Anyone using Zope on a RAQ3?
by Duncan Booth 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Has anyone tried running Zope on a Cobalt RaQ3? The reason I ask is that a UK company is now offering dedicated RaQ3's for 29 pounds/month (64Mb RAM, 8Gb disc), and I wondered if it would make a good Zope platform or not? -- Duncan Booth duncan(a)dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan

Hello, I have been trying to use XML with Zope. My operating system is turbolinux6.0 and database is MySql. I am facing problem about using ZDOM. How do I use ZDOM or simple DOM along with the XMLDocument and XMLWidgets to access and manipulate my data in XML format. Thanking you in anticipation. With Best and warm regards. Vikas Mahajan

RE: [Zope] Change db connect string in python or dtml

Have you tried: create a new instance of a database connection alongside the old one, then point your SQL methods at the new connection. When you have them all switched over, delete the old connection. -cw- > -----Original Message----- > From: Magnus Heino [magnus.heino(a)rivermen.se] > Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2000 5:50 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Change db connect string in python or dtml > > > > Hi. > > I have an instance of a 'Z MySQL Database Connection' called mysql. > > How can I change the 'Database Connection String' and then then try to > connect, either in dtml or python? > > -- > > /Magnus Heino

2.2/OpenBSD2.7 runaway
by Brian Livingston 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Zope/Unix newbie here, so please be gentle. Apologies in advance if this is the wrong list for this question. I was having fun with Zope 2.1.6 on a LinuxPPC machine, then moved it over to a Zope 2.2, AMD-K6-2 box running OpenBSD 2.7. It ran fine for a week, then not-so-fine. Watching TOP, the Zope/Python process is consuming ALL available cpu time, rendering the machine completely non-resposive. Python 1.5.2 and Zope 2.2.0 were compiled from source. OpenBSD kernel was compiled with maxusers = 128 I get the feeling that this is one of those "oh, you forgot to flick that bit" things. I just can't find the right bit to flick! Any advice is welcome!

RE: [Zope] Bi-directional update of Data.fs
by Chris McDonough 02 Aug '00

If you're doing little or nothing in the way of Python development in base classes (e.g. you're doing all of your development in the instance or in ZClasses), you may want to take a look at ZEO (http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO) Setting up the ZEO "storage server" overseas and using a local Zope client as a sort of object cache might make the situation bearable and solve your synchronization problem. ZEO caches objects until they're invalidated by the storage server, so the object is read once and can be accessed many times until invalidated without needing to cross the wire to the storage server. If you are doing development on Python-based Products, you can still do this, but it's complicated badly by need to be very careful that the two installations keep "shared" Python modules (ala Product files) synchronized as well, as if they get out of sync, one of the two of you is going to end up with a broken Zope incessantly. It's not an ideal setup. There is no generic diff or merge facility for two arbitrarily modified Data.fs files. > -----Original Message----- > From: Brenton Bills [mailto:fud@mail.theinternet.com.au] > Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2000 12:47 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Bi-directional update of Data.fs > > > > Hi, > At the moment I am in a situation where I am working > for a company > overseas across the Internet.

We are also still running the last > stable release of Zope (2.1.6, I think) with plans to upgrade next week. We have a similar problem with Zope 2.1.6 under Solaris 2.7 using ZOracleDA to connect to Oracle 8.1.6, no other C-level extensions. Something in the system writes uncontrolled into memory. Main target is the memory management leading to SIGSEGV in the function "t_splay" or (occasionally) infinite loops. "purify" reports "Write After Free" problems during release of Oracle database connections and "Uninitialized Memory Reads" in calls to "wrap_odesc". Both inside the Oracle 8 Client libraries. In one test run, purify detected an uncontrolled write into the heap from inside the "localtime_u" C library function. The function "tzcpy" was called writing "GMT" to an indeterminate destination. "tzcpy", normally, is called just once during initialization of the "time" module. I see only one plausible explanation: the data area of the C library has already been overwritten (undetected by "purify", which only control writes into the heap), the resulting heap corruption was a side effect. The main problem may be in the Oracle 8 client libraries. The old Oracle 7 interface used by DCOracle seems to be no longer documented (i.e. depracated) and maybe no longer maintained. But, maybe, the problem is elsewhere: in Zope/Python the Solaris Thread Library, the C-compiler. I will keep the list informed. Dieter

webdav q
by Alex Rice 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Hi, I was experimenting with Goliath, http://webdav.org/goliath/. It's a nice webdav client for MacOS. It has more or less the look and feel of the MacOS finder. Goliath has locking support, but disables that feature when talking to a Zope server. Also I was fiddling with Zope versions, but the webdav client seems to slip content underneath the versioning interface in Zope. I was wondering if it would be possible to make Zope version map into the webdav concept of locking, or does Zope have a concept of locking? -- // Alex(a)PanoramaPoint.com // Programmer, Panorama Point web communications // New Mexico, USA // 505-424-4800x35

Take possession over DTML Documents/Methods
by Peter Bengtsson 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Hello I use you Poll product [http://www.zope.org/Members/mega/poll] The only two documents I can control is the index and results page, which is fine. But how do I do if I want to change and modify how other things work, such as the way the results are presented and what happens after you've clicked 'Vote'. The reason I'm asking is that I want to translate everthing shown to the user in Swedish and I also want it to work with the rest of my sites content (CSS and layout). I managed this well with index and results. I can't change the product itself because I am being hosted by a friend and I can't ask him to modify products to suit me. I had the same problem with the URL Directory product http://www.zope.org/Members/Roug/SimpleURLs ]. I didn't want to use the thank_you_html page (found in Control Panel) so I changed (with my administrators consent) that to thankyou_html and put in my own thankyou_html document in the relevant folder. In other words, how do I take possession of the documents/methods of your otherwise lovely product? Peter Bengtsson - bloody good programmer

Re: [Zope] compile ZPoPyDA product problems (continued)

Alright, slowly but surely. I've checked out ld.so.conf and the libraries appear to be setup correctly. The output of ldconfig -v shows (among other things): /opt/pgsql/lib: libpq.so.2.1 -> libpq.so.2.1 * There is no entry for the generic libpq.so * libpq.so is a link to libpq.so.2.1 Is this potentially the problem? Are there solutions?
