Data.fs problem!!!
by Tom Deprez 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

Hi, I've some problems with my Zope database! I don't know what I've done wrong, but the only thing I did was installing the beta of MP. After the installation everything was still normal. Then I wanted to shutdown Zope and restard it in debug mode. Restarting in debug gave an error, but zope restarted. After this strange things happened : eg. I've a folder QC in which another folder Mammo is. Looking on the left panel (thus the Zope tree). I see QC but no subfolder Mammo. However, if I look into the folder of QC then Mammo folder is still their, although clicking on it gives the error that the Zope resource can't be found. Ok. Lucky I had a backup of QC.zexp. Unfortunately importing this file results in the same problem. I also moved the data.fs file and all the other things to another place and Zope created a new Data.fs file. I also removed the beta of MP and installed the old MP. To no offence, it still give this strange error. Now, I'm sure my exported file is not corrupt, but how can I install it so that it works! Important, because this was a service being used and I don't like to write it again. Thanks for any advice. Tom.

Single html checkbox as list?
by clamor＠fafalter.de 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

Hi, since I didn't find anything on that topic, the solution might be obvious but I ran into the following problem: I have a html form with several checkboxes. If one checkbox is selected, the variable containing the result is represented by a string, if two or more checkboxes are selected the variable is represented by a list. Is there a way to force the variable to be a list, even if only one checkbox is selected? greetings clamor

cannot run without -D on win2000 ?
by Gijs Reulen 24 Sep '00

24 Sep '00

Hi I tried to run Zope without the -D option but it will hang after the initial: C:\Program Files\Zope_220\bin\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\Zope_220\z2.py I tried both the 2.1.6 and 2.2.0 versions. Does anybody else have this same problem ? With the -D option Zope runs ok, but I would like to supress the traceback on errors. Gijs Reulen

So I guess the problem is confined to older versions of Zope. On the old Zope 2.1.6, I did not use SiteAccess. On the Zope 2.2.2, the problem is solved with or without SiteAccess. regards, Hung Jung _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Welcome to my world! I have fought this problem for months, going on a year. The good news is that after upgrading to the latest version of DCOracle, I am now having only intermitant crashes, about every 2 days or so - and I'm not even sure those crashes are due to DCOracle. Anyway, you can get the latest version of DCOrale at: http://www.zope.org/Products/DCOracle/ ^Roman

using crontab to restart ZOPE - again
by George Osvald 24 Sep '00

24 Sep '00

Some time ago I asked for help when setting up crontab to restart ZOPE. I got a few answers and scripts. This one was sent to me by Adam Karpierz. It works fine on my RED HAT 6.2 box but I can't get it working on FreeBSD 4.0. On Linux it doesn't do anything if ZOPE is running. It only restarts when ZOPE stops working. On FreeBSD it stops and then restarts ZOPE every time. I wander if anyone knows what should be changed for this script to run on FreeBSD. Any help would be appreciated. -------------------------------------------- #! /bin/sh ZOPEDIR="/home/virtuals/user/zope" INFOMAIL="mail(a)okstudio.com.au" STARTFILE="$ZOPEDIR/start" STOPFILE="$ZOPEDIR/stop" PIDFILE="$ZOPEDIR/var/Z2.pid" PID1ACTIVE=0 PID2ACTIVE=0 if [ -x $STARTFILE ]; then if [ -r $PIDFILE ]; then PID1=`cut -d" " -f1 $PIDFILE` PID2=`cut -d" " -f2 $PIDFILE` if ps -p $PID1 >/dev/null 2>&1 then PID1ACTIVE=1 fi if ps -p $PID2 >/dev/null 2>&1 then PID2ACTIVE=1 fi fi if [ $PID1ACTIVE -eq 0 -o $PID2ACTIVE -eq 0 ]; then $STOPFILE >/dev/null 2>&1 sleep 10 $STARTFILE date | mail -s"Zope restarted" $INFOMAIL >/dev/null 2>&1 fi fi ------------------------------------------------------- Regards, George

