database connections in a multi-Zope zeo environment
by Dennis Allison 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

I am sure this is a synaptic disconnect, but I can't seem to get my head around this one. I have remote Zopes (call them "A", "B", "C" ) and a database server ("D"). I also have a bunch of mysql databases. All of the machines run mysql. All the Zope instances share the same Data.fs connected via Zeo. The two cases of interet are how to access a local database, that is, one the same machine as the running Zope, and, how to access a remote mysql database. ZMYSQLDA provides a static binding to connections. MYSQL grants access privileges based on source IP address. So, here are my questions: 1. When I open a database connection with the connection string -u dbroot -h localhost -passwd mypassword what machine is accessed? I'm presuming localhost is always the local machine. Is that correct? 2. How do I open a remote database connection so it works transparently across multiple instances of Zope? The Zope code, shared across instances, uses a single connection with a connection string like -u dbroot -h 192.168.0.3 -passwd somepassword Presumably each of the remote machines (and the database server if it runs Zope) needs an entry in the grant table. And all the database connections need to share the same password. Right? 3. Since queries are bound to their connection, there appears to be no easy way to manage connections in a simple way programmatically. Any help/comments much appreciated.

PLEASE HELP with VHM Problem!!
by beno 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

I still do not have a solution to get my VHM working. My programmer is on vacation and I don't know how he's got things configured. I copied, pasted and edited an entry in our httpd.conf file thus: <VirtualHost *> ServerAdmin beno(a)web.vi <mailto:beno@web.vi> ServerName centurionsecurityvi.com ServerAlias *.centurionsecurityvi.com ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.html ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html ErrorDocument 404 /errors/403.html Alias ////icons// ////usr/local/apache/icons// RewriteEngine On # Webalizer RewriteRule ^/usage(.*) /usage/centurionsecurityvi.com$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.centurionsecurityvi.com:80/c… [L,P] SetEnvIf Referer "^$" dontlog SetEnvIf Referer "^http://centurionsecurityvi\.com.*$ <http://centurionsecurityvi%5C.com.*$>" dontlog SetEnvIf Referer "^http://www\.centurionsecurityvi\.com.*$ <http://www%5C.centurionsecurityvi%5C.com.*$>" dontlog ErrorLog /var/log/apache/vhosts/centurionsecurityvi.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache/vhosts/centurionsecurityvi.com-access_log combined CustomLog /var/log/apache/vhosts/centurionsecurityvi.com-referer_log referer env=!dontlog </VirtualHost> rebooted our FreeBSD machine, and then followed the instructions in our VHM by entering these fields: centurionsecurityvi.com /centurionsecurityvi.com (Yes, that's the dir.)

VHM Problem HELP!!!
by beno 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

Hi; It's been years since I've posted here. I've been spoiled by having a full-time programmer :) But he's on vacation and I'm screwed :( I need to get this site posting to the web but I'm having trouble with VHM. I copied, pasted and edited an entry in our httpd.conf file thus: RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.centurionsecurityvi.com:80/c… [L,P] SetEnvIf Referer "^$" dontlog SetEnvIf Referer "^http://centurionsecurityvi\.com.*$" dontlog SetEnvIf Referer "^http://www\.centurionsecurityvi\.com.*$" dontlog ErrorLog /var/log/apache/vhosts/centurionsecurityvi.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache/vhosts/centurionsecurityvi.com-access_log combined CustomLog /var/log/apache/vhosts/centurionsecurityvi.com-referer_log referer env=!dontlog Then I went to VHM through the Zope interface and followed the direction: First box: centurionsecurityvi.com Second box: /centurionsecurityvi.com and yes, that's the folder. But it tells me "The path /centurionsecurityvi.com was not found" What gives? Please help. Waaaaaah! beno

FS based product and image replacement
by Nicholas Wieland 13 Aug '05

13 Aug '05

Hi *, I'm trying to use image replacement in a FS product, but unfortunately I'm not able to catch the image on the FS (a simple gif). The image is inside 'myproduct/images', what I've tried is to create an ImageFile and use it inside the background-image directive inside the stylesheet, but also url("images/foo.gif") with and without the absolute url. How do people use image replacement in FS based products ? TIA, ngw --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail: gratis 1GB per i messaggi, antispam, antivirus, POP3

<dtml-var variable> from REQUEST not shown in <input> tag if it has spaces??
by Thomas Apostolou 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hello everybody, Im using Zope 2.7.0 on Windows XP Pro. I pass some parameters from a form to a DTML method. Inside that method i try to get the parameters with <dtml-var sSQL> ( sSQL is the "name" of the submiting form's field). When i just use it as <dtml-var sSQL> everything is ok. When i use it like : <input type="text" value=<dtml-var sSQL>>, i get everything until the first space. For example from "select * from mytable" i get "select". Is it something wrong with what i am doing? Thank you in advance ___________________________________________________________ Χρησιμοποιείτε Yahoo!; Βαρεθήκατε τα ενοχλητικά μηνύματα (spam); Το Yahoo!

REQUEST.setHeader doesn't seem to work?
by Yuan HOng 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hi, I have a dtml file on FSDV which should return a file in text/plain format. The dtml method starts with: <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/plain')"> ... some content ... However, when I use 'curl -I' to check which Content-Type header is returned, I find it is still 'text/html', despite the call to setHeader. Where could the problem lie? I am using Zope 2.7.6, with Apache configured as frontend (with rewrite enabled). Could it be caused by Apache? -- Hong Yuan 大管家网上建材超市 www.homemaster.cn

Re: [Zope] FS based product and image replacement

Well I think for plain zope there is a skinned folder (or similar named) implementation to apply the same approach except no CMF overhead. I think you could find it on zope.org or google around for it.

FSDump Product query
by Paul Smith 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hi, We've been playing with the FSDump product (http://www.zope.org/Members/tseaver/FSDump) over the last few days, and all appears to be working fine, except for exporting ZClass based objects. The 'offending' part of the Dumper.py script appears to be: def _dumpZClass( self, obj, path=None ): # Dump properties of obj (assumed to be a ZClass) to the # filesystem as a directory, including propertysheets and # methods, as well as any nested ZClasses. if path is None: path = '' path = os.path.join( path, obj.id ) file = self._createMetadataFile( path, '' ) file.write( 'title:string=%s\n' % obj.title ) ### only getting this far as _zclass_ causes attribute error file.write( 'metatype:string=%s\n' % obj._zclass_.meta_type ) file.write( 'bases:tokens=%s\n' % ','.join( map( lambda klass: str(klass), obj._zbases ) ) ) file.write( 'class_id:int=%s\n' % obj._zclass_.__module__ ) file.close() I've indicated within the code snippet above that when parsing ZClass objects, it's only working to the point where it's successfully written out the title to the .metadata file, but then fails. We put in some debug logging, which reveals: exceptions.AttributeError _zclass_[('zope/Products/FSDump/Dumper.py', 158, '_dumpObject', 'handler( object, path )'), ('zope/Products/FSDump/Dumper.py', 454, '_dumpZClass', "file.write( 'metatype:string=%s\\n' % obj._zclass_.meta_type )")]) which suggests _zclass_ is an attribute not available on our objects. These are fairly basic ZClass objects for news items, and I've tried creating several additional test Products to try and determine what is required to get this to work, but to no avail. If anyone has any pointers as to what needs doing to get FSDump to dump out ZClass objects, I'd be more than happy to hear suggestions!
