Confusing DateTime().strftime behavior
by Kirk Strauser 16 Oct '05

16 Oct '05

I'm upgrading our server from a FoxPro backend to PostgreSQL, using the Psycopg connector. My problem is that the old database returned timestamps as a "%m/%d/%Y"-formatted string, while Psycopg returns a DateTime object (I'm using the internal module, not mxDateTime). Whenever I use strftime to format the object for display, I get the previous day's date instead. I've found several references to this problem in Google, but no one seems to have found a good solution. Any thoughts? -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies

apache open proxy configuration problem
by Ed Colmar 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

I've been running zope through apache for years and years now, and I have a new machine set up with apache 2.0.48 and zope (Zope 2.8.0-final, python 2.3.5, linux2) Using Identical Vhost configuration settings from an old machine all has been well, up until about 5 days ago, when I noticed the machine getting slammed, and wierd logs started showing up like: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [14/Oct/2005:14:09:06 -0700] "GET http://partners.mygeek.com:80/search.jsp?partnerid=98885&pagesize=12 HTTP/1.1" 403 406 (IP removed to protect the guilty) In my quick research to try to determine the problem, I found people advising to turn "ProxyRequests Off", which I did, but did not have any effect. Luckily this is just a development server, not a live production server, so its not super critical, but I'm nervous now that my production server might be in the same state... Here is a sample vhost.conf entry: NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.32 <VirtualHost 192.168.1.32> ServerName www.greengraphics.net ServerPath /var/www/greengraphics/www DocumentRoot /var/www/greengraphics/www ServerAdmin webmaster RewriteEngine On TransferLog logs/Vhost-greengraphics-access.log ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.32:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.greengraphics.net:80/gree… ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.32:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.greengraphics.net:80/gree… </VirtualHost> mod_proxy.conf looks like: <IfDefine HAVE_PROXY> <IfModule !mod_proxy.c> LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so #LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so #LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so </IfModule> </IfDefine> <IfModule mod_proxy.c> # # Proxy Server directives. Uncomment the following lines to # enable the proxy server: # ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all # Allow from .your-domain.com </Proxy> # # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers. # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers) # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block # ProxyVia On # End of proxy directives. </IfModule> any suggestions? places to look to verify security? Thanks! -ed

Hi, Can anyone advise me on backing up zope. Our license is going to expire soon, and before we get the new license, I would like to have a backup of my existing setup. --Walter

14 Oct '05

Trying to execute the following code from a python script from smtplib import SMTP from email.MIMEText import MIMEText I get a error: *Error Type: ImportError* *Error Value: import of "SMTP" from "smtplib" is unauthorized. You are not allowed to access 'SMTP' in this context * Why I can't access SMTP if I am a user manager with all the access enabled for managers in the current context ?

But http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Subversion/ZopeDevelopmentProcess says: "When you check in a bug fix, you almost always need to ,,, Note the fix in the /doc/CHANGES.txt on the current release branch ...

And in this case you are the guy who applied the patch to the trunk, so I assumed you were satisfied. If you want me to note it on the trunk, I will. Is that too much of a pain for the release manager? Should ZopeDevelopmentProcess be changed? -- http://www.slinkp.com

Zope 2.7.8 or Zope 2.8.X
by Dennis Allison 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

We have been running on Zope 2.7.6 with a few patches. I am now planning to migrate to Zope 2.7.8 but am pondering the move to Zope 2.8. We are in a production situation and cannot accept any downtime, so I am very concerned about stability and compatibility. Can the list provide words of advice?

Yep :-) I don't have Wing, so I can't try WingDbg, but if you could stick zdb and WingDbg in the same Zope instance and see what zdb is stomping on that's stopping WingDbg working, then I'll see what I can do.. > I still think even better would be to get > a change into Zope so monkey patches aren't required. Well, zdb adds overhead, so I'd never want its stuff to be intergated... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

The option is not "only as an example", it is commented out and thus deactivated. Uncomment it. jens
