- Zope 1.9 NT/IIS 4.0 Problems
by Stefan Franke 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

I've just installed Zope 1.9 on my NT 4.0 SP3 box and I can't get it running with IIS 4.0 (using serve.py with ZopeHTTPpublisher it works fine). When I try to access the management screen (or any other screen) via http://my-domain/cgi-koeln/koelnzope.exe/manage (this is the valid path - 'koelnzope' is the installation name) I get the "Sorry, an error occurred" message with the traceback  The 'koelnzope' system service is running, and the directory settings for the cgi-koeln directory are ok AFAI can say. Any ideas?

- Virtual Hosts
by Jonathan Bradshaw 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

Does Zope support virtual hosts? If so, which way works best? I tried faking the root via the CGI call (via Zope.cgi/MYHOST/$1) which would work except Zope insists on putting a "base href" header in the output file (for what reason I cannot say) and this tends to hose it up.

RE: [Zope] - Zope/ODBC and MS Sql Server 6.5 connection
by Paul Everitt 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

Instead of picking the ODBC connection from the select list, type in a connection string in the box below it. Connection string sytax is pretty baroque. Check out Table 1, "Connection String Formats" in the Aqueduct Manager's Guide. --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Vincent Joseph [mailto:vincent.joseph@usa.net] > Sent: Thursday, December 24, 1998 8:15 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] - Zope/ODBC and MS Sql Server 6.5 connection > > > Hi, > > Has anyone managed to connect to MS SQL Server 6.5 using Zope ODBC? > The ODBC Data Source Administrator does not have a place where > you can specify a user/id and password.

- Convert database date to Zope date
by Michael Grinder 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

How does one convert a database date value to a Zope date value. I'm trying to use a date value retrieved from a query of a MySQL database in the var command with the date formatting options. If I just use the raw value from the query, I get an error. Is there a way to convert this to a Zope date data type? There may be multiple variations of this message posted to the list. It looks like the post form at egroups.com isn't working correctly. Sorry if there is any duplication. Michael Grinder

- Oracle Database Adapters?
by Jeff Crilly 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

Are there any adapters for oracle8? I read that the DCOracle adapter is going open source, but this hasnt been reflected on the digicool site yet. If I wanted to hook zope to oracle8, how would I go about doing it? Or should I wait a bit? thanks jeff

- Building Zope source dist on Win32
by Robin Dunn 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

I have significantly hacked up David Ascher's compile.py script to be able to generate nmake compatible makefiles from Setup or Setup.in files. So why am I telling all the Zopsters about it? Well becuase I have also modified the build scripts in the Zope 1.9.0 source distribution to use this compile.py script giving the ability to build everything for Win32 with just the w_pcgi.py or wo_pcgi.py scripts just like on unix. The compile.py and modified Zope files are attached. Just unzip in the top Zope source directory and you're set to run w_pcgi.py. This assumes that python 1.5.1 is installed, VC50 or VC60 is installed, python.exe, nmake.exe, cl.exe, and link.exe are accessible on the PATH, and that appropriate environment variables are set for the tools. -- Robin Dunn robin(a)AllDunn.com http://AllDunn.com/robin/ Try http://AllDunn.com/laughworks/ for a good laugh.

- PCGI with Xitami
by Robin Dunn 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

One little gotcha about using PCGI with the Xitami webserver (http://www.imatix.com) that should probably be added to the WEBSERVERS.TXT document is that the "Full Environment" checkbox needs to be turned on. Once I figured this out then I was able to run Zope and etc. via pcgi on my NT box. I'm using version 2.4c1 of Xitami. -- Robin Dunn robin(a)AllDunn.com http://AllDunn.com/robin/ Try http://AllDunn.com/laughworks/ for a good laugh.

- ANNOUNCE: ZPublisher component release
by Amos Latteier 07 Jan '99

07 Jan '99

A long time ago we said that we'd offer Zope components separately, now we're finally getting around to fulfilling this promise. http://www.zope.org/Download/Components Right now we have ZPublisher available, and I'll probably get ZTemplates up there pretty soon. The reason for these component releases is to make life easier on people who are interested in some Zope components but don't want to bother to download the entire Zope release. The ZPublisher component includes everything you need to publish Python objects on the web including: ZPublisher -- This package includes the Zope ORB, Zope Debugger, and Zope RPC client. This package allows you to publish objects with Zope. PCGI -- This optional component provides publishing services and long running process support to the Zope ORB that work with any web server that supports CGI. ZopeHTTPServer -- This optional package is a simple web server which can publish a module with Zope. CGI -- This optional component includes a simple Zope CGI publisher which allows you to publish objects using a CGI script. The only thing new is the CGI publisher which is the long awaited cgi-module-publisher replacement. It's pretty simple and it doesn't use symbolic links. I'm calling this release 3.0.0b1 because I am taking up numbering where Bobo releases left off. Enjoy. -Amos P.S. A long time ago some people including Jeff Bauer and myself talked about writing some kind of Zope publisher installer that might allow guided setup of module publishing. I have some code for such a beast if anyone is still interested in this project. -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

- FYI: Some more software thrown over the fence
by Paul Everitt 07 Jan '99

Alright, the first announcement of 1999. DCOracle is going open source. DCOracle is our Python extension module for Oracle: http://www.digicool.com/site/DCOracle We are WAY behind on getting more database adapters out, but fortunately we are making progress on getting more resources here at Digital Creations. Look for DCOracle to be on the web site pretty soon. Look for more announcements this month... --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909

- Documentproperties - XML/RDF
by Wiebe Kunst 07 Jan '99

07 Jan '99

I am designing a knowledgemanagement system and right now Zope seems to be the best choice. But... I really need a property page for documents, implemented according to the RDF specification (www.w3.org/TR/WD-rdf-syntax/) and the Dublin Core schema (www.w3.org/TR/WD-rdf-schema/) Somewhere I read that a next version of Zope would include a property page for documents and I wonder if this can/will be done according to the RDF-specification in Python. Also if anybody knows about some efforts in writing Pyton code for handling RDF I really would appreciate some feedback. Wiebe Kunst
