Newbie: Two questions regarding DTML.
by Rachid van Es 08 Jul '99

08 Jul '99

Hi, I'm an intern at my university working on a system for web-based course-support, using Zope. I've run into two major problems, could someone shed some light on this, please? This is my Zope directory tree: # + # Control Panel + # Extensions + # Quickstart # acl users - # home # acl users + # images - # ondpsy # acl users + # images 1. When I create a DTML document in /home which contains the html-code for a navigation bar, that uses gifs from home/images, how can I prevent Zope from referring to /home/ondpsy/images when I use that DTML object thingie in my /home/ondpsy/index.html? When I rename /home/ondpsy/images to something else, no problem, but I don't want to do that! 2. A standard_html_header created in /home when used in /home/ondpsy/index.html still uses the title given to /home/standard_html_header instead of the title given to /home/ondpsy/index.html - is that normal, or am I missing something? Kind regards, Rachid

Zope and Apache -- almost there

I am having some difficulties to get Zope working with Apache. I have Red Hat Linux 6.0 running, using the bundle Apache 1.3.6. My set up is: Apache Config Files is under /etc/httpd/conf Apache Log Files is under /etc/httpd/logs CGI BIN is at /home/httpd/cgi-bin Zope is at /usr/local/servers/Zope Here is my httpd.conf: ServerType standalone ServerName mars.littlecircle.com PidFile logs/zap.pid ScoreBoardFile logs/zap.scoreboard Timeout 300 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 StartServers 5 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 30 User nobody Group nobody ServerAdmin kcheung(a)littlecircle.com ServerRoot /etc/httpd LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so LoadModule config_log_module modules/mod_log_config.so LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so LoadModule includes_module modules/mod_include.so LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so LoadModule asis_module modules/mod_asis.so LoadModule imap_module modules/mod_imap.so LoadModule action_module modules/mod_actions.so LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so LoadModule proxy_module modules/libproxy.so LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so LoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so ClearModuleList AddModule mod_env.c AddModule mod_log_config.c AddModule mod_mime.c AddModule mod_negotiation.c AddModule mod_status.c AddModule mod_include.c AddModule mod_autoindex.c AddModule mod_dir.c AddModule mod_cgi.c AddModule mod_asis.c AddModule mod_imap.c AddModule mod_actions.c AddModule mod_userdir.c AddModule mod_proxy.c AddModule mod_alias.c AddModule mod_rewrite.c AddModule mod_access.c AddModule mod_auth.c AddModule mod_so.c AddModule mod_setenvif.c Port 80 DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/ TypesConfig /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types <Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> RewriteEngine On RewriteLog logs/zap_rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] ErrorLog logs/error_log LogLevel warn LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common CustomLog logs/access_log common BrowserMatch "Mozilla/2" nokeepalive BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "RealPlayer 4\.0" force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "Java/1\.0" force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "JDK/1\.0" force-response-1.0 #<Location /server-status> # SetHandler server-status # Order deny,allow # Deny from all # Allow from .your_domain.com #</Location> #<Location /server-info> # SetHandler server-info # Order deny,allow # Deny from all # Allow from .your_domain.com #</Location> #<IfModule mod_proxy.c> #ProxyRequests On # #<Directory proxy:*> # Order deny,allow # Deny from all # Allow from .your_domain.com #</Directory> # #ProxyVia On #</IfModule> # End of proxy directives.

But judging from the discussion that I have found in this list, I should be pretty close to getting it work -- at least I didn't get a "document not found". Anyone can help? Kam On Cheung

a newbie in trouble with tree tag and sql methods
by Lauri Posti 08 Jul '99

08 Jul '99

hi, i'm trying the tree tag + sql meth example that was discussed in this group some weeks ago. the sql method works fine, tree tag shows the correct information, but the only thing wrong is that expand/collapse of tree doesnt work correctly: the first node expands all other nodes exept itself and all other nodes collapse all nodes. any ideas what might be wrong?? i'm using Zope 2.0.0a3 with python1.52 on linux2.2 and postgresql6.5 the sql method i'm using is: --- name: query argument: param --- SELECT id as obj_id, nimi as name FROM asutus WHERE  ylem=  ylem IS NULL  and tree tag is:   ,   data im'm using is: test=> select id,nimi as name, ylem as paernt_id from asutus; id|name |paernt_id --+-----+--------- 1|tty | 2|ut | 3|ebs | 4|cyber| 1 7|phys | 1 8|chem | 2 6|filo | 2 5|keel | 2 9|tpu | 10|kala | 9 11|kamm | 9 12|jura | 9 (12 rows) Thanks in advance, Lauri

