I was using Zope just fine with my redhat install, but for a variety of reasons I needed to upgrade to Debian. Zope installed fine (can't wait to see new packages for the recently released upgrade ^_^) but I'm curious as to how one is supposed to use the netscape in debian to edit zope sites.
I am currently using Netscape 4.61, as that's the recommended default, but this is also true of 4.08, 4.61, and 4.7.
If I go to my RedHat box, sitting right next door, and use any of these versions of netscape, everything works fine.
The problem is: I go to my site. I click on a folder. I select 'add dtml method' from the menu. I type anything for the title and ID: then I hit 'add', or 'add and edit'.
The status bar changes to
"Connect: Host www.twistedmatrix.com:8080 contacted. Watiting for reply..."
but nothing happens after that.
This is not a general problem with HTTP POST, as it only happens when I access Zope (and only the 'add dtml method' and 'add dtml document' screens -- I can add users and edit documents just fine!)
Mozilla on the same machine works fine. When netscape fails, no line ever shows up in /var/lib/zope/var/Z2.log, so I assume it's never sending any query.
The client is helix.twistedmatrix.com, the server is www.twistedmatrix.com.
Lynx also doesn't work, but I won't get into that =)
Sorry, this doesn't really help as such, however I am using Netscape (4.61) on a debian (potato) box to access zope (v 2.0.1) on another Debian box. It seems to work fine (also works using lynx, which is _really_ handy and M12 Mozilla). I would have suggested possible firewall/routing troubles on that port, however that doesn't make sense if Mozilla seems to work. All I could possibly suggest is start having a play with the Zope source code (I'm not sure exactly where, BaseRequest.py possibly). Cheers, Benno
