MySQL Database Adapter
by Liz 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

I'm trying to hookup mySQL database to Zope. I've tried everything. I've downloaded the latest DA. I've follow ALL of the README.TXT instructions. I've reinstalled all of the C libraries. I just can't compile the damn thing. Could someone out there please be kind and treat me like a two year old and explain in explicit, excruciating detail and how install the DA. I must've missed something simple that everyone else "just knows". I'm on a Debian/Apache box running Zserver with Zope 2.0.0 and Python 1.5.2. What are the versions of all of the other components I need? In what order do I install them? Thanks in advance, Liz Pelletier

ODP 0.03 release
by A.M. Kuchling 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

I realized that some things were accidentally left out of the ODP release -- such as the actual Zope product! Therefore, I've implemented the missing mk* commands, fixed various problems, added the Zope product as a .zexp file, and issued a 0.03 release. http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/zope/ODP.html -- A.M.

Having problems mirroring a Zope site with wget
by Itai Tavor 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

Hi, I need to create a static copy of a Zope site. I dealt with all the basic nuisances like using .html instead of _html, adding .gif/.jpeg to images, etc. and it works fine, except for 2 problems: 1. Images retain their full URL. wget downloads and stores images in the right places on the static copy, but doesn't modify the SRC from "http://my.zope.site:8080/some/path/image.gif". Is there a wget option I'm missing that will deal with this? 2. I'm using the VirtualHostFolder product to serve sub sites from a single Zope server. wget on a virtual site works fine, except for images. Given the following Zope site: / subsite/ - VirtualHostFolder index.html images/ some_image.gif some_folder/ index.html images/ another_image.gif wget http://subsite.zope.server:8080/ creates the following: / index.html some_folder/ index.html subsite/ images/ some_image.gif some_folder/ images/ another_image.gif And, again, wget fails to change the image SRC from the full URL. Again, it looks like the only way around it would be some wget trick I can't think of. The wget command I'm using is wget -r -nv -nH --no-parent http://zope.server:8080/subsite/index.html Thanks, Itai -- Itai Tavor -- "Je sautille, donc je suis." -- itavor(a)vic.bigpond.net.au -- - Kermit the Frog -- -- 'Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?' -- -- 'Supposing it didn't,' said Pooh after careful thought. --

Integration with other application servers
by Bjorn Stabell 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

Hi there, I've followed the SiteServer/ASP vs. Zope discussion, and I have a variant of it. It's pretty obvious that with SiteServer you're in Microsoft land. How about application servers that mainly implement their logic through servlets and java server pages (JSP)? I see these solutions as more open than Microsoft's. I'm not exactly looking at a pros and cons evaluation between Zope and other Java-centric application servers, but rather if it makes sense, and if so how, to make them work together. By the very nature that we're doing work with IBM, I'd like to know how (if any) tight an integration I could get between Zope and IBM WebSphere. Would it make sense to use them together? Could Zope be bytecompiled with JPython and run on a Java application server? Zope as it stands, independent, proud, is a tough sell to anyone that has standardized on other middle-ware. If it could run closely together with other middle-ware, it'll be much easier to sell. I was thinking an ideal solution would be to have the option of using Zope at the topmost layer to glue together dynamic webpages, supported by a more standard middle-ware (like Java-centric application servers) that would again provide access to other systems, like Lotus Notes, Net.Commerce, SAP, legacy systems, etc... Besides the "nonstandard middle-ware = tough sell" argument, it does make sense that more systems would provide interfaces into a more standardized middle-ware layer.

hi, anybody working on a classified class/product? i'm in the thinkiing process and has a few questions: 1-which is better? ZODB or using relational database? with ZODB, i'm thinking of ZCatalog as the main engine. 2-if the site has massive hits, which will respond better? storing data in ZODB or external relational database? comments and pointers are welcome. tia

Editing downloaded + installed product?
by Stefan Hoffmeister 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

I have downloaded a nice-ish looking product, all complete with .dtml, .py, .gif etc files. Now I would like to take this product, strip it down to the barest bones to understand its (and Zope's) inner workings, then resurrect it to learn developing at least something stupid and mindless. Problems: a) I see no way how to "modify" any installed product. (I suspect that this cute "closed box" symbol means: no way - but I have yet to find docs to this respect) b) I do not seem to be able to get a copy of this product into Zope in an "editable" form. c) I do not seem to be able to add some "plain", straight-forward Python code to a ZClass that I have created from scratch; only adding an External Method *on disk* can be added? (and this finally leads us to...) d) I suspect that even if I modify all that on disk I will have to restart ZServer each time? Could somebody please shed some light on this? Thanks!

Distributing product "unmangled"
by Stefan Hoffmeister 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

I have no problems "distributing" a product. My only problem is that my "test-x.x.tar.gz" contains __init__.py product.dat version.txt while all other products that I have downloaded so far contain the "raw", "unmangled" material, e.g. __init__.py addRedirector_form.dtml manageRedirector.dtml VERSION.TXT ... What am I missing (and how do I get rid of this "mangling")?

I suspect this can't be done, especially since user's permissions can change from object to object..that's not even the hard part.
