repost: Zope on Windows 2000 won't start
by Michael Simcich 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Sorry for the repost, but having Zope out of action for a couple of days has been a bummer... >>>>>>>>> I've been running Zope (2.1.4) for a while on NT4sp6 as a service. After installing Windows 2000 Professional a fresh install of Zope won't run. It shows as a service that should start automatically, but it doesn't start even after rebooting. Trying to start the service manually returns an unknown error according to Windows. The install of Zope itself seemed to occur without error. Anyone have any ideas? Are others running Zope on w2k? Thanks Michael Simcich AccessTools

I am not (yet) using XEmacs, but as this HowTo explains: http://www.zope.org/Members/nemeth/usingEmacsWithZope you have to make sure you switched off backups in efs.

https://zope/manage
by ethan mindlace fremen 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Zopistas, I'm trying to get all the manage pages to be secure through Roxen. I have implemented a rewrite rule ( ^/(.*)manage(.*) https://foo.net/$1manage$2 ) that will, for example, secure */manage_main. However, all the links are http:// instead of https://, so with one click you're insecure again. It would seem that something like the Access Rule + Site Root would be appropriate. Indeed, if I use a Access Rule with a base of https://foo.net, the manage pages do indeed work securely. However, then *everything* including the public pages are rendered securely, which is overhead I'd rather avoid. Basically, I need to alter generated url's based on a regexp, not a prefix. Alternatively, I need to alter all the management code so it generates https:// links instead of http:// links. (and whatever method I use has to work for many SiteRoots, i.e. many virtual hosts) I've been poking around in both SiteAccess and lib/python/App/Management to see what I could modify, but have thus far come up dry. If someone could point me to where/what I should be doing, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ethan Fremen http://mindlace.net

XEmacs removes proxies
by Michael Hamilton 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

I've noticed that, when editing DTML via an XEmacs ftp client, proxies are removed when you save the file. This doesn't seem to happen if I use a normal ftp client. Has anyone else encountered this problem and solved it? I'm using XEmacs 20.4 with Zope 2.1.4. --- Michael Hamilton ( http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/michael.hamilton )

What's up with calling DTML methods with arguments?
by John Morton 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Scenario: I have a GUF based authentication system that uses a SQL database to store user profiles. The primary key of the user table is a serial number, so my users can change there username anytime without throwing the tables into a mess, but usernames are otherwise used as a unique ID for a user, so I need to do a name to user_id lookup before doing most queries. I've also got it set up to handle different password hash methods so I can migrate to a new one if the present one sucks - to make this easy I've got a DTML method called encodePassword that takes a password and the (typically acquired) pwd_format property and gets the appropriate external method to turn it into the password hash. So in my password change report I want to do something like this: (name and new_password arrive from the request, pwd_format is an acquired default) <dtml-call "sql_change_password( user_id=sql_get_user_id(name=name), password=encodePassword(password=new_password), pwd_format=pwd_format )"> But I can't because Zope throws a fit about infinite recursion. Bummer. Ok, how about this: <dtml-let password="encodePassword(password=new_password)" user_id="sql_get_user_id(name=name)"> <dtml-call "sql_change_password( user_id=user_id, password=password, pwd_format=pwd_format)"> </dtml-let> That doesn't work either. It seems that when I pass arguments to the method encodePassword, it ceases to acquire anything else from the environment, including my default pwd_format value, and all the external methods that live in the same folder. This is a pain. No arguments, it acquires, give it arguments, it doesn't. If I wanted it to not acquire things from the environment I'd use the <dtml-with ... only> container, but someone has made that call it seems. So how do I supply a method with an argument and tell it to look in it's folder for other properties and methods to acquire? Am I forever doomed to wrap annoying <dtml-let> containers around all of the methods that I want to acquire properties from the rest of Zope? John.

Apache 502 proxy error
by Thomas 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Hi folks, I'm running apache with Zope and I am now getting a 502 error very often each time I try to make changes through the manage screens. I get the following exact message: ************************************* The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request POST /frontpage/zindex2/manage_edit. Reason: Error reading from remote server Apache/1.3.6 Server at www.51go.com Port 80 ************************************** Has anyone gotten this kind of error before? Any ideas as to where it comes from. The weird thing is that IF I am persistent and submit the form a few times, it eventually accepts the changes. Thanks for any help, Tom

images on windows zope server
by Terry Kerr 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Hi, I installed zope 2.1.4 on windows NT Server. There were no problems with installation. I installed a product that was developed within zope 2.1.3 on a linux box. The product worked fine under zope on linux, however, Zope on windows does not server any of the images properly. It seems tructate each image such that netscape only displays the first few rows of the images. All the management screens work fine however, and adding an image to a zope folder and then displaying it from netscape works fine. Is there something wrong with my product code? terry
