There are no igorant questions :) FastCGI integration with Zope, like the other transport implementations, will be totally transaparent to the developer - the only time you will have to think about it is when you install it.

error accessing manage page
by Mike Mikkelsen 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hello fellow Zopesters! I just setup zope with apache using the instructions in the how-tos. Everything works great except that after generating a new password with the zpasswd.py utility I now get the following error when trying to access the manage page: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: TypeError Error Value: call of non-function (type module) Troubleshooting Suggestions The URL may be incorrect. The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. For more detailed information about the error, please refer to the HTML source for this page. If the error persists please contact the site maintainer. Thank you for your patience. At work I was able to get into the manage page without any problems. When I got home and tried to access it (via point to point isdn -- it works, trust me) I kept getting rejected because of bad password. So I telnet'ed in and changed the password. Apparantly, I broke something because now, no matter what I put in the domains field, the username field, the password field, or the encoding field, I get this error. I'm lost..... Any ideas? (Oh Great Phil, I know you have the answer, buddy! ;-) ) -- Mike Mikkelsen

changing properties of a zclass
by Markus Jais 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

hello, maybe this is a too simple question, but I don't know what to do anymore. I have a Zclass called "Dokument" and I have an Instance called "Dok" in a folder. In the same folder, there is a DTML-Document, from where I call an external python-method. The Zclass has the properties "author" and "version". What I want, is to change the properties of the Instance "Dok" with the python-method. I want to do it with the following code: self = getattr(self, "Dok") self.manage_changeProperties(Author = 'Bill Gates', Version = '400th beta') The method has no error, that is, it does not crash, when it is called. But the properties are not changed... and I am going mad, slowly but surely! Does anybody have a idea, what went wrong???? Thank you very much. Markus

Squishdot gets squished... Bug: 1 Squishdot: 0
by Samuel A. Falvo II 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

At our news site, www.armored.net/News, only the three most recent articles show up on the main screen. There should be /four/. Our site is configured for /ten/. Nothing shows up in "Older Stuff". Any idea why? Does anybody else experience this problem? I am using Squishdot 0.1.5b, as downloaded from Zope's website, along with the updated .py file, as downloaded from the instructions posted on squishdot.org. Thanks for the assistance. ========================================================================== KC5TJA/6 | -| TEAM DOLPHIN |- DM13 | Samuel A.

Zap Error
by Ze Octavio 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Hi all, I am trying to use ZAP with Zope 2.0.1 under RH 6.0, but when I run ./startzap I recieve the normal confirmation telling that Apache is runnig, but when I get a list of running processes I cant see the pid or the Apache's instances. And sure, I cant access http://localhost:80/ When I get the error_logs, I get this above: zap: [Thu Sep 30 18:14:09 1999] [alert] (22)Invalid argument: initgroups: unable to set groups for User nobody and Group 4294967295 zap: [Thu Sep 30 18:14:09 1999] [alert] (22)Invalid argument: initgroups: unable to set groups for User nobody and Group 4294967295 zap: [Thu Sep 30 18:14:09 1999] [alert] (22)Invalid argument: initgroups: unable to set groups for User nobody and Group 4294967295 zap: [Thu Sep 30 18:14:10 1999] [alert] Child 7756 returned a Fatal error... Apache is exiting! I already changed the zap.conf to the port 80, and used "chown -R nobody.nobody Zap/" but didn't work too. Somebody can help me ?

feature request for web-email please ?
by chas 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

OK, in a fit of misplaced enthusiasm I volunteer to fix Notmail (or at least take a stab at it) .. unless somebody else is already doing this. In fact, I was going to port my own webmail package, Pymail, to zope anyway but was wary of undertaking the task for fear of subjecting others to my not-so-great coding skills. You can check Pymail at mail.ethos.st (username=test/passwd=123456) It's been running for over a 18 months without problem. Now, webmail can be just an interface for IMAP and I can simply port all my scripts to zope using DTML methods and documents, mixed with an external method or two. But this won't make a great foundation for groupware (which is the reason I'm willing to get the ball rolling on this) - so I figure most of you would want some form of zclasses or object paradigm applying to this, right ? I'm also thinking of how Notes/Domino use mail. So, any ideas/requests ? Btw, I can't promise when I'll get a beta done - so if somebody else needs this soon or was planning on doing it quickly, let's talk. Also from an earlier mail that I posted with an incorrect subject line : [snip] Which brings me finally (see i wasn't just being crass) to the question and point : for Zope to be used in groupware (or in the 'mailing list archiver'), it needs to integrate with email seemlessly - as in, mail can be sent to the server (not to a person) for agents to handle. So, what's the best method of making this happen ? Send to a traditional email address (eg. using qmail or sendmail on the server) then pipe to a python script which then does what ? seems a bit yukky. [/snip] cheers, chas

The first problem I am facing is printing reports to pre printed forms loaded in dot matrix printers. The program has to drive the printer to print the info at the right spot on the form. The second problem is how to print barcode(Code39 symbology) on some documents. The barcode encodes the document number. I have found a barcode class written in Java. Is there a way to use Java class within Zope? Regards, Ping

Possible bug in 2.0.1?
by Kuraiken 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Hi all! I've been doing stuff with ZopeTime - dates and zsearching them in zcatalogs. Thanks to Michel, I've got that working...but only on Zope2.0.0 I've tested it on 2 different Zope2.0.1 sites and in each case searching for the date (even using "Catalog(date=ZopeTime(date))") turns up "no match". On the 2 _other_ Zope2.0.0 sites, this works! I have no idea what or where the problem might be but here's what I can say: Zope2.0.1 sites are all compiled from source. One running on FreeBSD and the other on Solaris Zope2.0.0 sites are both from "binary" tarballs and both running on Linux2 (Mandrake Linux 6.0) Anyone else encountered this? -- ----------------------------------------- Kuraiken - Python fanatic. ----------------------------------------- Python.
