ZOracleDA causing instability
by Petru Paler 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else sees this: I run a moderately high-traffic (a couple hundred thousand hits/day) with Zope and Oracle (most of the site is forms interacting with the Oracle database, the rest being help/support files for those forms and a couple images). Products used: - FSSession-0-4-2 - GenericUserFolder 1-2-4 - PythonMethod-0-1-7 - SiteAccess-2-0-0b3 - the latest ZOracleDA (the __version__ string in __init__.py says: "$Revision: 1.4 $") Zope 2.2.2 (source release) run with RewriteRule proxying behind apache 1.3.14. Oracle 8.1.6 (aka 8i release 2) installed on the same machine. The problem is that the whole thing is very unstable, and I suspect ZOracleDA to be the culprit. Sometimes the whole Zope just hangs (actually so often, that we are restarting it from cron each 15 minutes, but it's a bad solution since all the GUF cookies are lost and customers are logged out), other times it goes mad and eats lots of memory (I've seen it consuming 800 megs of memory, and the whole unpacked Data.fs is 9 megs!), other times it gives a very strange error: ZSQL methods raise exceptions whose contents is queries ran in other threads!. Does anyone have any ideea of what is happening, and how to fix it ? -- Petru Paler, mailto:ppetru@ppetru.net http://www.ppetru.net - ICQ: 41817235

RE: [Zope] preventing acquisition

Sorry. -2 points for lack of clarity (my fault) I thought you were talking about a document. If you want to do something like that you will need to use <dtml-with> inside your documents. The only way I know to prevent a user from doing this by typing a URL is to set some security permissions. You might look at http://www.zope.org/Members/rossl/SpecificContext It is not specific to your problem, but it might help.

incorporating generated sub-websites within a Zope site
by Fred Yankowski 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

I'm looking for suggestions about how to manage a Zope website that hosts some subsites created by tools outside of Zope. Here's the situation. I'm working on a community website (batavians.org) for a small city (Batavia, IL) where I want to allow various non-profit community organizations to manage their own subsites. But the very first test case is proving to be a problem because the manager of the subsite is using web page development tools that seem to make it hard to integrate their subsite with the rest of the site. They can FTP their files up to the Zope server (which I configured to use port 21 for FTP) and their work is accessible just fine given a small "glue" index_html object that bridges to their internal main page. But I got blocked when I tried to add a standard page footer onto their pages. Actually, I was able to add a dtml-var element to pull in a standard footer via acquisition and that works, but the manager of the sub-website has no way to pull that change back to her working version of the subsite. It seems that the lightweight "Web Studio 2.0" tool she's using has no FTP-download function at all. Not only that, it has no way to view/edit HTML at all! It's only possible to edit using a WYSIWYG design view (AFAICT). So she can't merge in the change even if I tell her exactly the HTML code to add. OK, this problem is largely the result of the crappy web-design tool she's using, but I really have no control over that. The subsite manage/author doesn't know HTML and would be completely helpless with Zope's "through the web" editing interface. A better tool such as Dreamweaver would at least allow her to download files and/or edit HTML directly, but that's moot in this case. Even with Dreamweaver I think the DTML tags would be invisible and hard for a non-programmer to deal with. (Not only that, Dreamweaver refuses to open files that don't have an extension, so it won't open index_html for example.) So what alternatives do I have? Is there some way that I can set up a filter such that every page of her subsite goes through the filter before being sent out to the browser, allowing me to tack on a page footer on those pages? I'm sure Zope has such a mechanism, but I don't know where to look. Even with such a filter I'm not keen about having to parse her pages (which are/should-be each a complete HTML document) in order to insert a footer line in the right place. What other schemes should I consider? -- Fred Yankowski fred(a)OntoSys.com tel: +1.630.879.1312 Principal Consultant www.OntoSys.com fax: +1.630.879.1370 OntoSys, Inc 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510, USA

Help! Zope Crash
by Edward Muller 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

I am running a Zwiki site at http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wiki. This site has become invaluable to our growing handhelds.org community as a place to collect information. But, sadly our zope server keeps dying....No idea why.... Sometimes the zope server can be up for a few days, sometimes only a few hours. I am not sure what is causing this or how to go about tracking it down. Is there anything I can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- ...EAM... edwardam(a)home.com edwardam(a)handhelds.org ----------------------- 'It's because crappy programs offend me.' --Eric Raymond

ANN: HOWTO Use mod_gzip to accelerate Zope
by Andres Corrada-Emmanuel 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

We are pleased to announce a new Zope HOWTO for the community: "Use mod_gzip to accelerate Zope." (http://www.zope.org/Members/Mamey/mod_gzip) Mamey has been following the release of the mod_gzip module by Remote Communications (http://www.remotecommunications.com) since last week. Working with the budding mod_gzip user base, we have been able to get a patched version to work on a RH 6.1 test server. We invite everyone to take a look at this exciting technology that will benefit anyone that serves Zope via the Apache server. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Andres Corrada-Emmanuel Email: andres(a)mamey.com Director of Technology http://www.mamey.com Mamey Phone: (413) 529-9993 ------------------------------------------------------ --