Stability problems using ZOracleDA
by Peter Kelly 24 Sep '00

24 Sep '00

Hello, Recently I have been having some severe stability problems using zope and oracle together. Zope has been segfaulting on a regular basis, usually every 10-15 mintues. When I looked into it a while back I came to the conclusion it was a problem with the linux version of oracle (an incompatibility with glibc 2.1), but I have tested it on solaris now and I am having the same problems. I have been able to live with it for development (only takes a few seconds to restart automatically), and assumed it was only a problem on linux, but for production (which will be on solaris) this is obviously not an option as the site will be under a much higher load. The details of my configuration are: Linux: Redhat 6.2 (intel) Oracle 8.1.6 Python 1.5.2 (compiled from sources --with-threads) Zope 2.2.2 (compiled from sources) ZOracleDA 2.2.0b1 (compiled from sources, also tried 2.1.0) Solaris: Solaris 8 (intel) Oracle 8.1.5 Python 1.5.2 (compiled from sources --with-threads) Zope 2.2.2 (compiled from sources) gcc 2.95.2 ZOracleDA 2.2.0b1 (compiled from sources) DCOracle Setup file used (tweaked Setup-8.1.5): *shared* ORACLE_INCLUDES=$(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/demo -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/network/public -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/plsql/public ORACLE_L=-laio -lclntsh ORACLE_LIBS=$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/ $(ORACLE_L) oci_ oci_.c -I$(ORACLE_INCLUDES) -L$(ORACLE_LIBS) -DDCORACLE8 Buffer Buffer.c I suspect that it may be a problem with threads & DCOracle. If I compile just DCOracle (either version 1.3.0, 1.3.1 or 1.3.2), no zope, I still have the problems (even just by doing an 'import ocidb' it segfaults), but if I compile python without threads then I have no problems (I will need to run zope multithreaded however - the site will be handing a fair bit of traffic). I have also tried linking with pthreads instead of solaris's standard threads library (as has been suggested on this list), but it still segfaulted. I haven't been able to find a solution on the web or any mailing lists so far... but I assume there are a lot of other zope users running zope with oracle who are not experiencing these problems. Zope has been great so far from a development point of view, but this issue is turning out to be a showstopper. Any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks in advance, Peter Kelly pmk(a)post.com

Problems upgrading 2.1.6 -> 2.2.2
by J. Atwood 24 Sep '00

24 Sep '00

I followed the HOW-TO here http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO And looked around for different documentation but, alas, was left without much help. I can move over the Data.fs file, and reinstall the products but every product is broken when I start it back up (again and again). I have tried removing them and reinstalling them but it will not let me import the .zexp files (any of the products). I get the following error (for more than one product) Error type: SystemError Error value: Failed to import class _ZClass_for_ZPhotoAlbum from module Products.Photo Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_importObject) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_importObject) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 519, in manage_importObject (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZODB/ExportImport.py, line 208, in importFile SystemError: (see above) Even products that there is no .zexp file like SimpleURL 1.0 the product is just broken. Is there another way of going about this? Anyone done it successfully? I guess my next step is to try out each and every one of these products in Zope 2.2.2 to see if they actually work. Thanks, J

Authentication problem when accessing ZSQL method
by steve smith 24 Sep '00

24 Sep '00

Hi, I am experiencing great frustration when trying to implement a drop-down list based upon one of the how-tos I found on the Zope site. Whenever I try to 'view' the DTML method which references the ZSQL method, I am prompted to authenticate by my browser. I can't see anything in the security attributes for the SQL method which requires authentication, and I can 'test' the ZSQL method succesfully without requiring authentication. I have tried providing my user credentials (ie, to match the one and only user defined in the 'acl-users' list', but that fails. Where should I start looking for the answer? Regards Steve Smith
