MORE FROM THE NOVICE: LAST Message: _____ Sorry for the novice question but I cannot get the management screens to come up after I have installed ZOPE. Here is what I did. HW - ZOPE on winnt 1. Install Zope 2. Choose to install it with the included webserver. 3. Attempted to start Service on NT. CRASH (I know, NT!) 4. If I run the serve batch file, and start the Server it seems ok. I can view information on my local IP at port :8080 but as soon as I attempt to look at the management screens, BAM Nothing. 5. Any guidance out there or similar encounters? Thanks in advance. _____ CURRENT I am picking up events in the event logs as follows: I definitly think it is a configuration issue here are the events(4 critical occur): a.The Open Procedure for service "ISAPISearch" in DLL "QPerf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0. b.The Open Procedure for service "ContentIndex" in DLL "QPerf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0. c.The Open Procedure for service "ContentFilter" in DLL "QPerf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0. d.The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( ted ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): PyImport_ImportModule: ZPublisher.Publish The system cannot find the file specified. (null). I named my installation (ted) and I have never seen anything to make me think I need to logon??? I cannot get to the management screens --- AHAHAHHAHAHHA!!! Any Advice??? Theodore E.

- FYI: Infoworld article
by Paul Everitt 12 Dec '98

[must put down baby...one-handed typing is too hard...] Whew, much better. For you weekend Zopers, here's a bit of news: http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?981211.whpython.htm The reporter called me on Thursday to chat. Wasn't clear what kind of article he was writing though. Interestingly about ten minutes after I talked to the reporter (Jeff Walsh) I got a call from Dave Winer who had just talked to him. Anyway, Jeff said the article might be in the print edition on Monday. If the binary distributions appear to be pretty stable, then Amos and I will start talking more about Zope next week. Also, I know there is interest in a roadmap that shows what is going to happen when, especially SQL integration. If I can ever get this silly Q&A done, I'll get one online. Sorry! --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909

I finally updated my Q&A at: www.zope.org/Information/QA It is authored completely in Structured Text with some DTML scripting to assemble the pieces. For those that care, I've attached an External Method which will upload the contents of a directory into a Folder. It fails if the documents already exist (I couldn't figure out how to test for the existance of an object in a folder, has_key failed :^( ) --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909 -------------------------------------- loadfiles.py -------------------------------------- import os def importfiles(self): """Load files from disk into a Folder If you use an editor to manage a bunch of files on disk and you want to keep them current in a Zope Folder, loading them one by one is a pain. It would be nice to have a facility to easily load files on the same machine as the Zope site into Zope. Since External Methods have access to the filesystem, they are a natural fit. Just make sure you pass in 'self' as an argument, allowing the function to invoke Folder methods to add documents. """ directory = 'c:/temp/OSS/QandA' response = 'Starting External Method...' for filename in os.listdir(directory): # Skip things ending in '~' from Emacs if filename[-1] == '~': continue contents = open(os.path.join(directory,filename)).read() try: # See if the document exists, if so, grab it and update it. document = self[filename] document.manage_edit(contents,filename) response = response + '\nAdded %s.' % filename except KeyError: # Document doesn't exist so add it self.manage_addDocument(filename,'',contents) response = response + '\nUpdated %s.' % filename return response if __name__ == '__main__': importfiles()

- Win32 (Win95) feedback and plea for help
by Brad Marsh 12 Dec '98

12 Dec '98

Hi, The Win95 install worked flawlessly. One point: I assiduously went to the Python web site, downloaded 1.5.1 and the Win32 extensions, installed them, installed Zope, then read the readme file (since it's inside the install .exe file). The readme says that it includes a compiled version of Python. Coulda saved me a bunch of downloading time to say that on the Zope download page... Zope runs with the integrated server just fine; I read all the quickstart docs, then tried the management screen link (http://localhost:8080/manage) Error: The server returned an unrecognized response. Now what? Thanks for any help, Brad Marsh, Computer Specialist Center for Evaluation and Research, LLC http://www.tchp.org/cer/

- 1.9b2 win32 feedback
by David Ascher 12 Dec '98

12 Dec '98

The installer ran flawlessly on NT4 Sp3 I chose to integrate Zope as a service w/ my Apache config. The doc/INSTALL.txt needs to be changed-- start.bat does not exist, but serve.bat does -- furthermore, serve.bat is not the right way to starrt Zope as a service -- instead, one needs to go to Control Panels/Services/ and select the name of the Zope install and click 'start'. Running under Apache 1.3.0, /QuickStart and /manage don't work, but I'm not surprised -- Jeff Bauer has told me that 1.3.0 is broken in authentication. A note pointing out that the authentication of Apache 1.3.0 is broken w.r.t. Zope might save a bunch of complaints. [I then installed Apache 1.3.3, reinstalled Zope over *that* server, and I still can't get past either QuickStart or manage -- 404 in the former, authentication fails in the latter. Hmm. I suspect the problem is that 1.3.3 didn't really get installed. Anyone know how to *remove* a service from NT4?] Reinstalling Zope and running w/ builtin server works fine. --david

- Zope dies under mysterious circumstances
by Andy Dustman 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

Thus far, I haven't been able to make Zope die, but it does die. I am actually running it now using the supervise program which comes with qmail's daemontools package (I get log rotation this way, as well). I know it died because I checked the contol panel. Going back into the log at about the time it happened, there are no obvious error messages or tracebacks, but I do see this: Publishing module Main Serving HTTP on port 8080 ... No core dumps that I can find. Python-1.5.1 (based on the Oli Andrich SRPMS, so the official patches are there), RedHat 5.1. Oh, btw, and I just realized I wasn't doing this either: When starting the server (serve.sh), python should be invoked with -u for unbuffered stdout and stderr I/O, unless this is being set somewhere within Zope (not sure how you would do this, though). I have my own xHTTPServer-based app, and logging works a lot better this way, particularly if you are writing to a pipe (which I am). My actual startup is: cd $ZOPEHOME env - PATH=$PATH \ supervise $ZOPEHOME/var/run /usr/bin/python -u serve.py 2>&1 \ | cyclog $ZOPEHOME/var/log & (supervise and cyclog are both in qmail's daemontools package. www.qmail.org) -- Andy Dustman You should always say "spam" and "eggs" ComStar Communications Corp. instead of "foo" and "bar" (706) 549-7689 | PGP KeyID=0xC72F3F1D in Python examples.

Chris, I think it should be a long-term goal that SSL find it's way into Zope (and Python in general) to build scaleable applications. Perhaps we haven't seen much yet, but it may soon be necessary for servers to act as clients to talk to other servers across secure channels. Apache is great for the server side of the equation, but Zope needs a client SSL solution, too. IMO. Best regards, Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc.
