RH 6.1 Startup error
by Paul Grunwald 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

I've been fooling with Zope under Win98. I decided to try it under Linux and I'm getting the following error: File "z2.py", line 379, in ? from Zope import ZLogger File "/usr/share/zope/lib/python/Zope/ZLogger/__init__.py", line 86, in ? import ZLogger File "/usr/share/zope/lib/python/Zope/ZLogger/ZLogger.py", line 7, in ? loggers = (stupidFileLogger.stupidFileLogger(), syslogLogger.syslogLogger(), ) File "/usr/share/zope/lib/python/Zope/ZLogger/syslogLogger.py", line 13, in __ init__ self.client = syslog_client() File "/usr/share/zope/lib/python/Zope/ZLogger/syslog.py", line 147, in __init_ _ self.socket.connect (address) socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused') Config: ------- RedHat 6.1 Zope 2.01 -2 RPMS I haven't changed anything from the default installs, it's a fresh 6.1 upgrade from 5.2. Permissions look ok and I get the same errors from startup as I do when I try and run /var/zope/zserver.sh as root. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. P.

Zope CVS setup for .py files missing?
by Christian Tismer 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Howdy, today, I loaded the current Zope2 CVS tree and windiff'ed it against the current source release. Windiff, which is incapable to treat CR vs. CR/LF correctly, showed me lots of changes for many .py files, which were just non-adjusted line endings. Especially the Gadfly files were stiull in Unix format. AFAIK, this is a configuration option for the CVS server, which files are to be treated as text and which not. Is there possibly a config problem? thanks - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@appliedbiometrics.com> Applied Biometrics GmbH : Have a break!

Re: [Zope] Something want to ask you!

I run a win98 machine at home that has both dial-up networking (i.e., uses a modem to connect to a service provider) and also an ethernet card (not connected to a network). Both are bound to tcpip. When I point IE5 at Zope's address (Zope running on the same machine), I get the dial-up network requestor asking if I want to dial into the service provider. But if I cancel that or tell it to work offline, then I will connect to Zope correctly. On my previous computer, also running Win98, I did not have a network card. I had to connect to my service provider using dialup networking before I could connect to the web server on my own machine (I wasn't running Zope then). Apparently I had to connect to the service provider to get Windows to load the tcpip software.

Re: [Zope] Zope and long running sessions question...
by Thomas B. Passin 26 Oct '99

Typically, the page would compute what url to ask for at the client (i.e., in the user's web browser), using (most likely) javascript to figure it out based on the user's entries in the form. The server doesn't need to be involved at all. This is desirable. You don't need Zope, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc. for this. If you want to use Zope to perform the logic anyway, you can 1) have Zope return a page based on the form contents, or 2) have Zope insert different contents into the page to be returned, depending on the form's variables.

I think we need to mention to NOT override __getattr__, if I understand how aquisition works; or at least override it with care, right? What if I want to avoid aquisition sometimes?

Zope Components
by Oleg Broytmann 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Hello! Many times I saw a description of Zope: "Zope is free open-source web application platform..." I want to add two words here: "component-based" and "object-oriented". This sounds a little too buzzwords :) but I am pretty sure this describes Zope nature. While we are on the subject... I use ZTemplates outside of Zope with a great success. Tthere are a lot of documentation on how to use ZTemplates with Python. There are docs on using ZODB, although the docs seems very complex at first glance; may be it is because ZODB is really complex and powerful. In any case I'd prefer to have (along with complex and detailed) somewhat simpler docs with demos and examples. There are some words on using PCGI without Zope and with Python. PCGI Publisher looks simple enough to not need complex docs. But what about Aquisition? I saw some docs on Aquisition on Zope site, but cannot figure out how to use Aquisition with Python. Any help, any tip, any example? Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann Foundation for Effective Policies phd(a)phd.russ.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

creating a ZClass within a Product with Python
by Markus Jais 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Hi folks, I hava a litte Problem. I have a Product written in Python, which inherits from ZClasses. Now I want to add a ZClass to the Product with Python. my first thougt was, to simply put "manage_addZclass(id)" in the Constructor, but nothing happened (no ErrorMessage, no ZClass was visible, when I clicked on the Product in the management screen) Does anybody have an idea how to do this. Or an url, where I can see an example. Thank you very much! Markus Jais

You'll need to build ZOracleDA on the Sun. For this, you'll need the Sun version of the oracle client libraries. I don't think Oracle make their client libraries available separately.
