- installing 1.9b3 with pre-configured Apache for Linux

Reply-To: vanandel(a)ucar.edu Cc: Fcc: -------- A minor correction to the preconfigured Apache/README. 6) Logged on as *yourself*, using the same UID that you used to install Zope, start Apache: [paul] % ./start (otherwise Apache starts, but can't start Zope). I'm impressed with how quickly I could install the Linux binary version!

If you did a poll on this list and asked how many people have done production sites with Medusa, you might be surprised at the answer.

- keys() and items() for Request objects... and maybe a bug w/ PATH_INFO
by skip＠calendar.com 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

I offer the following implementations of keys() and items() for Z Publisher Request objects: def keys(self): keys = {} for key in self.environ.keys(): if isCGI_NAME(key) or key[:5] == 'HTTP_': keys[key] = 1 keys.update(self.other) lasturl = "" for n in "0123456789": key = "URL%s"%n try: if lasturl != self[key]: keys[key] = 1 lasturl = self[key] else: break except KeyError: pass for n in "0123456789": key = "BASE%s"%n try: if lasturl != self[key]: keys[key] = 1 lasturl = self[key] else: break except KeyError: pass return keys.keys() def items(self): result = [] for k in self.keys(): result.append((k, self[k])) return result They probably aren't useful in general settings, but are useful for people like myself who aren't familiar with what's in a Request and want to explore a bit. Also, when using this, I discovered what may be a bug. It's at least a feature. I am using ZopeHTTPServer. When I examine the REQUEST argument of a URL, among other things I find PATH_INFO: '/check_request' PATH_TRANSLATED: '/home/dolphin/skip/src/Zope-1.9.0b3-src/check_request' SCRIPT_NAME: '/' URL: 'http://127.0.0.2:8043/check_request' I suppose in a Z Publisher context the distinction between elements of PATH_INFO and elements of SCRIPT_NAME is fuzzy, but it seems somehow more intuitive to me that I should see PATH_INFO: '' PATH_TRANSLATED: '/home/dolphin/skip/src/Zope-1.9.0b3-src' SCRIPT_NAME: '/check_request' URL: 'http://127.0.0.2:8043/check_request' instead. In a CGI context you always have a non-empty SCRIPT_NAME. You might or might not have a non-empty PATH_INFO. Given that SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO are holdovers from CGI, I think it makes sense to pile everything into SCRIPT_NAME and leave PATH_INFO empty.

- Ack! I screwed up slightly...
by skip＠calendar.com 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

In the message I just sent out I complained about SCRIPT_NAME being /. Well, it turns out I was starting ZopeHTTPServer with SCRIPT_NAME=/. In reality, if I run ZopeHTTPServer with no SCRIPT_NAME argument I get PATH_INFO: '/check_request' PATH_TRANSLATED: '/home/dolphin/skip/src/Zope-1.9.0b3-src/check_request' SCRIPT_NAME: '' which is still arguably wrong in my opinion, just different than I originally reported.

RE: [Zope] - PCGI with IIS 4.0

I'll let him provide the details, then I'll add them to the pcgi docs. ;-) I think one of the things he did was create a file association, .pcgi extensions to pcgi-wrapper.exe. The pcgifile.py sanity tester should work (works with Win32/Apache) and the pcgitime.py is a good starter example to get pcgi working on NT. Keep in mind that process creation is more expensive on NT vs. Unix. So although it should work for you, it may not sustain heavy loads. Don't tell us you're surprised <wink>.

- proxy/override...
by Magnus Lie Hetland 21 Dec '98

21 Dec '98

Is it possible to get results like with mod_rewrite/mod_proxy when I don't have access to the config files, and have to override stuff in .htaccess? In the mod_proxy docs it seems like this is not possible... I can always use only mod_rewrite to redirect stuff, but I would like to retain the original URL in the browser... -- Magnus Lie Hetland www.pvv.org/arcadia <arcadia(a)pvv.org>

- BoboPos probem
by Thomas Heller 21 Dec '98

21 Dec '98

I have an application mainly programmed within an external method. This method is called with the 'self' parameter, so has access to the folder it is defined in. I decided to attach custom data from within the external method to the self object. This data was a list containing lists containing integers. Everything worked well, but finally I discovered that 'cleaning up' Zope's database failed with an error. Trying to restart Zope failed miserably (traceback is attached). It seems this has not been a good idea. What did I do wrong? Regards Thomas Heller Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\Programme\WebSite\serve.py", line 101, in ?
