Henk Schets wonders: > - how easy and reliably can I manage my virtual hosts (about 8 sites right now) ? Very important. The SiteAccess product contributed by Evan Simpson is a popular solution. http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess2 > - how stable is Zope regarding to Apache on Linux ? That's how "the Zope Folks" at Digital Creations run Zope, so I'd guess it's about a clean as can be. However, there is more than one approach. Probably the easiest is ZAP, which comes with a preconfigured Apache. http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/Products/Zap Start here: http://www.zope.org/Members/guy_davis/install_routes Below is the tip of the iceberg from a search on "apache", at Zope.org http://www.zope.org/Members/shaw/HowTo/ApacheFrontEnd http://www.zope.org/Members/nemeth/howtos/zopeandapacherh61 http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/HowTos/ApacheRewriting http://www.zope.org/Members/kedai/apache_zope_fcgi > - we have a MySql database, is it easy to connect with Zope ? Lot's of folks use MySQL with Zope, and there's a ready made "DA" (database adapter) just for this purpose. http://www.zope.org/Members/mordred/ZMySQLDA > - can I access the Zope internal database with e.g. ODBC ? So far, no. New and interesting ways of storing Zope Objects are being developed though, so let's not count this one out. - can I use log analyzers to get some statistics about our site ? Zope does do some logging, but I don't know much about that. Maybe someone could answer? > - any advice about migrating an existing site ? One handy item that I have used is Jonathan Farr's LocalFS. This way you can keep serving static pages and images "directly" from a local file system, and frees you to decide when the time is right to turn all those icons into Zope Objects. http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/Products/LocalFS Also, leverage your MySQL for all its worth. The more stuff you can abstract into tables and treat as lists, the more you'll like Zope! Later, Jerry S.

REQUEST.form.set ???
by Brian Withun 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Is it possible for DTML to create or modify a form value? I understand that REQUEST.form is a dictionary, but I cannot seem to add dictionary elements. I've tried <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.form['test']='value'"> <dtml-call expr='REQUEST.form["test"]="value"'> <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.form.set('test','value')"> but none of them work. What am I doing wrong here? ------------ Brian Withun

Your browser will not send your > authentication information to a URL with a different host name. In my Zope root directory, I have created a folder by site. So I have folders : Site1, Site2,... I have included in each folder a Siteroot object with the following parameters : For Site1 (subfolder site1) : Base: http://www.site1.com Path: / For Site2 (subfolder site2) : Base: http://www.site2.com Path: / And so on... In the Apache configuration, I have also set a rewrite rule for each domain like this : <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> ServerName www.site1.com .... RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Site1/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] </VirtualHost> Is it correct ? I have another strange behavior. When I copy an object from Site1 folder, I can't past it in the Site2 folder. Is it normal ?

Help: mod_python+ZPublisher and authentication
by Gilles Lavaux 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Hello, This is not exactly a Zope question, but I hope that some of you will be able to help me: I am using mod_python + ZPublisher + Ztemplate on a apache server and now I would like to restrict the access of some pages served by the ZHandler.py. How to do it?? Do I have to put a rewrite rule in apache? The Zhandler.py seams to reply all the time a 200 code to apache, do I have to modify it to send back an 'Unauthorized' code??( I don't know how to raise the 'Unauthorized' error from the python module I am publishing) Thanks for any help Gilles Lavaux

Wanted: Procedure to produce binary release from source release
by Soren Roug 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

I support a couple of UNIX platforms, that are DC doesn't provide binary releases for. So what I would like to do is roll my own binary release and then send it to my system administrators. However, trying to do this from the source release is no easy task, so I would like to know if DC has a script that does this automatically and are they willing to share it? Preferably downloadable from www.zope.org. Best regards Soren Roug

by albert boulanger 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

This seems to be missing in this version of site access. I am followig the url based session howto. There is a file ChangeBehaviors.py in the SiteAcces 1.x versions that seem to be missing in 2.0b3 that defines this function. An oversight or is there a change in API? Zope version: Zope 2.2.1 (binary release, python 1.5.2, solaris-2.6-sparc) Regards, Albert Boulanger aboulanger(a)ldeo.columbia.edu
