The 'Zope Zen' of multiple browser windows and _manage
by Tony McDonald 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Hi, This is an observation really. I find that if I have two browser windows open that are both in the 'manage' window that I can get 'unusual' results - pages that I've edited in one browser window don't show up in the other one, as well as a vague feeling of uneasiness. What I'm trying to get into the habit of doing is to run Internet Explorer (not a bad beast on the Mac...) in *a, ie single* 'manage' window and run Netscape Communicator (as an 'anonymous' user). I *believe* it's got to do with cookies and tree's and the like, but that's more from 'acquired' (ho ho) knowledge and not from an in depth examination of the code. Of course, YMMV , but hopefully this will help others out... tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

RE: [Zope] Running ZopeHTTPServer and PCGI together = a bad thing ?

> It's definitely on the list. It has been agreed that > launching processes should not be a *requirement* of pcgi, > especially for mod_pcgi. At some point in the "future" (under 6 months? :-) there's a little widget called ZDaemon that will see the light of day. It deals generically with the issues involved in managing LRP like this, including reforking as necessary and identifying checkpoints so that broken software doesn't restart constantly... this will take over process management from the current pcgi interface, which will make the remaining piece (that would plug into Apache, NSAPI, ISAPI, etc) relatively trivial. Having said that, we'd love to have someone who knows enough about Apache's module interface, to write one of these for the community... Chris

But I guess it keeps it consistent. Well, I've tossed around the concept of a "Script" object, that would be a tidbit of Python code that would actually be stored in the database. This however hasn't been written yet... honestly, DTML was never engineered for much of what it is currently being used for, but unfortunately the alternatives are more painful (with the exception of ZClasses, but it's not ready for use by most people).

FYI: Portal Toolkit Slides and Demo available
by Amos Latteier 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

For those of you who didn't get a chance to see a demo of the Portal Toolkit at Linux Expo, we've put it on-line on the Zope site: http://www.zope.org/Products/PortalToolkit/Tour/ These slides explain what the Portal Toolkit is, and show it in action though the magic of animated GIFs! Just to reiterate, the Portal Toolkit is not yet available, it should be out in beta this month. -Amos P.S. We're thinking of creating more animated GIF demos of Zope. Do you think this is a good idea? If so, what sort of demos would you like to see? Let me know. -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Hi everybody! I have to create a mail sender program (via SMTP protocol) and I don't know how to fulfil the Date field. Which module must I use in order to retrieve the date in the correct format.

Zope/Apache Authentication problem again!
by hcsccs＠prudential.com.my 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Hi all. Refering to Chuck Mead's Zope/Apache HOW-TO email, I found it very useful. Thanks for taking the effort and I'm sure it will not be wasted. I have Red Hat 5.2 with Apache 1.3.6. Anyway, I have a few problems following the instructions. - I can't execute htpasswd command. Why so?? - Can I not use srm.conf? Can I just put the code <Location> ... </Location> into httpd.conf? - Can I put the Rewrit Can you please send the solution to my email as well? Thanks in advance.

Very well done. <snip> I second that - I like this documentation technique. Nothing else could have explained the portal toolkit so clearly in 2 minutes. I think more of these could help newcomers more quickly understand what zope does. Down the road, if you want to add a narration soundtrack, check out the realplayer G2 stuff. I just made a slideshow with voice and music tracks without much hassle at all. -simon

Zope never writes incomplete records to the database, but 'written to file' does not imply 'written to disk' as just about every OS there is buffers reads and writes in memory (Linux and other unicies are especially agressive about buffering). -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 ) >

Recovering zope data
by Corey Ralph 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

i have just had a power outage and lost a fair amount of work on a test server. As it isn't a production server, it had no UPS. Zope won't load, it gives me: Traceback (innermost last): File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 325, in publish File lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 616, in get_module_info File lib/python/Main.py, line 103, in ?

Is there any chance I can fix it?

Zope 2.0.0a1 on DHCP?
by Michael Bernstein 03 Jun '99

03 Jun '99

I have successfully installed and compiled Zope 2.0.0a1 on my home machine, but cannot seem to get it to start. I believe that the reason is that it's connection to the net is a cable-modem, and it's using DHCP. Has anyone else encountered this? I've succesfully installed Zope 2.0 on another machine with a static IP address at work. BTW, I am not so concerned about making this installation externally accessible (though it would be nice), but mainly want to do development at home as well. Setup: Redhat 5.2 Python 1.5.2 (from RPM with threads) Zope 2.0.0a1 Thank you for your attention, Michael Bernstein
