The error occurs because a value is appearing in a pcgi reserved header record, possibly because your application is sending something to stdout. I'm not sure where to tell you to start looking, but if *all* you have done is uploaded .dtml files to trigger the error, that's probably the place to start. I'm honestly confused why this should happen. Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc.

error in pcgi
by Service Informatique CHSR 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

Hello, my site was working great when suddenly, I got a "Temporarily unavailable" message. The pcgi.log reads: unexpected out-of-bound data in stdin t[0]=60 several times. I suppose this means that something is writing to the stream read by pcgi. I didn't do anything other than uploading new versions of my DTML Documents to the site. (I have done this all the aternoon long). Have you already seen this behavior? Does someone have an idea of where to start to find the problem? Regards, Jephte CLAIN, Service Informatique CHSR

Nope, With that definition, my_method expect to be called with the arguments set, eg  to display "Zope is cool". However, I want to get the variable l from the namespace. (application variables made with REQUEST.set, Folder or document properties, etc.) The question was: is self.REQUEST the only way to access the variable namespace? And the only way to *modify* the variable namespace from external methods (with self.REQUEST.set)? By the way, I'd like to thank Stefan Franke and Pedro Vale Lima who gave me a pretty quick answer. I did find the answer before they wrote, but anyway, a thank is not that expensive :-) Also, thanks to Paul who gave me such a useless answer. :-) (just kidding) Regards, Jephte CLAIN Service Informatique CHSR

Hi all, I'm using Zope 1.10 with IIS 4.0 on an NT box. All is working well, I just have one small query which is slightly off topic, maybe. The URL for Zope is 'http://localhost/scripts/z.exe' and I would like it to be 'http://localhost/z/', I know that with Apache I could do a rewrite and this works great with Apache, but does anyone know how I would do something similar with IIS. TIA Phil Harris Mail Phil(a)philh.org IRC Efnet #Zope #PHP WWW www.philh.org

Automatically creating instances for each user?
by Martin Dougiamas 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

Hi, I'm new to Zope, but I'm eagerly learning it. I like the paradigm - it seems to fit the way I think. This is my first post here. I've hit a snag, and I'm hoping someone more experienced can point me in the best direction. I'm developing an application that needs user-modifiable pages. I already have a Zope form where the user can edit text properties of an object, and another page that displays those properties as HTML. My problem is, I want each authenticated user to be editing their own instance of this object, and I also want the URL to be the same for each user. eg fred sees http://host/mypage as fred's editable page mary sees http://host/mypage as mary's editable page What is the best approach I should take to achieve this in DTML?

external databases
by Tom Deprez 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

Hi again, I've a Postgress database with some data I want to use with Zope. So I've to install an external driver. Is it so that I've to recompile Zope? This means that I've to download the source and not the binaries of Zope, like I did... Isn't there a simpler way? Because when I need to recompile, I've do download also all the correct libraries of each program... sghh. Please, let there be a simpler method. Thanks in advance. Tom.

Hi, Can you send me an url where I can see your work? So I can get the idea (especially database related) what is possible with Zope. TIA Tom.

Usernames in ZopeHTTP logs
by Martin Dougiamas 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

I found Zope's HTTP logs at: ...zope/var/server.errors which is what I need to monitor the server, but they don't appear to be including usernames (just a '-' in that field). How can I turn logging of usernames on? Cheers, Martin -- ### Martin Dougiamas -- Internet Agent ### Centre for Educational Advancement is == i see ### http://cea.curtin.edu/staff/martin

installing Zope
by Tom Deprez 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

Hi all, Well, now I don't understand it anymore.... Just back from the weekend (where on Friday I had these installation problems) Now went to the Zope directory and what did I saw? The 'Start' and 'Stop'. I wrote ./Start and then surfed to the correct address and it works! Why did'nt it worked on Friday? The whole weekend searching for a solution and then it appears it isn't needed... (almost) But, still I would like to work with Apache... Why? Because I've heard it's the best in web-servers... (I don't know it's through, but I believe it) Or is the comming ZServer better? Now, I believe I have to recompile apache again to make it ready for Zope, isn't it? I thought I only had to put it in one of the configuration files, but instead you've to write that script in the ./configure file. Kind Regards, Tom.
