I'll rule out incompetence until I hear more about _what_ exactly goes wrong on your systems. ;) Fyi, I have set up Zope on two NT servers (standalone ZServer) and two Linux boxes (with Apache/PCGI), and they all work perfectly. One point worth examining is which version of Zope you're attempting to use. I would decidely put my cards on the latest Zope beta (b6), as it seems quite stable.

If you mean ZopeHTTPServer -- which would mean you're using Zope 1.x -- use of this module is deprecated. Stick with ZServer instead. When you start up ZServer it should say emit some information saying which port it's on. The default port in Zope 2 betas is 8080. >The start.bat file is using the > wrong python executable (python was already installed on the > system). Zope can coexist with another Python installation, though. If start.bat uses bin\python -- and iirc, it does -- this is not necessarily "wrong". On Win32, Zope comes with its own Python distribution, and using it is recommended. >The > problems go on and on, I will not bore you with them. Actually, we can't help you unless you tell us what's wrong. You're essentially saying that things don't work, but you're not saying how they don't work. Go ahead, bore us.

I don't quite understand this question. Zope *IS* a CGI "script". All of the CGI functionality is available. Most of it has higher-level support, so you don't usually need to do much at the primitive CGI level.

generating static files in the filesystem
by Heiko Stoermer 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Hi Zopists, I'm currently working on an authoring system for my company to prove them how cool zope is... In short: they want an application to enter data with which html-documents will be generated. the problem is that they want static html files on their harddisk to serve them with apache, or their netscape server (don't ask...). So: does anyone have a brilliant idea on how to get DTML-Documents (with their data stored in properties) out of Zope as a complete file? (to make it worse: including the embedded images...) One approach I thought of was to write a HTTPClient that sucks the pages out of zope via the web, but actually I don't find this to be a very elegant solution. Thanks for thinking about it :) Heiko -- Heiko Stoermer MIG Augsburg

Faking a login
by Itai Tavor 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Hi, I'm developing a Zope site, and during development anonymous access is disabled to it. I need to allow people who get to the site by clicking on a link in another site to get in without a password. What I thought to do was create a "gateway_html" document with anomymous access enabled, and in it check HTTP_REFERER against the URL of the forwarding page. If they match, I want to login the user as user "Preview", which has permission to view the site, without presenting a login dialog. Is this possible? -- 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. --

Using imports in external methods
by Victor Ng 01 Sep '99

How do I use "import" in an external method? Zope just gives me an import error. Let's say these are the two files that I want to use (test1.py, test2.py). test1.py -- import test2 test2.testMethod() test2.py -- def testMethod(): print "output.txt"
