Zope stops responding on hpux
by Samuel Bieri 09 May '05

09 May '05

Dear list-members I am desperately trying to get our zope application run on hpux, and any help is greatly appreciated. I have the following problem: When I click on a tal-object ("Page Template") to edit it, then zope stops responding. No error is logged, nothing. I even cannot stop zope anymore with "zopectl stop" or control-c if started with runzope. It seems that zope silently crashes... However, I can create a tal-object, it only happens when I try to edit. The last entries in tracert.log are: <snip> B 1087990040 2005-05-07T22:52:27 GET /temp_folder/tz/manage_workspace I 1087990040 2005-05-07T22:52:27 0 A 1087990040 2005-05-07T22:52:27 302 370 E 1087990040 2005-05-07T22:52:27 B 1087991560 2005-05-07T22:52:27 GET /temp_folder/tz/pt_editForm I 1087991560 2005-05-07T22:52:27 0 ----crash---- The last entries in Z2.log: <snip> 127.0.0.1 - admin [07/May/2005:22:51:57 +0200] "POST /temp_folder/manage_addProduct/PageTemplates/manage_addPageTemplate HTTP/1.1" 302 215 "http://localhost:8080/temp_folder/manage_addProduct/PageTemplates/manage_ad…" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3" 127.0.0.1 - admin [07/May/2005:22:51:57 +0200] "GET /temp_folder/manage_main HTTP/1.1" 200 15638 "http://localhost:8080/temp_folder/manage_addProduct/PageTemplates/manage_ad…" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3" 127.0.0.1 - admin [07/May/2005:22:51:57 +0200] "GET /misc_/PageTemplates/zpt.gif HTTP/1.1" 304 258 "http://localhost:8080/temp_folder/manage_main" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3" 127.0.0.1 - admin [07/May/2005:22:52:27 +0200] "GET /temp_folder/tz/manage_workspace HTTP/1.1" 302 370 "http://localhost:8080/temp_folder/manage_main" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3" ---crash---- My configuration are: Python 2.3.3 compiled from source downloaded from the HP site: http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/python-2.3.3/ This is the only python I manage to compile with-threads enabled.

Has anyone seen a similar problem with zope? Is anyone running zope successfully on hpux? Information on zope on hpux is very scarce, so I fear that I am very lonely in the field... Any hint is greatly appreciated where I can look at or how I could debug zope. Thank you very much Samuel

Re: [Zope] Finding an object in a folder

Please stay on the list! Readded... Allen Huang wrote at 2005-5-8 11:10 -0700: >Thanks for responding, but what is "aq_inner.aq_explicit"?? To understand "aq_inner" and "aq_explicit", you need to understand acquisition. You find something in the "Name lookup" section of <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html> and in Jim's acquisition talk (which your probably can locate via a search for "Jim Fulton acquisition containment before context"). Once you understood acquisition, you know "aq_self", "aq_parent" and implicit and explicit acquisition wrappers. Now, you can understand "aq_inner" and "aq_explicit". To determine "aq_inner" from an acquisition wrapper, you follow its "aq_self" recursively, until "aq_self" is not an acquisition wrapper. The "aq_explicit" attribute of an acquisition wrapper returns an explicit acquisition wrapper with the same "aq_self" and "aq_parent". -- Dieter

OK, I just created a folder, 'gadfly_test', in a Zope 2.7 site, and added a ZGadflyConnection, 'gadfly', using the 'demo' connection. On its "Test" tab, I executed the following: - Create the table create table EMPLOYEE( emp_id varchar(25) , first_name varchar(25) , last_name varchar(25) , salary integer ) - Add a row with no Unicode: insert into EMPLOYEE( emp_id, first_name, last_name, salary ) values( 'aaa', 'J. Random', 'Hacker', 100000) - Add a row with pasted Unicode (note that this is going to get encoded on the way in): insert into EMPLOYEE( emp_id, first_name, last_name, salary ) values( 'bbb', 'Étienne', 'Jones', 100000) - Selected all values: select * from EMPLOYEE - Selected the non-unicode value out successfully: select * from EMPLOYEE where first_name='J. Random' - Selected the value out successfully: select * from EMPLOYEE where first_name='Étienne' (the expected row is returned) I would eliminate the possibility of a Gadfly encoding bug by testing the RDBMS you actually want to use (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.). If you can reproduce the problem, including the steps you take and the actual SQL you are using, then submit a collector issue: http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope Tres.

Specifically, how do i make sure that the query that zope passes on to the underlying RDBMS is in utf-8 ??

problem with ZODB
by JV Singh 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello Everyone.. I have been a silent member of the list mostly.. There is a slight problem that needs to be addressed rather urgently... The thing is that though unicode strings can be input and retrieved into the database through Zope.. For example, for the table EMPLOYEE<emp_id, first_name, last_name, salary> the query select * from EMPLOYEE where emp_id = 3 (some number) works but select * from EMPLOYEE where first_name= 'some unicode string' doesn't work... I'd appreciate some input on this.. --JV.

