Debugging product init with zopectl?
by Konrad Rokicki 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi all, I'm new to Zope, getting started with the "minimal" project (http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/HowTo/minimal_01) For whatever reason, minimal doesn't work out of the box. That would be fine except that when I start Zope with zopectl it reports status as fine and the process runs, but I don't get any logs generated and I can't connect to the server. But, if I use runzope I can see what's wrong and the server dies immediately: File "/var/lib/zope/zope-test/Products/minimal/__init__.py", line 8, in initialize constructors = ( AttributeError: manage_addMinimalForm My concern isn't this error, which I fixed by importing the function explicitly. But why did I have to use runzope to see this? Shouldn't zopectl inform me that the server is completely broken? By the way, I'm using a standard Gentoo installation of Zope, and I haven't changed any options from defaults. Could someone please tell me if this is expected behavior? Should I be using runzope in a screen or something? Thanks, Konrad

utf-8 vs. unicode question(s)
by Jürgen Herrmann 07 May '05

07 May '05

hi out there! there's been some discussion about utf-8 vs. unicode strings on the list lately. i'd like to ask if my gained understandings are correct und thus possibly make it clear to others also. i have set my python default encoding to utf-8, i always send http responses from zope as utf-8 (by setting the header like this: tal:define="dummy python:request.RESPONSE.\ setHeader('Content-Type','text/html;; charset=utf-8')" ) so if i'd like to use unicode strings in my zope applications, it's still necessary to convert request variables to unicode by using unicode(REQUEST.foo, 'utf-8'), right? as far as i understodd, the conversion back to utf-8 is handled automagically by zope (if the abovementioned header is set), also correct? thanks in advance for your answers! regards, juergen herrmann _______________________________________________________________________ >> XLhost.de - eXperts in Linux hosting << Juergen Herrmann Weiherweg 10, 93051 Regensburg, Germany Fon: +49 (0)700 XLHOSTDE [0700 95467833] Fax: +49 (0)721 151 463027 ICQ: 27139974 - IRC: #XLhost@quakenet WEB: http://www.XLhost.de

MySQLdb and unicode
by robert rottermann 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi there, I have a problem using MySQLdb and unicode. with older version (0.92) I could set a parameter "unicode" to the connect() method to tell MySQLdb what charset to use. This parameter is not accepted anymore. The only way to deal with non ascii character I found was setting pythons default charset to utf-8. is ther an other way ? thanks Robert

It is perfectly OK to have several user folders. The "closest one" looking towards the root of the ZODB will be used when accessing a resource, and if it cannot resolve the credentials the next one up is consulted, until you reach the root user folder. The fact that authentications falls through to the root user folder makes me thing the LDAPUserFolder instance is misconfigured. jens

Password Protection
by Phil Beardmore 06 May '05

06 May '05

This may be a really simple thing to do (but I'm a bit stuck and searched the web but found no answers). I have a Plone site working great. I have a folder which I wish to password protect (and all of the data in the folder). Thing is, I want to use our LDAP server for authentication. I have the site setup as normal with an ACL_users folder. I then have a folder called "protected". In this folder I have added a LDAPUserFolder object and linked it with our main LDAP server. Question is, how do I use this LDAPUserFolder to provide authentication for the "Protected" folder? Thanks

xemacs ftp and scripts
by Dave Whiteley 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hello, I am very new to zope, and I am not an experienced lisp programmer - please accept the standard Newbie apologies. I am avoiding the use of DHTML, as this seems to be the approved policy. Most of my work has been using page templates, and internal and external python scripts. I am trying to use Xemacs to develop and maintain a site that I created via the web interface. I have connected using the xemacs ftp link, and can edit. I have a couple of problems. Firstly, my xemacs did not recognise my Script(Python) files as being Python, and so it does not automatically switch to Python Major Mode. I added the standard shebang "#! /usr/bin/python" to the start of the file which fixed this. However it would be nice if it were to recognise Zope's script preamble. Please could someone point me at a resource to help me configure my Xemacs for this. Secondly, I found that after I had edited a script the web interface no longer showed the file as a python script, but as a DHTML file. When used, I just saw the script contents. Is this related to my adding the shebang? I have now removed it again, but it has not fixed the problem. Is there any way I can switch them back (without using copy and paste)? How do I avoid this happening? I am using Debian "Sarge" Linux, which provides Zope 2.7.

ZEO and session variables.
by Dennis Allison 04 May '05

04 May '05

I am just setting up a multi-headed distributed system with several Zope heads all communications with a ZEO backend. The zopes can be on the same machine or on different machines connected through a high speed backbone. In our system, all zopes are frontended with pound. zope1 | zope2----- ZEO-----zope3 | zope4 We make heavy use of session variables. Normally, with a single Zope session variables are stored in a temporary folder, but, as such, they are are not shared between the zope heads. In the multiheaded system, the session variables need to be shared and therefore must be managed by ZEO. What is the recommended best practice for this? -- Dennis Allison * Computer Systems Laboratory * Gates 227 * Stanford University * Stanford CA 94305 * (650) 723-9213 * (650) 723-0033 fax * allison(a)shasta.stanford.edu * allison(a)sumeru.stanford.edu
