePermissions' is a deprecated compatiblity alias for 'Products.CMFCore.permissions'; please use the new module instead. from Products.CMFCore import CMFCorePermissions /home/blah/zope/Products/CMFCore/utils.py:629: DeprecationWarning: format_stx() will be removed in CMF 1.6.

Trying zope on Linux
by Allen Huang 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

I'm trying zope on linux but I have come a cross a problem. I windows, I simply changed the port number from 8080 to 80 in zope.conf so I could get to my site without typeing the port. But in Linux, I did the same thing but it always tells me that some other server already occupied this port. (and I just started too, so there shouldn't be any server. right??) I'm now trying to figure out what server to close but with no luck at all.. can someone help me so I can display my site on port 80? --------------------------------- Yahoo!

user folder question
by Chris Cole 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, I'm currently trying to setup a custom zope instance for our c.s. department at school. Currently we run a totally linux infrastructure with ldap authentication which we would also like to tie into zope. My question is not how to authenticate against ldap, but I was wondering if there is a way to disable the default user folder and in automagically put an ldapuser folder in its place on creation of a new instance. I'm kinda new to zope, and I'm sure it's possible, but if someone could at least point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. - --Chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDob1SASJ6G3eRc6ARAsY6AJ0Zt52lG+zsg10QlCGB3lq3SUCswQCgu3S1 lmDaYgZV2/MgPz7foC1EaJc= =5/ig -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If you're talking about "instance" as in installing a Zope $INSTANCE_HOME, then you could "prepare" a ZODB where you have done all that manually and re-use that for every instance you build out. If you run ZEO and they all connect to the same database there is no need - you switch it out once and all instances "see" that. jens

sessions in the presence of conflicts
by Dennis Allison 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Zope 2.8.4, ZODB 3.4.2 I am still trying to resolve a "session variables in the presence of conflicts" problem. The observed symptom is that suddenly either some session variables disappear or all session variables disappear. In both cases, Zope has raised a KeyError exception for the a particular session variable because it is not present and an attempt was being made to access it from the session. The cause appears to be related to the presence of a conflict error and a botched recovery, but the exact mechanism remains a mystery. Zope equates a session object with a TransientObject. For our instance, that's fine, since our only TransientObject is a session. For the general case, I would have thought a SessionObject inheriting from TransiendObject would have been used so that conflict resolution for sessions could be easily specialized. The conflict resolution for a TransientObject (that is, a Session Object) is clearly suboptimal. In the next paragraphs I'll review what is currently done and then propose a different approach which I am about to implement for our systems. Comments, corrections, and suggestions much appreciated. _p_resolveConflict(self, oldState, savedState, newState) returns the state of the object after resolving different changes. The arguments are: oldState -- state of the object at the beginning of the current transaction (mutable) savedState -- state currently stored in the database. This state was written after oldState and reflect changes made by a transaction that committed before the current transaction (immutable) newState -- state after changes made by the current transaction (immutable) The standard conflict resolution for a TransientObject resolves according to the following rules: 1. if any of the states are invalid (that is, has a key '_invalid') return the invalid state. 2. if any any of the attributes ['token','id','_created'] differ then there is a conflict, raise the conflict exception. 3. choose the state most recently modified, if possible. 4. otherwise, choose the state most recently accessed. It seems to me that we can do much better for sessions because we know a bit about the semantics of sessions. A session object is a dictionary-like object mapping key-value pairs. Adding or deleting keys or changing the value associated with a key are independent operations and do not conflict unless the keys are duplicated in both the transactions. Any conflict resolution mechanism needs to be able to manage multiple keys independently since the session object is modified as a unit. In addition, new keys may be added and old keys deleted; any conflict resolution mechanism at the key level needs to be comprehend those operations. A more session-friendly conflict resolution might use: 1. if any of the states are invalid (that is, has a key '_invalid') return the invalid state. 2. if any any of the states attributes ['token','id','_created'] differ then there is a conflict, raise the conflict exception. 3. order the newState and savedState by modification time (or if that cannot be computed, by access time). 4. any key appearing in oldState's dictionary but not appearing in both savedState and newState should be removed from all. This corresponds to a key-value pair being deleted in one of the transactions. Insertions will be managed automatically by the updates. 5. beginning with the oldest, update oldState dictionary of key-value pairs using the dictionary part of newState and savedState. Return oldState. This does several things. First, it captures independent key-value changes made in both potentially conflicting transactions. Second, it provides a reasonable ordering for multiple (potentially conflicting) key-value pair updates. Third, it manages insertions and deletions to the session variable set in the presence of conflicts. Does this make sense? I have yet to figure out how to map a TransientObject "state" back to the object it represents, but it clearly is possible.

HTTP compressed response
by Gabriel Genellina 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hello I wish to enable HTTP response compression. Looking at ZPublisher\HTTPResponse.py I see this method: def enableHTTPCompression(self,REQUEST={},force=0,disable=0,query=0): and I think I should invoke it with REQUEST=REQUEST to enable compression only when the client browser can handle it. But I dont know WHEN to do the call - should it be in (every) template used to generate a response? should I modify the response factory (make_response in ZServer\HTTPResponse.py) to invoke this? or what?
