Re: [Zope] Impact of Zope on hosting provider?

I contacted NexusWeb yesterday and they said they would provide a setup for Zope, but no support. They were not specific as to the setup. They did mention they supported Python. I was going to write them back to see if they ran Zserver, or just provided the links to Apache. They did have msql and mysql. The minimum plan to support Zope was the 50MB/$20 a month plan. The other site was out of my price range ($50/mo). I just started studying Zope yesterday to use for a project I was planning to use Visual Basic/ADO/ASP for. I'm testing on a Win95 machine, but plan to move testing to a Linux box. I decided before signing up with a hosting server to wait for Zope 2, which I've seen a couple of references to. What's the deal on that? One place promised a better integrated web server. If Zope moves more torward being a totally self contained server, then I don't want to mess with Apache or IIS. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Wentworth <rhww(a)erols.com> To: zope(a)zope.org <zope(a)zope.org> Date: Tuesday, March 16, 1999 4:25 PM Subject: [Zope] Impact of Zope on hosting provider? >Right now my biggest obstacle to setting up a Zope-powered >site could be finding a hosting provider I have confidence >in who is willing to run Zope.

Hmm... the screenshot didn't seem to 'travel' too well, Guess you'll just have to install PIL to see it. ;) Cheers, A.

Hi All, I'm just uploaded a new Product to the contrib area. It is a poll product based on Amos's example. It uses PIL to draw piecharts of the poll results. I was originally going to include a precompiled PIL with the product, but the product swelled to 500k as a result, so instead I've left pointers to where to get PIL in the product documentation. I'll send a hypertext screenshot immediately after this message so that people can decide whether or not they want to go to the effort of downloading and installing PIL. Pls note that there are some problems I'm having with getting the GIFs to update appropriately, so after banging my head against a wall for a while [in true opensource tradition ;) ] I've decided to throw it open to the floor to see if anyone can find a workaround. I've also uploaded a 'fixed' version of the Guestbook example product, which broke going from Zope1.9 -> Zope1.10. Enjoy! Andy.

Anyways I want to say that my suggestion does just what 'select last_insert_id()' does. namely return the number created in an auto_increment field during your last insert Sture Lygren > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > Tom Jenkins DevIS (http://www.devis.com) > Linux & Samba 2.0 : The best Windows file server > http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/issue/0,4537,2196106,00.html > "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Hi, I just saw an interesting thread over at http://www.scripting.com. Here's the direct link to the article: http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$4124 Someone wrote a comparison of Zope and Frontier. Followed up by a technology demo of getting the two to talk via XML.

Python Anyone: Linuxworld Article
by Robert OConnor 17 Mar '99

17 Mar '99

Check out the article in Linuxworld: This is good for ZOPE newbees who wonder what and why about Python (The underlying language of ZOPE). http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/expo/lw-python.html Title: "Python, anyone? " You may have dismissed Python as just another scripting language beginning with 'P,' but more and more open source developers are finding Python has some bite Summary At first, the Python scripting language may sound like another version of Perl, but Robert Richardson highlights the differences that make it useful in its own right. (1,500 words) By Robert Richardson *--- Paul Everitt mentions Zope in the discussion forums related to this article. -bobo connor bob(a)rocnet.com

If someone on this conference would look at my mail from Monday, I would be grateful. The idea of having to put all my images into Zope by hand makes me very sick :-) -- Milos Prudek

Does fsdir parameter of fsimport specify the remote directory (where Zope is) or local directory (from where I look at Zope)? -- Milos Prudek

My own zope site...

I've started a site that will show the results of my work in getting Dreamweaver and Zope to talk to each other - and I would appreciate a link from the zope.org site if there is a section for 3rd party developer links... I will post here (at the web site) ideas for improving the UI for the HTML interface for Zope as well. http://alaji.home.mindspring.com/zopeweaver/ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andrew Wooldridge - Opinions expressed are my own - - andreww(a)netscape.com - http://people.netscape.com/andreww/ - ICQ: 6345881 - Find It at http://dmoz.org - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
