I just installed release 2.2.0a1 on a glibc Linux box, but I keep getting a permission problem when accessing a database query.
...
After beating on this over the last day or so trying to understand what was happening at the Web interface level (thinking that I must have just screwed up a permissions setting somewhere), I finally looked at the code and simply commented out line 602 in
/data/www/Zope/Zope-2.2.0a1-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py
# raise ValidationError, index
Ta da! It works...for now. This little patch will get me up and going. I trust that someone will fix whatever problem necessitated this in a future release and I won't need this awful kludge, but it sure is nice to be able to use it now.
Anyone know what the real fix is?
I don't _know_ yet, but I suspect :^) I think that something is running afoul of the new security checking inside the __call__ method of SQLMethod objects. If someone wants to use the Zope debugger (the debugger is your friend!) to sniff into this, that is where you should start. Under the debugger, set a breakpoint in the __call__ of the DA class in lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/DA.py. Stepping through should point out what object is failing authorization. If anyone is so inclined, Michel P. has a very good debugger how-to: http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/HowTos/TheDebuggerIsYourFriend ...and let me know what you find out. I won't be around Friday, but I was planning to put on the sherlock hat and work this out Monday - of course I hope someone beats me to it :^) Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
