If you are using ZServer w/PCGI, nobody should only need read (but the user that you are running ZServer as must have read and write). If you are using PCGI alone to crank up the process by itself, then nobody will need both read and write in the var directory. o if you are using PCGI w/ZServer, something bad could have happened at startup and the PCGIServer isn't listening (so the pcgi-wrapper fails to connect). Usually this would cause ZServer to fail to start, though. Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

RE: [Zope] How to hack the standard_html_header

BTW, this is a feature we are going to add to the Personalization. That is, give you a spot to supply your own CSS (without having to maintain your own std header). --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephan Richter [mailto:SRichter@ixl.com] > Sent: Thursday, August 19, 1999 11:22 PM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] How to hack the standard_html_header > > > Hello guys, > > Just wanted to ask how you can edit the standard_html_header > at the Zope Portal. > I really would like to do this, so I can put my own CSS at > the right spot. > > thanks, > stephan > -- > Stephan Richter > iXL - Software Designer and Engineer > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (To receive general Zope announcements, see: > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

Re: [Zope] pcgi error message.
by Andrew Lahser 20 Aug '99

I'm stymied as well. But I do know what it means. Your trying to use a webserver, such as Apache, with Zope. When a request comes into your webserver, your webserver attempts to send the request over to Zope. Here is how. 1. Request arrives at web server. 2. Web server sends request to Zope.cgi. With Apache, a mod_rewrite rule is necessary to pass the authentication information because Apache usually handles basic authentication. 3. Zope.cgi, as configured by the Zope install process, starts up pcgi/pcgi- wrapper. 4. The pcgi-wrapper reads the environment from the Zope.cgi file 5. The pcgi-wrapper determines if the socket is available, and sends the request to the socket of your long-running process -- Zope (Zope2) or pcgi_publisher.py (Zope 1). 6. If the socket is not available, the pcgi-wrapper trys to start the publisher and send the request. 7. The pcgi-wrapper sends the response to the web server, which delivers it to the client Your problem could be in serveral areas. 1. If you are using Zope beta 4 or under, do the following. (This could be fixed in beta 5.) cd /Path/to/your/zope cd pcgi ./configure make This will remake the pcgi-wrapper, which will fail to connect as compiling in the installation tarball. There was a thread on this very topic last week or the week before, you can search egroup.com/list/zope or review the archives from the zope.org site 2. Your Zope.cgi is not configured correctly. There are serveral helpful readmes. In order of importance. doc/INSTALL -- grep for pcgi -- How to start zope with pcgi server enabled. doc/WEBSERVER -- grep for pcgi -- How to setup your webserver to send requests to Zope.cgi doc/FAQ.txt -- a question on what to do when getting "failure to connect" pcgi/README -- overview of pcgi pcgi/Win32/README.nt -- if you do that sort of thing You can also test your pcgiinfo file (Zope.cgi) using the pcgi/Test/parseinfo program. 3. Permissions are set incorrectly for the var directory for Apache or Zope. Mind you, I still haven't figured out my problem, but I am reasonably certain about these notes.

RE: [Zope] printable page option

Yes, it should have that option, but remember it's in beta. For the next week, though, we'll be spending most of our time fixing what is there and trying to hold off on adding new things. Certainly by the time we cut over the old site it will be working. --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Jordan B.

Slice Bug in Zope 2b5 ?
by Oliver Dissars 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hello, since I installed the b5 of Zope 2 I can not use anymore the slicing function for database result sets. The following query works with b4 without any problems: select LastName as Nachname, FirstName as Vorname, Company as Firma from contacts order by LastName .............. Wenn I try to use the result slicing for database queries in b5, Zope generates this error message: ------------------------- cut here -------------------------------------- Error Type: TypeError Error Value: slice index must be int Traceback (innermost last): File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 209, in publish_module File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 199, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: list_all_contacts_2) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 154, in mapply (Object: manage_test) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: manage_test) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/DA.py, line 307, in manage_test (Object: list_all_contacts_2) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: <string>) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 610, in renderwb (Object: list_all_contacts_2) File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_InSV.py, line 388, in __getitem__ File /test/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_InSV.py, line 212, in query TypeError: (see above) ------------------------- cut here -------------------------------------- Changend anything from b4 to b5 for slicing?

Hi all, Anyone know why my How-To is not showing up in the new Zope Beta. That is I created a how-to and it doesn't show up with the other how-to's on the documentation page. Even if I do a manual search for how-to's it doesn't show up. :( TIA Phil phil(a)philh.org ~~~~~~~~~~

Q: How to serve Files/Dirs as documents?
by Thomas Riedl 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hi there! After some interruption to my Zoperies (live's no mercy, right? ;-) I'm wondering about this: I'd like (for IMHO quite obvious reasons ;-) to have some mapping from my (Unix) filesystem to Zope objects, like I have directories with (DTML) files which I's like to 'render'. I'm thinking of quite regularly changing file content (due to events external to zope) along with a good deal of 'binaries' whose "meta informations" (version, author, notify-upon-change a.s.o.) are stored in the DTML files. It's also possible that vi-nics want to meddle with them (so, no Emacs EFS support for those boneheads). ( E.g. an User uses his browser to navigate himself to a some 'documentation area'. He then could see for all docs residing there their author, current version, last update time, approval by and all that. By clicking on a 'Document Data' button, his browser would e.g. start some 'version control' wrapper along with StarOffice. If there are changes, this very wrapper would rewrite the appropriate '*.dtml' file. ) A "Magic Black Box" Zope thing would then e.g. try to match an object path to directories, read something like '.properties'-files for each directory to represent folder properties and e.g. '.properties.file.dtml' for each leave object 'file.dtml' and of course use acquisition. ( Such a path might e.g. read '/Zope/Filemap1/home/thatsme/currvitae' and hit a 'currvitae'-File that contains something like 'This is ' and e.g. 'thatsme/.properties' containig a line 'me=My Real Name' Filemap1 according to my current idea would be a Product instantiation of my/some TBD "Magic Black Box FileAccess" product. ). Q's now are: Does this Make Sense? Is there something that could keep me from reinventing a wheel? Why wouldn't I like to do it this way? And which way is the Zen Way to go?
