Expand macros in a file system based page template
by Hong Yuan 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

When editing a page template directly in ZMI, there is an "Expand macros when editing" option allowing me to see the page template source with all macros expanded. This feature is quite handy in tring to understand complex macros. However, if the page template is based on FSDV, this feature is no longer available. How can I under this circumstance see the expanded source code of page templates with macros? Best Regards -- HONG Yuan Homemaster Trading Co., Ltd. No. 601, Bldg. 41, 288 Shuangyang Rd.

problem using ssl from zope

Hi, In my product I try to connect to a remote https-server with the help of httplib HTTPSConnection. This fails in Zope with the error: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 101, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Products.AixtraConference.AixtraConference, line 538, in register Module Products.AixtraConference.AixtraConference, line 283, in worldPay Module Products.AixtraConference.Client, line 241, in __call__ Module httplib, line 1032, in connect Module httplib, line 987, in connect Module socket, line 75, in ssl TypeError: ssl() argument 1 must be _socket.socket, not _socketobject if I run: python httplib.py which tests the also the httpsconnection this works fine. I tracked it down to the the following: Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jul 28 2004, 09:39:34) [GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import socket >>> sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) >>> print sock._sock <socket object, fd=3, family=2, type=1, protocol=0> the same in my zope-product results in: 236 import socket 237 sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) 238 import pdb 239 pdb.set_trace() 240 print sock._sock <socket._socketobject object at 0xb652c8c4> Is zope using a different socket module ? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Joachim Schmitz ......................................................................

Blocking Sibling inheritance
by Jay Zeemer 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Greetings all, I am in the process of examining Zope for some possible applications. Currently I am having an issue with Zope being a bit to smart. I have a directory \Dir1\ and under it I have 2 subdirectories \Dir1\SubA\ and \Dir1\SubB\. The problem I am having is I can go to \Dir1\SubA\SubB\ and gain access to things that are in \Dir1\SubB\, I need to be able to block sibling level inheritance. Is this possible in Zope?? Or are there any other ways to block this with out creating a SubB object in \Dir1\SubA\ ?? Thanks for any and all help Jay

It's the second oldest protocol on the Internet and deserves to be retired. Answer from Sascha Ottolski <sascha.ottolski(a)gallileus.de> > in theory, a ssh-tunnel should do the trick. that said, I never made it work, > neither with active nor passive ftp :-( Excuse me if I correct this mistake: ftp does not let itself tunnel through ssh. You can tunnel the command channel, but the data channel(s) will continue to raise the same trouble with the ports. Grumpy old protocol does not like a straightjacket. Zope corporation seems to have made an sftp Gateway, haven't tryed it, but it should do what the original poster needs: <http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2003-December/006839.html> and: <http://cvs.zope.org/Packages/SFTPGateway/> > however, webdav over a ssh-tunnel works pretty well. Agreed & should be much more elegant. Regards, Sascha (another one)

Hanging Zope
by Chris Kratz 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

We have been having intermittent problems with zope hanging in both production and development. For what it's worth, it seems as if this problem started to occur since we upgraded to zope 2.7.3 (python 2.3.4) and Apelib 1.0. Previously, we were using a standard zope data.fs. We converted to Apelib for other reasons and now are starting to see these intermittent lockups. When it locks up, it is completely locked and has to be killed with a kill -9. Here is the pertinant output from ps -Aflwm. 0 - 501 2838 20340 0 - - - 88939 - 11:42 pts/5 00:00:06 ./python ../lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py -C ../etc/zope.conf 0 S 501 - - 0 76 0 - - futex_ 11:42 - 00:00:06 - 1 S 501 - - 0 76 0 - - futex_ 11:43 - 00:00:00 - Zope is not spinning, it's just locked in a futex. I have tried to do use the debugging a spinning zope howto. (http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/debugspinningzope) but that doesn't work. I am assuming it is because the python binary has been stripped. Are there any other tricks to find where or what is locking the threads? Even though I'm running in debug mode, killing does not produce a traceback. Is there any way to force threads to dump a traceback on exit? -Chris --- debugging a spinning zope attempt # cat Z2.pid 2838 # gdb ../bin/python (gdb) attach 2838 ...snip (gdb) info threads 26 Thread 1122839472 (LWP 2845) 0xffffe410 in ??