Is it possible to extend Zopes WebDAV authentication?
by mark hellewell 08 May '05

08 May '05

Hello! I'd like a little help, please :) I have a site that uses PluggableUserFolders for its acl_users. The web-based portion of the login process locks out a user after 3 unsuccessfull attempts at the password and i'd like to be able to do something similar for users who try to connect via WebDAV. I'm sure something like this should be possible but am uncertain where to begin. Is it possible to override the authentication methods used by WebDAV? If so what are those methods? I'd be grateful for any help and insight into this problem! Many thanks, Mark

RE: [Zope] RSS feed: post-processing?
by MILLER Eva 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi, OK, let me see if I can do that... I've already figured out that a python script/external method solution is what I'm after. But how to make it work? Anyone know about Greasemonkey in Firefox? Basically, it embeds a handy link in Web pages that have ISBN numbers in them (unique identifier for a book). When you configure Greasemonkey right, it checks for the book in your local catalog and returns a link to that book in your local library catalog. The trick is to use the same idea, but inside of Plone with an RSS feed that displays current bestsellers or other book-related stuff where there's an ISBN included. Here's the sort of python script I need, to the best of my knowledge, though the first function I can't use (it checks against an Amazon Wishlist--I don't want anything to be dependent on Amazon or a particular browser). Jon Udell provided it, and he's the one who wrote the LibraryLookup bookmarklet that does something similar to what I want: import amazon, re, urllib2 wishes = amazon.searchByWishlist('BNQ1T3SLPJS7'); def rss( items ): return """<rss version="0.91"> <channel> <title>LibraryLookup reminders</title> <link>http://www.amazon.com</link> <description>Remind me when books on my Amazon wishlist become available at the library</description> %s </channel> </rss> """ % items def isAvailable ( isbn ): url = 'http://ksclib.keene.edu/search/i=%s' % isbn page = urllib2.urlopen(url).read() return re.search ( 'AVAILABLE', page ) is not None items = '' for wish in wishes: isbn = wish.Asin if ( ( re.match( '\d{7,9}[\d|X]', isbn ) is not None) and isAvailable(isbn) ): items += """ <item> <title>%s</title> <link>%s</link> <description>%s</description> </item>\n """ % ( wish.ProductName, wish.URL, wish.Authors.Author ) output = rss ( items ) name = 'libraryReminders.xml' f = open(name,'w') f.write(output) f.close() -------------------------------------------------------- So, I need to simplify this script (get rid of the wishlist stuff), create an external method for it, then figure out how to get the template in CMFSin to call the external method. I've never done any of this before (which probably explains why I have a hard time describing my problem better). The CMFSin template I need to alter looks like this, and I'm not sure exactly where or how to call the method: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US" metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master" i18n:domain="plone"> <metal:block fill-slot="base"> <tal:block tal:define="dummy python:request.set('disable_border', 1)" tal:replace="nothing"> Disable the tabs </tal:block> </metal:block> <div metal:fill-slot="main" tal:define="true python: 1; false python: 0; verbose python: 1; sin here/sin_tool; m request/synmap; results python:sin.sin(m); Batch python:modules['Products.CMFPlone'].Batch; b_start python:request.get('b_start',0); "> <div class="contentHeader"> <h1 tal:content="m">Title or id</h1> </div> <tal:block tal:define="batch python:Batch(results, 15, int(b_start), orphan=1)">  <div metal:use-macro="here/batch_macros/macros/navigation" /> <dl tal:repeat="obj batch"> <dt><a href="#" tal:attributes="href obj/link" tal:content="structure obj/title"/>  <span tal:condition="python: obj.get('date') or nothing" tal:content="python: (obj['date'])"/></dt> <dd><span tal:condition="python: verbose and obj.get('description') or nothing" tal:replace="structure obj/description"/>  </dd> </dl>  <div metal:use-macro="here/batch_macros/macros/navigation" /> </tal:block> <p tal:condition="not: results" i18n:translate="description_no_items_in_feed"> There are currently no items in this feed. </p> </div> </html> -----Original Message----- From: Chris Withers [mailto:chris@simplistix.co.uk] Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 6:12 AM To: MILLER Eva Cc: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] RSS feed: post-processing? Sorry Eva, You'll need to explain your problem more succintly for people to be able to help. If you really do need to scrape the urls from the text, then a combination of python's xml handling and regular expressions is probably what you're after, best done in an external method and not a python script... cheers, Chris MILLER Eva wrote: > Hello, > > I've been puzzling over something but can't figure out a solution.

A memory leak in Zope, PageTemplateFile and macros?
by Marco Bizzarri 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi all. While debugging an application of us I suspected we had a memory leak, so I started with the usual divide et impera approach, trying to figure where exactly was the problem. I therefore started removing all code from inside the main templates in our system, so that I could figure where the problem was. The surprise was that even if I removed all the code, still I was able to see the memory footprint of the zope server raise as new requests arrived. I'm using ab from Apache project to test. I've devised a very simple product which shows the problem, which I include. I tested this with python 2.3.4 and Zope 2.7.6 Test string was: ab2 -A admin:admin -n 100 http://localhost:8080/LeakPT1/start_html Regards Marco

Security framework troubles
by Anders Bruun Olsen 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi, I am attempting to make a zope product (a custom book-database for use by my employer) and of course want to secure it. I have added this code to my class: security = ClassSecurityInfo() security.setDefaultAccess("deny") security.declareProtected("View Bookbase", "index_html") security.declareProtected("View Bookbase", "standard_page") security.declareProtected("View management screens", "manage_main") And also of course InitializeClass(Bookbase) When the template tries to access container/title an access denied expection is raised. With VerboseSecurity I get this explanaition: Unauthorized: The container has no security assertions. Access to 'title' of (Bookbase at /bookbase) denied. What exactly am I missing here? It works if I do setDefaultAccess("allow"), but I don't want to allow access by default and then just deny for those I know I want to deny access to. I want it the other way around. -- Anders -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/O d--@ s:+ a-- C++ UL+++$ P++ L+++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w O-- M- V PS+ PE@ Y+ PGP+ t 5 X R+ tv+ b++ DI+++ D+ G e- h !r y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ PGPKey: http://random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD4D…
