Use multiple user folders, one for each 'client' directory. The Content Managers guide also has a good section on security. -Michel

Can I create 'callbacks' for HTTP server errors..
by Tony McDonald 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

HI all, I was wondering if there's a way of getting Zope to do something other than return a 'Zope Error' when a 404 or 500 error occurs (or indeed any other error I want to trap). I'm running with Apache as the front-end handing off to a PCGI/ZServer combo... Do I need to get some gloves on and delve into medusa, or can I do is simplisticly with DTML? ta Tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

Structure of website How?
by Alwyn Schoeman 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hi, I've got this idea of a website but being a zopebie I don't know how to structure it in zope. The site is for a company that supply different internet services. The company has several clients. There need to be a general area and then there must be areas for each client. The client must log in and then be transported to his site which lists only the services that the client has subscribed to, client specific news, etc. All client sites must be similar and only differ on authentication and services subscribed. Each site must be private from other clients and it must be possible to differentiate between different users from the same client. Any ideas on structuring? I especially don't know how you can do the authentication without doing it in Apache. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alwyn Schoeman Systems Engineer Prism Secure Solutions From: Acronyms of the New Millennium.

Newbie PARENTS question
by Chris Cooke-Johnson 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hi there, I'm trying to reference the folder above from a DTML method. Basically what I'm looking for is an equivalent to the the  which will give the id of the parent folder. In the DTML reference I found an explanation of the PARENTS attribute with seems to be what I want but I'm getting errors with both:  and  How do I do this? Also, is it possible to nest calls? I.E. How can I make:  --> or similar In other words how can I make a compound call based on path (or other) variables? Thanx in advance. Chris

Hi, Imp is written in python yes?

Re: [Zope] zope.cgi file under NT installation?

One example I have is this one: > I have Zope running using pcgi behind a Netscape Enterprise server on NT. The configuration may not be exactly what you want, but it may help somewhat. A lot of what I did to get this working was based on the IIS instructions, and it does actually work (honest). My zope installation on the server is in the directory H:\Zope. File Zope.pcgi: #!H:/cgi-bin/pcgi-wrapper.exe PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_MODULE_PATH=H:/Zope/lib/python/Zope PCGI_PUBLISHER=H:/Zope/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=H:/Zope/bin/python.exe PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=H:/Zope/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=H:/Zope/var/z2.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=H:/Zope/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 INSTANCE_HOME=H:/Zope PCGI_PORT=9079 I don't use the file associations as suggested for the IIS configuration. Instead I created a file zope.bat: @h:\cgi-bin\pcgi-wrapper h:\cgi-bin\zope.pcgi I had to make a couple of small changes to pcgi-wrapper and recompile it (these may not be needed for IIS): File pcgi.h: Change: #ifdef WIN32 #include <windows.h> #include <io.h> #include <iostream.h> #include <winsock.h> #endif to: #ifdef WIN32 #include <windows.h> #include <io.h> #include <iostream.h> #include <winsock.h> #include <fcntl.h> #endif And in pcgi-wrapper.c add the following lines just after the #ifdef CLOSE_FDS...#endif #ifdef WIN32 _setmode(fileno(stdin), O_BINARY); _setmode(fileno(stdout), O_BINARY); #endif Without these changes to force stdio into binary mode, I was able to get it working on HTML documents but GIF files were corrupted. -- Duncan Booth duncan(a)dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan

This doesn't really solve the problem your having does it? What if they kill the monitoring process too? I think the real problem is your ISP. Tell them not to kill your processes. -Michel

Zope and Search Engines
by Geoff Caplan 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hi If I am understanding correctly, it is possible to pass parameters with Zope through a "normal" URL - ie a url that does not use the ?name=value format. Does this mean that a search engine robot on the home page would be able to spider to the dynamic pages? If this is the case, it is a very major plus for Zope... Thanks Geoff Caplan

Remember to upload any external methods from your /Extensions directory (also remember that unix requires that to be uppercase whereas win32 doesn't care), and also any Products that you might have added. I've personally found it useful to use BASE1 in URLs ie. <A HREF=<dtml-var BASE1>/folder/folder2> which gives me more leeway on customizing zope to work with apache, zserver or whatever at a later date. chas
