Ah yes, some earlier zope 2.7 versions had that problem ... And at some point, python 2.3.4 and then 2.3.5 became the recommended python versions. So you're probably somewhere between 2.7 and 2.7.3 ... 2.7.4 prefers python 2.3.4. You can always do a "grep -r "2.7" *" from the root of your Zope installation, see if it's in there somewhere? I believe there is a VERSION.txt file, but it probably is the containing the bad version identifier.

xform in zope 2.8
by Tim Nash 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Does anybody know how to monkey patch 2.8.0 so zope can process an xform? I found the xmlFix patch but a fellow zope user pointed out that 2.8.1 breaks the monkey patch because of the zope.app.publication.HTTPPublicationRequestFactory object. Does 2.8.0 have the HTTPPublicationRequestFactory object? I cannot find it but then I also cannot seem to process the xform. Thanks! Tim

Help with Apache and Plone & Zope Intranet configurations
by Daniel Berhane 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

We are in the process of setting up access control for our new Intranet which is Plone and Zope application running on port 8080. The access control should allow all our company users within the Firewall read access to the Intranet server without login. Outside the Firewall, all users have to authenticate to have read access. We are using Apache modules mod_auth_ldap for access control and mod_rewrite to map the URL and into a shorter friendly domain name with the standard http port 80. The mod_auth_ldap configuration and mod_rewrite configuration work well separately but create problems when we try to put them together. The main problem, we have is the authentication directives work only under the context of "directory" and because the Plone & Zope is a separate application server running under a different port, the mod_rewrite module can not be run under the context of "directory". Please have a look at the current Apache configuration below. The mod_rewrite part works OK but no authentication happens. There may be another solution to the problem and I would be grateful to hear your comments and suggestions. I know the information I've given you may not be detailed enough, but I will be happy to discuss it with you if you need more details ... <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName intranet.mycompany.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/intranet.mycompany.com:80/Plone/… [L,P] <Directory /> order deny,allow deny from all allow from 172.24 AuthType Basic AuthName "Company Intranet" LDAP_Debug On LDAP_Server ldap.company.com LDAP_Connect_Timeout 1000 Base_DN "o=company" require valid-user Satisfy any </Directory> </VirtualHost> thanks, Daniel.

Re: [Zope] why will FastCGI not be supported in the Future.

Our perception of reality seems to differ a lot. Setting up hybrid sites with RewriteRules / mod_rewrite and VHM in Zope is incredible easy, much easier than configuring fastCGI in httpd.conf. (And I'm not even counting having to compile fastcgi and hooking it into apache.) In helping relative newbies (to zope|apache) to configure their "zope gehind apache" setup on #zope (irc.freenode.net)I found out that life is much easier with 2 rewriterules. You will need rewriterules anyway if you want to force /manage access to https. And afer the rewrite rule "witch" was running, "zope behind apache" support on #zope has dwindled down a lot. > It works > just fine and very stable, even on heavy load.

The is no problem on low load. But with growing load, this > can become a Problem. This is the fun part. Only a couple of weeks ago I grew bored having to restart / reinvestigate / sacrifice dead chicken for our one legacy zope instance that was run through fastcgi. Not really high load on the server, but high load on the admin due to apache? zope? getting stuck somehow. > Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 14:05:22 +0100 > In none of the Postings is an reason why FastCGI ist bad and therefore not > supported in the future. Just to say "so it is" is not an Answer. Experiences may differ, see above. For me it's "fastcgi, never again". It likely was great at some point in the past, but there is better stuff now. I value the undisturbed time that I can advance our company codebase too high, I don't want to be interrupted all the time with "XY hangs". As someone else mentioned, it's up to you! Regards, Sascha

Too me it just looks like a regular buzzword accelerator. You do what you have always done, you just put in a megaton of new acronyms and buzzwords. Instant profit! To the orginal poster: I bet the best way to implement this is by making python scripts and page templates that return xml. No need to mess with webdav. No big deal either. Regards, Sascha

init.d script and out of place instances
by Fernando Martins 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Thanks for all the replies! I got quite a good picture of the situation. Final solution was to symlink zopectl into init.d and run update-rc.d. In the meanwhile, I've also come across two relevant links which might be useful for someone else: similar problem: http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/helpcenterhowto.2005-10-24.6883487858/ talkback/1130736742/discussionitem_view Debian zope/plone package web page: http://pkg-zope.alioth.debian.org/ Regards, Fernando
