ZopeHTTPserver

Hello folks, Correct me if I'm wrong, but ZopeHTTPServer is Medusa, correct? Does Medusa/ZopeHTTPServer support SSL? Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tom Jenkins DevIS (http://www.devis.com) I suggested holding a "Python Object Oriented Programming Seminar", but the acronym was unpopular.

tree doesn't work 4me linux amd win32

Andy wrote> Subject: [Zope] tree doesn't work 4me linux amd win32 I'm a zope newbie. I just installed on a windows 95 box and on a linux 2.0.something but I can't get anything with tree working (other stuff seems ok). Hadars' second sample app doesn't work for me (the tree part produces no output). Even the minimal   doesn't produce output (tried this with the second Habar example after creating the "sub-folders"). I get the same behaviour on windows as linux. I must be doing something wrong. Clues please ? I had the same problem, but only with Zope 1.10.2. I noticed that DTML documents (the default to be created) won't work with the tree tag. If you create a DTML Method (like the old DTML from Zope 1.9) then they work as expected. I don't have a clue as to why this works like this. Maybe its the proerties of the DTML Documents that are acting folderish and tree doesn't know what to do?

Q: Setting/Creating variables
by James A. Hillyerd 10 Mar '99

10 Mar '99

I have been playing around with Zope/ZPublisher/DocumentTemplate and have been extremely pleased with the ease of development, as well as the power of the Python language. Sometimes I have found myself wanting to save the results of an expression in my DTML code, for use later in the same page (or even an embedded DTML object). The only thing I have used that is similar to DTML is ColdFusion, which has a CFSET tag, ie: <cfset myvar = "test"> or <cfset total = subtotal * tax> In reading the docs, it looked like I might be able to do something along the lines of  but this didn't seem to work, and it's not very elegant either. Am I missing something? None of the howtos or tutorials seem to cover this. A  /  would be really spiffy. =) Please make sure you CC me if you respond to this message, as I had to unsubscribe due to the overwhelming amount of traffic. Thanks! -james [] James A.

NT Server Question
by Luke Duff 09 Mar '99

09 Mar '99

I've gotten Zope up and running on my IIS/NT server. Right now I can access it through www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/zope.exe. Is there any tricky way to get it to run as www.myserver.com/zope? including www.myserver.com/zope/folder/object? Can you do that with Apache on NT? I would use ZServer but I need to also be able to run Perl CGI scripts.

Root Folders and Names {Manager's Guide Update}
by Robert OConnor 09 Mar '99

09 Mar '99

* How do I "name" the *blank* root folder? This is the same folder that is named "Plutonia" in the Zope manager's guide. Maybe the root folder has no name so that if I go to http://www.bob.com/ the "Folder at / " will present index_html to requesting browsers. If I did name it "plutonia" would it be accessible both as http://www.bob.com/ and as http://www.bob.com/plutonia ? So maybe I don't need to "name" this root folder. If so, then the Zope manager's guide needs to be clearer. In the fourth paragraph on page 12 it says: "...presuming that your ZOPE is installed at http://your.place.com/Objects and it's management screen is at http://your.place.com/Objects/manage" This does not follow through the document. There is no folder named "Objects" Maybe the document should say: http://plutonia.com/ and it's management screen is at http://plutonia.com/manage" And to manage one of the three departments used in the examples, say for example "News" then: http://plutonia.com/news/manage" Other notes on this issue: Timothy J. Grant asked: "...My problem is that my Root folder in Zope has no name, and it appears that FSIMPORT requires a folder name for it to work." No response was found to this post on the ZOPE list. -bobo connor

