Apache + Zope + Authentication
by Erick Mechler 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Disclaimer: I have read 3 months worth of mailing list archives to no avail. Any help on the following problem will be much appreciated. I am trying to configure mod_rewrite to pass authentication information to Zope. Here is the current state of things: Relevant section from httpd.conf: --------------------------------- <Directory "/"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all # allows Apache to pass authentication headers to zope RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) $1 [ENV=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1] </Directory> RewriteLog /var/log/apache/rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 9 Zope.cgi -------- #!/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/lib/python/Zope PCGI_PUBLISHER=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=/opt/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/Zope.cgi BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1 Some other information ---------------------- Zope-2.0.1 is installed into /export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/. Web server document root is in /export/www, with HTML and cgi's in /export/www/{docs,cgi-bin}, respectively. After starting ZServer with pcgi enabled, I can connect to http://my.server.name:8080/manage and enter in the superuser name and password. This works perfectly which means that Zope is correctly configured to handle authentication of the superuser. If I shutdown ZServer and go to http://my.server.name/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi, I get the "Welcome to Zope" screen. However, if I try to enter http://my.server.name/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage with the same superuser name and password, I'm denied access. This leads me to believe that the problem is with Apache passing off the authentication duties to Zope. If you need more information, please let me know. My head's sore from banging it up against the wall in my office =) Thanks in advance. Regards, Erick Mechler

Help with Z Search Interface and ranges
by Willie Peloquin 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hi, Could someone point me to an example of a Z Search Interface that will allow me to search for instances with less than or greater than type values: ie. price between 10000 and 15000 price >= 10000 and price <= 15000 I really don't understand how these pages are working.

Can't get ZDConfera to send notification email.
by Ewald Wasscher 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hello, I just installed ZDConfera to try it out, and it works fine, except for that it won't send any reply-notification-emails. I do have a mailhost configured, and I've allowed all roles to "Use Mailhost Services". Has anyone experienced this too, or does anyone have an idea what causes my problems? Sending mail with <dtml-sendmail mailhost="localhost"> works. Ewald Wasscher

Re: [Zope] Help with Z Search Interface and ranges
by Jeff Rush 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Take a look at: http://www.zope.org/SiteIndex/newitems.html/view_source where zope.org uses a lower-range on the date field to show all items new within a recent interval of time. The key is to append a '_usage' string to the name of the field you wish to bracket.   In your case, you'd use both a min and a max:   I can't remember whether the range is inclusive or not i.e. whether it represents >= or just >. -Jeff Rush On Mon, 15 Nov 1999 21:44:16 -0600, Willie Peloquin wrote: >Could someone point me to an example of a Z Search Interface that will allow >me to search for instances with less than or greater than type values: ie. > >price between 10000 and 15000 >price >= 10000 and price <= 15000

Folder Properties
by Adrian Esteban Madrid 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

How can I access a folder's properties from other documents? Example, the Home directory has properties like bg (#FFFFFF), fg (#000000), etc. that I want to use sitewide. I tried it and it works in that folder (/index_html works fine) but in other folders doesn't work /Hardware/index_html). How can I make it work? Do I need to use <dtml-in Home> each time I need to use it? It would be cumbersome and complicated when I'm using other INs for menues and stuff. Any ideas would be apreciated. -- Adrian Esteban Madrid Network Support, ATS Brigham Young University

Example in Technical Introduction to Object Publishing wi...
by Chandu Patil 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Subject: Example in Technical Introduction to Object Publishing with Zope Hi - This is a rather elementary question - but having struggled with this for a couple of days - I will ask anyway! I am learning Zope and one of the articles that impressed me is the one listed in the subject - by Brian Lloyd and Amos Latteier. For my learning system I am using Windows 95 laptop with Zope 2.01. I have the example code (dtml and python) in \program files\zope\lib\python\products\jobboard directory. What is the mechanism by which I can test and run this product? I can get the DTML files in Zope with the management screen. Using the same to get all the python functions seems like a lot of work. Is there another way? Thanks for your help. Chandu Patil

ZSQL and batch processing
by Ulrich Wisser 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hello, I try to make a batched output from an ZSQL result. I got the previous link working. But whatever I do no next page link will be shown. Did anybody already make this thing work? I have 23 objects returned and only five will be in one batch. That part works fine (easy going, out of the box). When I give different qs parameter it works. Only the "next page" link doesn't show up. Any suggestions? Please find my code below.

Zope Content Manager's Guide: Creating a product
by Eron Lloyd 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

I'm having trouble with creating the "HomeSite" configuration interface example in the ZCMG, specifically when trying to add an "Instant Site" object to a page. Specifically, I get a traceback that states the following: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Unauthorized You are not authorized to access manage_changeProperties.

I did everything step by step in the guide. Did I catch a common newbie "gotcha"? Eron.

Zope Startup Questions II (Son of Zope)
by Alexander Limi 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

Hello again. Thanks for the answers to my previous mail, the answers were to-the-point and, as all good answers do, provoked some more questions :) Without further ado, I give you - the questions: - Zope DB size We already have 300 artists, and expect it to come close to 1000 after a short while. The mp3s should be separated from the main DB, obviously, but separating bitmaps from the rest of the data is not desirable. However, with 1000 artists each having - say, 300K of data, one sooner or later approaches the 2G limit for linux boxes when counting the other content on the site. Does anybody know if this is a limitation of the kernel or the FS? And is it going to be fixed in the foreseeable future? On a side note, we plan on storing the mp3s on several servers spread throughout the country, and pass all requests for files to an object that queries the servers for their individual loads at the moment. Any thoughts on how to implement this in an elegant way using Zope/Python? - Backup How does one perform a backup of a file (data.fs) bigger than 1G without going offline? Even copying the file to another location to back it up from there could cause strange behaviour if people are changing details in the database along the way? Or is there something I haven't understood yet? To stop the transactions in the DB every time one does a backup (and 2G of data takes somr time to back up, no matter what solution :) - Multiple servers I've seen you mention ZOE in some of the discussions here, but could not find any information about it on the Zope site. Is this an external or internal product? What does it do? Any info appreciated. - And something from the previous mail: >> 6. This is a bit specific, but anyway: users should be able to write >> "http://mp3.no/artistname" and be sent directly to the artist with that >> name. Does Zope have any specific mechanisms for doing this? Michel wrote: >Uhm.... yes, but it would require some trickery if you want that >information to come from, say, a database, but nothing to complicated. >Otherwise, you can just create a top level folder for each artist. This >could get pretty hard to manage however, you might want to consider >http://site/Artists/artisname This is not an alternative, simply because people want simple URLs, and when they want to promote themselves they prefer URLs people remember. Thus, mp3.no/artistname is important. :) So, could you explain (roughly) the trickery involved in this? In addition, we are going to have two classes of users: artists & listeners, with slightly different needs: Artists should be able to upload songs, enter text for their webpage etc. The listeners should be able to have a customized "view" with login/cookie - a kind of "my.mp3.no" (á la my.excite.com) where they can pick the artists they are interested in, their own "skin" for the website, notification by email when one of their favourite artists releases anything and so on. It would be entirely acceptable for us to have two folders "artists" and "listeners" with the users in, as long as it is transparent to the users. Suggestions on how to best solve this in Zope are welcome (seeing as the Zen is not that strong in us - yet :) Thanks for your time, Alexander Limi MP3 Norway - http://mp3.no
