ZServer & CGI scripts

Can ZServer run normal cgi scripts?? My thought is to run ZServer and run PHP3 scripts via a php3 compiled cgi. Anybody have thoughts on this?? TIA, Daren

No access file found...
by Chris Larson 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

OK. After finally getting my ISP to migrate me to a server with a current Python, I once again leap into the fray. I've placed my 'var/' into '/tmp/', to get around NFS, and updated my instance home to /tmp. Now I have a shiny new problem to play with. Zope can't see 'access'. Is the path to access assumed from INSTANCE HOME, or is there some place I can specify it? (I'd kinda rather avoid putting it in /tmp, ya know?). And before ya ask, yes there _is_ an access file in /---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/, and it does contain a "superuser:" style entry. I've included the traceback, and my Zope.cgi below. Any help would be much appreciated. Chris PS Any comments on using '/tmp' to contain 'var/' as an NFS bypass? '/tmp' is not mounted via NFS. The traceback ----------- Sorry, a SERIOUS APPLICATION ERROR occurred.<p>  My 'Zope.cgi' ----------- #!/---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Main PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=/---my-path---/cgi-bin/Zope-1.10.2-src/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.p y PCGI_EXE=/usr/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/tmp/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/tmp/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/tmp/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/tmp

cgi_module_publish cookie prsing errors?
by tsarna＠endicor.com 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

All of my "real" sites are still running under Principia. Recently a number users of these sites have had their machines upgraded. Those now using the latest versions of IE and Netscape are unable to access the sites now unless they turn off cookies, or they get an error in cgi_module_publish to do with parsing cookies. (I'm still trying to get someone to send me the actual error text). Anyone out there using Principia still? Have you seen this? Anyone using Zope seen this?

MIMETools
by Michel Pelletier 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

Greetings, I am looking for people to test the new MIMETools Component. MIMETools add the  tag to DTML. It does not supply any objects that can be added to Zope. It is important to remember that this is alpha software and may not work as show here, or at all. YMMV (Your MIME may vary). The #mime tag is a container tag that formats it's contents into a valid MIME container. A quick example usage is:  This is the first part.  This is the second.  This will rendered to the following: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531" --216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This is the first part. --216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 VGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgc2Vjb25kLgo= --216.164.72.30.501.1550.923070182.795.22531-- The tag is documented in the MIMETools README.txt file. The #mime tag is particulary handy in conjunction with the #sendmail tag, and an example is given in the README.txt. The MIMETools component can be downloaded from: http://www.zope.org/Download/Prereleases/MIMETools/ Regards, -Michel

The idea of a Zope sessions is not the kind of session your talking about here. In the next release, 1.11, Sessions will be called Versions to clear up this confusion and to free up the object namespace so we can support "real" sessions like your asking about. What Zope calls Sessions (Versions) let you work in an area of your Zope system and edit/break/change it without the changes being reflected to anyone else until you save the session (version). The kind of Sessions it sounds like your looking for are not implimented yet. There are some very sticky issues that need to be thought out completely. We don't like to impliment solutions without making sure that the solution is general enough to be uselful in all problem domains. This kind of thinking is why Zope is so cool in the first place. For now, if you want to keep session-like information laying around you'll need to home grow your own based on whatever mechanism you prefer. Please be sure to let us know what kind of system you come up with so we can consider it in our implimentation of "real" Sessions. It looks like John Jarvis posted an interesting Cookie Cutter Product this morning, you might want to look into that (I haven't yet). -Michel > Can I use it for user-session with anonymous users > to remember user-session-data, or are the a better > way to implement it (raw-cookies?). > > I am usually using Microsoft's IIS/ASP with the application- > and session objects which is quite convenient. > > > //johan > > > > torped > johan carlsson > birkagatan 9 > 113 36 stockholm > telefon 08-32 31 23 > mobil 070-558 25 24 > fax 08-32 89 47 > johanc(a)torped.se > > > _______________________________________________ > 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 ) >

XML and Object Oriented DBMSes
by Robert OConnor 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

There is a good article in InfoWorld at http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?/features/990329xml.htm titled: "XML buoys databases for corporate markets Web and XML keep object-oriented databases afloat in a world gone relational" by: Brett Mendel This may be a good basic reference to put in zope to promote the OOP point of view. I like this: ***copy "I think it's a matter of efficiency, compactness, and directness," said Rita Knox, vice president and research director at the Gartner Group, in Stamford, Conn. "It's not that these things can't be done with an RDBMS, it's just much more efficient with an ODBMS." RDBMSes, for example, use rows and columns for every instance in the database, regardless of whether a particular cell is needed in a particular instance; ODBMSes only store the particular parts of the data actually used in any specific instance, Knox explained. ***end copy- bobo connor bob(a)rocnet.com