Can I change the authentication realm programmatically?
by Evan Simpson 08 Jul '99

08 Jul '99

Depends on how you're invoking Zope. If you're going in through pcgi, then edit the line BOBO_REALM=Zope in your Zope.cgi. If you're using Publisher.py in some other way, set the enironment variable BOBO_REALM or Z_REALM. else-please-specify-ly y'rs Evan Simpson

Zope uses HTTP basic authentication, which is what pops up the dialog box. Any other method you want to use (cookies, form variables being passed around) you'd have to roll your own. Note that UserDB does cookie auth as well as basic. As for the mysql issue, I suspect the bottleneck is purely a MySQL thing if Zope doesn't behave that way all the time. Note that even though you may be running Zope in threaded mode, the MySQL client library for python (which we did not write and do not support) is not thread safe, so you should NOT run Zope 2.0 with more than one thread if you want to use MySQL. Someone may want to patch the MySQLDA so that the whole thing is wrapped in a lock, or serializes requests before the client library is entered. Either way, given that no one is paying us to do it, we probably won't. -Michel > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, > zope-dev(a)zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

intermittent slowdown
by Jens Vagelpohl 08 Jul '99

08 Jul '99

hi everyone, guess tonight i'm on a roll with all these questions :) thanks a bundle for the helpful answers i got on my previous queries, those problems are solved. i'm not sure if this one has to do with zope itself or my platform or other environment factors: when i work in the management interface i experience intermittent "hanging" when jumping from one object to the next, e.g. after editing a dtml method i click on a folder name in the left-hand navigation bar to switch to that folder. i will get there, but it does take 30-60 seconds sometimes. the funniest thing is, it does not seem to happen when viewing the website and navigating through it, only when "managing" it. to make it even more interesting, when i have two browser windows, one "viewing" the site and the other "managing" it, if i experience one of those hangups on the "manage" side and just navigate or refresh on the "view" side the hangup on the management side gets resolved as well and i get wherever i wanted. am i the only one who has seen this behavior? my setup is RedHat 6.0, python 1.5.2, Zope 2.0.0a3 on ZServer, all on a dual P166MMX with 256M ram. thanks again for the help so far :) Jens Vagelpohl

Success (almost) building Zope using mingw on NT
by Miller, John M. 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Well, Thanks to some great instructions at http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/ and a couple small patches I've manage to get Zope extensions to build as .pyd's on my NT machine using mingw. And surprisingly things work, almost. Zope running with ZODB2 is utter perfection, however I run into some problems (most certainly of my own making) trying to run ZODB3. I'm too lazy to type in the entire traceback (Windows is being picky about letting me copy and paste from my command window), but here is hopefully the important stuff: Traceback (innermost last): <snip> File "C:\mingw\Zope\Zope-2.0.0a3-src\lib\python\ZODB\Connection.py", line 118, in __init__ self._cache=cache=PickleCache(self,cache_size, cache_deactivate_after) TypeError: function requires at most 2 arguments; 3 given. So I poke around a little bit and decide (as an experiment), in Connection.py, to try changing from cPickleCache import PickleCache to from BoboPOS.PickleCache import PickleCache since the PickleCache there has three arguments (for the __init__ function, that is). Rerunning Zope I get _almost_ exactly the same error message: Traceback (innermost last): <snip> File "C:\mingw\Zope\Zope-2.0.0a3-src\lib\python\ZODB\Connection.py", line 118, in __init__ self._cache=cache=PickleCache(self,cache_size, cache_deactivate_after) TypeError: function requires at most 3 arguments; 4 given. Harumph, I know not at all what to make of this. Any hints on what may be causing this? TIA, John

Aquisition
by Jason Spisak 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Just a heads up, I noticed that some of the contributed products don't acquire in Zope 2. Specifically TinyTables, and the Calendar tag. I'm curious what changed to make that happen. It's seems the same for both products. Just a shout to ask if anyone knows what spcifically changed about acquisition from Zope 1 to 2? I tried loking at the code, but got lost trying.