Apache Authorization
by Milos Prudek 09 Mar '99

09 Mar '99

I have a problem with authorization under Apache 1.3.3 I can go to introductory screen but I can't get to ./manage screen. I get Athorization failed, and when I pres cancel I get the traceback below. I have put the lines (with modification reflecting my placement of Zope.cgi) from doc/WEBSERVER.txt at the top of my srm.conf file. I wasn't sure where to put it, since according to Apache documentation the directive is not inherited. Later I copied those lines to Virtual WWW section of www.sol.cz but to no avail. What does the line "Zope configuration maps /Zope/ to the Zope.cgi cgi script" mean? I thought that all I need to do is put Zope.cgi in my cgi-bin, put the above lines into srm.conf, and restart Apache... You can try it on http://www.sol.cz/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi. name is superuser, password is 123 # This is the traceback: You are not authorized to access this resource. No Authorization header found. Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 531, in publish (Info: /manage) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 297, in unauthorized Unauthorized: (see above) -- Milos Prudek

Zope for CD Index?
by Jose.Lacal＠icn.siemens.com 09 Mar '99

09 Mar '99

Folks: http://www.freeamp.org/cdindex I don't know if anybody in the community would like to approach these folks and show them how Zope can make their project so much easier to manage / control. "The CD Index project (this is a temporary name -- we should find a better name soon) is designed to replace the badly designed and even worse administered CDDB project." Just a PR hint.

FAQ 0.2 - About this FAQ
by Martijn Faassen 09 Mar '99

09 Mar '99

Zope FAQ 0.2 - About this FAQ and the Zope Documention Project * What is this FAQ? This FAQ is a project of the Zope Documentation Project, and aims to answer any (or at least lost) questions you might have about Zope and how to use it. * What is the Zope Documentation Project? The Zope Documentation Project (ZDP) is a community project of Zope users that aims to create documentation for Zope. The first goal of the ZDP is the creation and maintenance of an extensive Zope FAQ, later on other documentation will follow. We welcome everybody to contribute; for instance by sending in questions and answers for the FAQ. * Where is the rest of this FAQ? The Zope FAQ has been split into separate sections. If you are reading this on the ZDP mailing list, you should see the other documents posted as well. If you are reading this on zope(a)zope.org or zope-dev(a)zope.org, you will only see this message. The Zope FAQ is under development. It is probably already useful, but because I don't want to spam everybody you will have to look at the ZDP list to see the rest of the FAQ. Everyone is very welcome to join the ZDP list. You can also wait until the ZDP has its web infrastructure going and the FAQ is published on the web. This will hopefully be very soon; we're working on it. * How do I contribute? The Zope Documentation Project has its own mailing list (zdp(a)zope.org) You are encouraged to use this list for all ZDP related communications. Please do not send your messages (such as FAQ contributions) to Martijn Faassen (the current FAQ maintainer) if your message can be sent to the mailing list instead. * How do I join the ZDP mailing list? You can subscribe to the ZDP mailing list by using the page:: http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zdp Thanks in advance for your contributions! * Are there other Zope-related FAQs? Yes, there is the "Zope Questions and Answers" at:: http://www.zope.org/Information/QA/ This is maintained by Digital Creations; currently it is the best place to look if you are brand new to Zope. That said, Paul Everitt of Digital Creations has kindly contributed the Zope Questions and Answers to the ZDP (or vice versa; the ZDP is contributing to the Q&A). The ZDP plans to merge the two FAQs shortly. * What is Structured Text and what does it have to do with this FAQ? The FAQ is (currently) written in Structured Text, so you may very well reading the FAQ in Structured Text format (the double colons and the indented paragraph structure give it away). If you are just reading this FAQ you shouldn't worry about it. If you plan to contribute to the ZDP we'd prefer it if your contributions were written in Structured Text, however. For more information see the Structured Text section of this FAQ. * What are these FIXME comments I see scattered through the FAQ? If you are reading the ZDP mailing list or its archives, then it is the FAQ's editor (or possibly a contributor) who is not entirely sure about some details on Zope, and is asking people on the list to help figure it out. If you are reading this FAQ somewhere else, then oops, they don't belong there. Please send a message to the zdp(a)zope.org list telling us about it, and thanks! * What other sections does this FAQ have? We currently have sections on: o DTML o Zope Administration o Structured Text o External Methods o Builtin Products o Product Development
