Apache+mod_SSL+FastCGI+ZServer
by Jasper 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

I am fairly new to zope and evaluating its use for a medium traffic commercial site where security is a requirement. After reading through a lot of opinions and info on the zope site (http://www.zope.org) I came to the conclusion that to get scalability and security, Apache + mod_SSL + FastCGI + ZServer was the way to go. There was also mention of a zope product (called MX-Crypto?) which allowed SSL with ZServer without requiring Apache, but it looked to me to be in early development (I did not look at this closely). I set up the mod_SSL + FastCGI, etc and tried it out. Details on the installation, problems encountered, etc may be found in http://www.zope.org/Members/jasperh/SSL_FastCGI_setup In particular, I had trouble getting the zope management screens to work when SSL was compiled in. Any comments as to whether the Apache+mod_SSL+FastCGI+ZServer idea is good, bad or ugly for the intended use would be much appreciated. jasper (jasperh at mweb dot co dot za)

Thanks Holger I used the source distribution and it worked. Why is this not part of the binary distribution?

Creating Factory Objects (Products)
by Firestar 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Hi, I'm following the tutorial in Zope Content Manager's Guide. I created an 'InstantSite' product, with 2 DTML methods, Designer and Builder. I followed most of the instructions, and managed to see the product in my 'Add List'. But when i tried to add it into my other folders, the Builder page(which would be called after Designer) could not be accessed. The error is: "Resource not found Sorry, the requested Zope resource does not exist. Check the URL and try again." followed by the tracebacks... In fact, the tutorial doesn't seem comprehensive and contain errors(e.g. screenshots different from description). Could anyone give this newbie some pointers here? TIA. regards, Firestar ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup

(no subject)

I've previously been a Perl programmer. I did a lot of stuff where I would have multiple links with different options. Ex. <a href="/path/script.pl/1234">1234</a><br> <a href="/path/script.pl/2345">2345</a><br> Then, in script.pl, I would pick up the extra info on the other side from $PATH_INFO. The problem in Zope is that there is no "end" to the address. Serving from Apache, it knows that the .pl extension is the end of the path. If there's a '/' and more after it, it will push it to PATH_INFO. So how do you do this in Zope? Because it's object names instead of paths in the request, how do you send optional, additional info through the request as above? I know there has to be a way to easily do this, I just can't figure it out.

Zope is memory intensive?
by Firestar 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

Hi, i have installed Zope on a RH6 box, and looking at the processes, Zope(running as 'python') consumes abt 20% of the memory usage! A single apache daemon only takes abt 9-10%. Is Zope supposed to be so memory intensive? regards, firestar ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup

Newbie question: User Folder
by Firestar 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

I'm going through the Zope Content Manager's Guide(on zope.org) and i came across this 'User Folder' section that i have a few questions on. e.g. Let's say we have 4 folders: ZACme/Marketing/Sales/FrontDesk Sally is defined as manager in 'Marketing'. I understand that her role is 'acquired' in Sales and FrontDesk, but not in ZAcme, therefore she would be able to make changes in Sales and FrontDesk folders. My question is, can we 'turn off' this acquired role and do not allow Sally to access Sales(but allow her to access FrontDesk, and Marketing of course)? Or must we assign a different role to her?