classmethod() and zope?
by Jürgen Herrmann 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

hi! i have the following method defined in an extension class: def reInitClass(cls): """ docstring """ cls().reInit() reInitClass = classmethod(reInitClass) as one can see this method should call the parameter named "cls" and this way make an instance of cls and then call reInit() on this instance... i'd like to call this method in the __init__.py file of my product: def initialize(registrar): registrar.ViewContainer( ViewContainer, constructors = (addViewContainerForm, addViewContainerMethod) ) ViewContainer.reInitClass() starting zope with these files in place yields the following error message: File "/home/apis/zope-bliss01/Products/ViewContainer/__init__.py", line 10, in initialize ViewContainer.reInitClass() TypeError: 'classmethod' object is not callable wtf??? if a classmethod object is not callable, what is it for then? a simple python example with classmethod() did work of course - so am i trying something impossible in zope? thanks in advance for your replies... regards, juergen herrmann

ZODB issues
by Craig Lewis 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hello, I have installed a new instance of zope 2.7.4. I have brought in a Data.fs file from another ISP. I don't know exactly what version this file is from, but I am fairly sure its some 2.x version. My question(s) is what to do next, I am new to zope, but I have tried a lot of things. The basic problem is that the btree structure of the interesting part of the site is broken (perhaps corrupt).I can start and run the server, and browse through the control panel, and perform various administrative tasks. The top level index_html file is just a redirect to the site1 folder structure, which is the one that is broken. I mention this, because this file works, but any contents below site1 are not visible. ===== this works -su-2.05b$ python utilities/ZODBTools/fstest.py var/Data.fs -su-2.05b$ python utilities/ZODBTools/fsrefs.py var/Data.fs as does -su-2.05b$ python utilities/ZODBTools/fsdump.py var/Data.fs | less ====== This doesn't -su-2.05b$ python utilities/ZODBTools/checkbtrees.py var/Data.fs <root> {'Application': <Application instance at 8346650>, 'ZGlobals': <OOBTree object at 0x8910ec8>} ['Application'] <Application instance at 8346650> ['ZGlobals'] <OOBTree object at 0x8910ec8> ['Application'].__error_log__ <SiteErrorLog at error_log> ['Application'].Sync <ZSyncer instance at 890c800> ['Application'].standard_error_message <DTMLMethod instance at 8b6e200> ['Application'].temp_folder MountedObject(id='temp_folder') ['Application'].vhm1 <VirtualHostMonster instance at 8b6ef50> ['Application'].__allow_groups__ <UserFolder instance at 8b6e7a0> ['Application'].session_data_manager <SessionDataManager instance at 8b7c410> ['Application'].browser_id_manager <BrowserIdManager instance at 8b7c350> ['Application'].standard_template.pt <ZopePageTemplate at standard_template.pt> ['Application'].Control_Panel <ApplicationManager instance at 8b86860> ['Application'].standard_html_footer <DTMLMethod instance at 8b868c0> ['Application'].index_html <DTMLMethod instance at 8b86920> ['Application'].site1 <Folder instance at 8b86950> Traceback (most recent call last): File "utilities/ZODBTools/checkbtrees.py", line 122, in ? main(fname) File "utilities/ZODBTools/checkbtrees.py", line 110, in main add_if_new_persistent(todo, v, newpath) File "utilities/ZODBTools/checkbtrees.py", line 28, in add_if_new_persistent getattr(obj, '_', None) # unghostify File "/www/htdocs/esginc.com/zope/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 600, in setstate self._set_ghost_state(obj, p) File "/www/htdocs/esginc.com/zope/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 639, in _set_ghost_state state = unpickler.load() File "/www/htdocs/esginc.com/zope/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 220, in _persistent_load return self[oid] File "/www/htdocs/esginc.com/zope/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py", line 182, in __getitem__ klass=self._db._classFactory(self, module, name) File "/www/htdocs/esginc.com/zope/lib/python/ZODB/DB.py", line 127, in _classFactory return getattr(__import__(location, _globals, _globals, _silly), ImportError: No module named *ED1fLY3QImx5D39mCNz0gw== =============================================================== nor does this, but I also get this error on a Data.fs that is not broken, so I don't understand what I am doing wrong ? -su-2.05b$ python lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py -P 1 -v 2 var/Data.fs Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py", line 374, in ? main() File "lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py", line 226, in main opts, (inp, outp) = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "fv:pP:") ValueError: unpack list of wrong size -su-2.05b$ ================================================================= I attempted to try and follow the instructions to fix a corrupted database, but I got errors that the root did not exist.... following http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1095965033 ============================================================== >>> from Zope.Startup.run import configure >>> configure('/www/htdocs/esginc.com/zope/etc/zope.conf') >>> from ZODB.POSException import POSKeyError >>> obj=root.unrestrictedTraverse('/site1') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
