It's not an easy route, but it appears to be the best of a bad choice. -Dom -- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

SQL queries?
by Ethan Fremen 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Zopistas, I'm kinda stressing on this one... Is there any way I can do SQL queries to a remote machine without having to have a DA and Zope instantiated on that machine? I just need to run queries, nothing more than that. (the machine is HP-UX and the database is Oracle 8.0.5.1) Thanks tremendously, -- Ethan "mindlace" Fremen you cannot abdicate responsibility for your ideology.

No, as they'd be different architectures. If you had a Sun Oracle installation, you could build it against that on the web server and still access it remotely (probably). -Dom -- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

how to access data:text?
by Oliver Frommel 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Hi, this is a pretty easy question I guess .. How can I access the "text attribute" of a DTML document (index_html) e.g. from DTML? In the HTML source I can see that it is referenced as "data:text". I could not find any pointers to approproate attribute of the DTML document object. thanks Oliver

So the Session class handles the session ID (i.e. maps it to a particular user, for example), right? Any object to the right of the Session object would have to be traversable (is this always the case?). If I want to keep the site structure, I also want to have the session object call the original URL after authenticating. http://zope.server/Session/0x1234/stuff/info/abc should call the original http://zope.server/stuff/info/abc so I need some redirector logic as well. And then it's easier for the 'calling site' to encode the session id like http://zope.server/stuff/info/abc?id=0x123 than to put it in the middle of an URL string. Is there a way to inherit the capability to handle 'get' (id) parameters in random Zope objects?

I had this problem, and it is basically because the binding order of the network components is wrong. What you have to do is delete your DialUp adaptor, then reinstall it. At least, that's what I had to do.

PCGI, Apache and Zope
by Gregor McEwan 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

After searching through the mailing list archives for everything with PCGI in the subject I've noticed that there have been a lot of mailings on this subject. A lot of them have come close to my problem and I have enthusiastically tried all the fixes that seemed relevant. Unfortunately nothing seems to have worked yet. Maybe I missed a vital step somewhere. The Problem Last week I had Zope 2.0.1 running fine using our existing Apache 1.3.3 server on Solaris 2.6. I was able to access everything ok and had got so far as running through the online tutorials. This week however it seems to have stopped working. Whenever I try to access Zope I get the error: Temporarily Unavailable The resource you requested is temporarily unavailable - please try again later. (102) failure during connect The rewrite rule in Apache is working. The var directory has full permissions. Other cgi scripts on the server, in the same cgi-bin directory, work correctly. I tried the pcgifile.py on my Zope.pcgi file to test it and get the following error: Python 1.5.2 (#2, Sep 2 1999, 19:01:59) [C] Apache/1.3.3 (Unix) PCGI info file: /home/phelps/WWW/htdocs/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi PCGI wrapper: /home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper module not found: /home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/lib/python/Zope status: FAILURE /home/phelps/WWW/htdocs/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi #!/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/lib/python/Zope PCGI_PUBLISHER=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/Zope.cgi BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/home/mcewan/Zope/Zope There is a directory /home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/lib/python/Zope. I looked at the source for pcgifile and found that the error comes after pcgifile checks to see if the module path is a file. I notice from the mailing list archives that older versions of Zope produce a module path that points to a file. Is there a problem with my setup or a problem with pcgifile in this case? In case it's of interest, if I change the pcgifile code to check for a directory (so it passes this test) I get the following complaint: PCGI info file: /home/phelps/WWW/htdocs/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi PCGI wrapper: /home/mcewan/Zope/Zope/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper error attempting: 'from cgi_module_publisher import publish_module' status: FAILURE I checked to see if it works using ZServer and everything seems to work fine. I have a feeling that I've missed something really simple and obvious but I've been playing with this all day now and don't seem to be getting any closer to solving it. Can anyone help with this?

That's a bit harder than it sounds, would need some work. We can make a simple page that renders them all in one big document, however. Or perhaps a page on the zope site that you can point wget at and d/l all of them as a series of HTML files... -Michel
