newbie question
by Alexander N Gould 22 Jun '00

22 Jun '00

Now that I've set up some virtual hosts off my zserver, I have another question. These sites (each in a folder in the zope DB) share a lot of data in the form of some custom zobjects representing contacts, calendar items, and posts to discussion boards. If I put these objects in folders on the root level, how do I access them from dtml methods somewhere else? Or am I going about this all wrong? ----------------- Building highways to reduce traffic is like loosening your belt to reduce obesity

RE: [Zope] Quickstart problems...

Brian, Thanks for the quick reply. What is the procedure for upgrading to beta 2? Relatively painless? Is there an Uninstall I will need to do for beta 1? Also, it appears that How-To: Zope2, IIS, and PCGI ( http://www.zope.org/Members/brianh/iis_howto/index_html ) is outdated (if you install the Zope .exe). It appears to be unnecessary now. Would someone confirm? Darren Addy Internet Specialist and Interim Web Presence Coordinator Office of Information Technology Services University of Nebraska at Kearney

ZODBC DA Fails to show in installed products.
by RMarkman＠meriwest.com 22 Jun '00

22 Jun '00

I just installed Zope 2.1.6 and the ZODBCDA (ZODBCDA-3.1.0b2-win32-x86.tgz). After unpacking into the lib tree, ZODBC doen't show as an installed product. I've stopped and started the service, rebooted, etc. There is no entry for the ZODBCDA in product management, thus no way to look at the traceback log. Any ideas? A Newbie to Zope, Russ

Quickstart problems...

Hi all, Recently set up my first IIS server. Installed ActivePerl and Python. Installed latest Zope beta. Restarted and looked good to go. Got the "Welcome to Zope" page at: http://xanadu.unk.edu:8080/ Click on the "QuickStart" link. Good. Click on any tree symbol "+". Good. Click on any next level down tree symbol: Zope Error: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: len() of unsized object Source says (Greek to me, at this point):  Do I have something misconfigured, or is Quickstart broken with latest beta?

I would expect that your file system is not accessible by the user "Nobody". However, I would not expect the get the error value: '/usr/local/zope/lib/python/Products/LocalFS/methodAdd.dtml'. Maybe, this is the (Zope) object that got the IOError. Dieter

The first two arguments are the same as for stdio's fopen(): filename is the file name to be opened, mode indicates how the file is to be opened: 'r' for reading, 'w' for writing (truncating an existing file), and 'a' opens it for appending (which on some Unix systems means that all writes append to the end of the file, regardless of the current seek position). Modes 'r+', 'w+' and 'a+' open the file for updating (note that 'w+' truncates the file). Append 'b' to the mode to open the file in binary mode, on systems that differentiate between binary and text files (else it is ignored). If the file cannot be opened, IOError is raised. </quote> hth Rik
