current CVS Catalog code is busted (lexicon support)
by Anthony Baxter 21 Feb '00

21 Feb '00

[also reported to collector, but this breaks textindex Catalogs totally, so I thought it was also worth cc'ing to the list] The current CVS version of ZCatalog has a couple of nasty bugs in it. First off, the standard nonglobbing Lexicon uses a variable 'self.counter', without ever initialising it. Oops. Secondly, Catalog handles the default Lexicon case inconsistently. In the case of a lexicon being provided, it stores the name as self.lexicon, otherwise it stores a Lexicon _object_ as self.lexicon. Later on, it tries to do a getattr with the lexicon object as the second arg. The first bug utterly breaks non-globbing Lexicons. The second bug breaks textindexes that don't provide a lexicon at creation time. A patch for both follows. Note that the patch tries to handle gracefully existing Catalogs and Lexicons that might be broken. The complete fix would also handle the case of the Lexicon being created in a saner way - maybe always store the name... ?

Can you? :) > > Alexander. The documentation on-line is the most up-todate information. It actaully deals with this issue. It seems that when called <dtml-var hbanner> it will barf like this. If you call it like this: <dtml-var "hbanner.get_banner()"> it works fine. In future versions, I anticipate eliminating the requirement for Renderable, along with a fix for this. -- In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900

using Zope on a third-party web hosting provider
by Matthew Scott 20 Feb '00

20 Feb '00

After I evaluated Zope on my home machine and started using it to develop a web site, I wanted to use it to revamp and improve upon another web site I run. The problem was, I only evaluated and started using Zope on machines that I had full, administrator access to. The web site I wanted to revamp is on a third-party hosting site where I don't have much control. I searched through mailing list archives but couldn't find a suitable solution that would work on the provider I use (csoft.net) I figured out a solution that is only slightly awkward and works fine for my uses, so I am posting it here for others to use. Hopefully this will allow more people to evaluate Zope and more people to use the product on third-party virtual hosts. Some configuration details about csoft.net's servers before I outline the solution. You'll have to take these into account if you adapt this to another provider. * telnet/ssh access is provided * necessary compilers/interpreters (gcc and python) are installed * CGI scripts can run anywhere in the www tree as long as they have the .cgi extension * scripts can be called with or without their extension -- i.e. as long as there are no other files starting with "zope" you can call zope.cgi with either zope or zope.cgi in the URL * htaccess files can be used for authentication * your CGI scripts are run under your UID The solution (adapt to your provider): * unpack zope into your home directory (I named my folder ~/zope) * go into ~/zope and run: python w_pcgi.py This will compile and prepare Zope for use * edit your ~/zope/start script to read as follows (this turns off the web, FTP, and monitor servers as well as turning off debugging) #! /bin/sh reldir=`dirname $0` PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export PYTHONHOME exec /usr/bin/python \ $PYTHONHOME/z2.py \ -w '' \ -f '' \ -m '' * edit the "access" file (or create it if it doesn't exist yet) and put in one line: superuser: (You can name the user whatever you like. Remember the colon after the username; do not put anything after the colon though) * cd ~ * htpasswd -c zopeusers superuser (This will prompt you for the superuser password. Change superuser to whatever name you want your superuser to be) * cd ~/www (this is the root document folder on csoft.net accounts) * cp ~/zope/Zope.cgi ./zope.cgi (Copy the zope CGI script to your root document folder. I actually called mine domain.cgi so I can go to www.domain.cgi/domain/folder/etc but you can name it whatever you like * mkdir manage; cd manage (This will make a management folder that will authenticate your password. This is where it gets just a tad klugey) * create a .htaccess file in this folder containing this: AuthType Basic AuthName Zope-realm AuthUserFile /path/to/your/home/zopeusers require valid-user * cp ../zope.cgi . (This provies your manage folder with access to Zope) I hope I didn't leave any steps out. Here is how you view and manage your new Zope installation based on the instructions above: * to view your Zope objects as normal, just go to http://www.domain.com/zope/ (or http://www.domain.com/zope.cgi/ if you cannot leave off the trailing .cgi) * to view your Zope management interface, you need to go to http://www.domain.com/manage/zope.cgi/manage and authenticate yourself. You can actually view your Zope web here by leaving off the last /manage but you will still need to authenticate yourself. Some notes: * if you want to add users to the Zope interface, add them there with no passwords. Then, go to your home directory and type "htpasswd zopeusers username" to add/change a user in the password list that apache uses. * if you need to use Zope as your index file, use your index file in your root document folder to redirect. For instance, since csoft.net supports PHP, I can create a small one-line index.php3 file to accomplish this very quickly: <? Header('Redirect: http://www.domain.com/zope/'); ?> Please let me know if there are any improvements you can see in this setup, or any pitfalls I have not yet discovered.

New to Zope help needed
by Lee Catlett 20 Feb '00

20 Feb '00

Hi to all those who have been there and done that, First of all, I haven't and would like to ask a few questions to those who are out there in stellar lands if I could. I've basically read the docs and played with the demo somewhat although not exactly clear and have some really basic questions. Like:: 1. Does the first folder you make, represent your main page?? Told you these were simplistic!! 2. If that is the case, then all folders under the main must be subpages of the site, Right? 4. How to you link the different folders(pages) together? Hysterical by now I bet!! 3. How do you get apache to look at zope for it's first index.html page when it gets it's first page from the ../httpd/html directory?? Also new to Linux!! 4. Is there an already put together site somewhere that would show me all this info without having to bug anyone and I could just look and maybe figure this all out for myself?? Wouldn't believe I do this in the NT world with ease would you! This is just such a different twist for me it's a little confusing (really a lot). Anyway if I could get a response from anyone I'd probably be elated after this episode, and thanks Regards, Lee

Re: [Zope] worldpilot INBOX error

I have tried setting the imap paths to my old university account (ucsub.colorado.edu) which runs on a SunOS 5.6 box, and all works fine, just not on my Linux boxen (i have tired it on two seperate RH machines). If I set up a new account with only a few messages in the inbox, all works fine, but on older accounts with a much larger /var/spool/mail/* file, I get the original 'INBOX' error message.

Is there a HOWTO document for using database content, or more specifically, with Sybase ASE 11.9.2? A more generic one on creating content with databases would help too. Thanks -- Lucas Vogel lucas7(a)home.com ICQ: 44697169

Hi, How can I force a field to just have a value type? Example: the name field will just receive letters, it can'r receive numbers. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Another thing. Do anyone knows where I can get information about Tiny Tables? I already searched in www.zope.org, www.egroups.com, and www.google.com, but I couldn't get anything. Please send you answers to: psilva(a)ruido-visual.pt Thanks, Pedro

worldpilot INBOX error
by daniel＠denverdomain.com 20 Feb '00

Hi, I keep gettinh this message when I log into worldpilot. I'm using UW IMAP on Linux (RH6.1 2.2.14). It does authorize my username though, as I have access to everything else in worldpilot. And sometimes, it will work but will hang for quite awhile, when it does come back with mail it only shows my unread mail, everything else has no subject or sender, and is dated at 1969. This only happens after I get the error message below and click on 'Inbox' again. Weird Anyhoo, one last thing, I have the two-day problem with my time, Setting TZ=GMT in my zope start script gets me closer, but since I don't run GMT I need to either set it GMT -7 or MST, but can't figure out how to do this (it doesn't recognize MST) Thanks Dan- --------------------------------------------------------- Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. readonly Sorry, a Zope error occurred.
