help! zope down on it's knees

greetings and help! my site is experiencing major slow down. connecting to zope takes more than 5-6 minutes. this happens when i got a lot of users connecting. (apache connection > 250). everything works great if i got < 100 user connections what i've done -upgrade apache to serve more than 256 users by editing httpd.h -up the zope thread from the default to a greater number (100) -added more RAM total = 4G when i connect from the server console, with lynx localhost:8080 , i got a long wait with HTTP request sent; waiting for response. ( about 5-6 minutes for a 20Kb file) if i render the page and let apache serve it, the request is served immedietly. i think this has to do with zope inability to cope with requests. i'm looking at putting squid in front and see what happens. or is it my setting? this is happening on a production server and is very bad. help and pointers to tune zope is apprecieted very VERY much this is zope 2.1.6, on RH with SMP and 4G RAM meanwhile, i'll go bang my head before i look at this again. thanks and help, please! -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?

Am I getting the idea correctly?
by Frank Isaacs 09 Jul '00

I'm so new to Zope that I can barely even spell it. But I'm about to spend some time and effort getting proficient with something that enables dynamic, database-connected (and database-updateable) content on web sites so I can sell it to clients, and the appeal of Zope is overwhelming in this arena. I am a very proficient PowerBuilder programmer, but Sybase's offerings are cumbersome and somewhat expensive. I am well versed in many of Microsoft's products, particularly VBA for its Office products, but I worry greatly about using anything from Microsoft because it's hard to know when I'll run into a "gotcha" that I'll curse myself for later on. Cold Fusion and other products seem a happy medium but the CF server piece is about $5k, and some others are more expensive. But here's what worries me about Zope: it looks I will do a whole lot of typing and get caught up in the syntax and repetitive nature of things like <dtml-var ------> and <dtml-this -----> and <dtml-that ----- >. OK, so it's not made for the faint-of-heart at this point - I can handle that. But I also am not an HTML maven, and it looks like I need to have full HTML expertise to make this work also. GUI tools take the drudge out of <a href="something">something and <h2>this is a heading</h2> pretty well, but I don't see how to get out of this stuff with Zope, especially since it looks like everything is stored internally in a data file that I can't access from the outside. Am I correct? Or is there help on the horizon for those of us who have no graphic design skills and <shudder> actually believe there's a place for GUI-based tools? Thanks for any light you might shed on this subject for me - -Frank

Hi!

I tried STX_Document-1.2, FlexFAQ2 and Yihaw. ZWiki works. I guess this is due to changes in 2.2x, but at least I'd like to know what that erros means (and I'd love to have STX working in 2.2;-) Chris

[Repeat] Nt server w/ Zope
by J. Michael Mc Kay 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

Trying again for help. If I stop Zope as a service from NT's Service Manager or from the Zope management interface it seems to kick and scream while restarting. In the application log I see repeated errors stating the service could not start. These repeat until the application log is full. Zope appears to be running, but I have not yet learned how long it is cycling to start. The error series is essentially, "Starting Zope Service" , "Could not Start Zope Service" until the log is full. From there I'm not sure. Is this a known issue or am I missing a switch setting for start-up? This does not occur from reboot. Everything is as normal as I know normalcy. Thanks

Maybe that is not significant so I proceed with Add Image. Now, pray tell, where is that .gif file. Thanks, Bill Barnes

Shane Hathaway did a line-by-line audit on DateTime.py, and fixed loads of timezone and rounding bugs. The fixed version is available in CVS and in Zope 2.2.x. There was also a copy of it on Shane's page at www.zope.org, but it is gone now. If you get stuck, mail me privately and I'll send you the fixed version. You're better off getting it from a copy of Zope 2.2, if you can. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

You can put your linefeeds inside the HTML and DTML elements: <h2>This is a really long heading with a <dtml-var foo > dtml variable in it</h2> See http://www.cat-box.net/helen/notes.html#source_layout_notes for more information about these issues. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

wrong day behaviour
by Marco Mariani 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

Why is Zope costantly reporting the day before the one I suppose it should? This is my method: ==================== <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-if "REQUEST.get('SUBMIT')=='Add'"> <dtml-call "elenco.manage_addDTMLDocument(_.str(seqnum),'','')"> <dtml-with "elenco[_.str(seqnum)]"> <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('seqnum','0','int')"> <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('citta','','string')"> <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('data','2000/01/01','date')"> <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('indirizzo','','string')"> <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('desc','[]','lines')"> </dtml-with> <dtml-call "elenco.manage_changeProperties(seqnext=REQUEST.form['seqnum']+1)"> </dtml-if> <dtml-if "REQUEST.get('SUBMIT') in ['Change','Add']"> <dtml-call "elenco[_.str(seqnum)].manage_changeProperties(REQUEST.form)"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('index_html')"> </dtml-if> <FORM METHOD=POST> <TABLE> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="seqnum:int" VALUE="<dtml-var "elenco.getProperty('seqnext')">"> <TR><TH ALIGN=LEFT>Citta':</TH><TH ALIGN=LEFT>Data:</TH></TR> <TR><TD> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="citta"> </TD><TD> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="data:date" VALUE="2000/01/01"> </TD></TR> <TR><TH ALIGN=LEFT>Indirizzo:</TH><TH ALIGN=LEFT>Descrizione:</TH></TR> <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="indirizzo"> </TD><TD> <TEXTAREA ROWS=10 COLS=30 NAME="desc:lines"></TEXTAREA> </TD></TR> </TABLE> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=SUBMIT VALUE="Add"> </FORM> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ==================== Upon the creation of an object, the "data" property gets stored with the wrong day. Is it something everyone but me knows? Thank you. -- "This company has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

The xmlrpc client is using the same python with the binary zope. (I have the zope1.5.2 install in same box). Can anyone help me with these? Moreover, it seems that it is not using the BasicAuthTransport which is mentationed in articles in xml.com, are there some changes in the xmlrpc code?
