Hmm, Had an odd problem with scripts the other day. It was not writing to the session correctly, despite using the RESUEST.SESSION.set('blah') thing. I restarted the server...and it worked. Now I have the problem I have detailed in my message with the subject "[Zope] Script writing to session: bizarre result or just a mistake?"(posted earlier today). I am pretty sure I have not made a mistake. What could go wrong? It is a bloody simple script. It does not work. I a beggining to think I have a bad install, and need to re-install (this begins to seem more likely than the next options).

Here's a couple of horror stories of mine. I'd love to hear yours. What inspired this post was something that happened tonight. I was playing around with a very simple script when I kept running into errors: Can't convert an integer into a string; Can't convert a string into an integer; etc. I *knew* there wasn't a problem with my script. After a futile hour of trying to track down the *problem*, I decided to copy a perfectly good and currently functioning script, giving it a different name and passing the variables like I do to its parent. Sure enough, I ran into the same errors! Why?! My worst nightmare happened a couple of weeks ago. I decided to rebuild my file structure into something more portable. I had placed a number of scripts and old DTML methods in the root. I decided to copy them all into a folder, add the folder to each of my sites, and put the new folder into each site's path. Simple, right? What could possibly go wrong? Well, I forget the exact errors Zope threw at me, but it was all utter nonsense. I finally decided I'd just restart the sucker. I mean, why not? Bad, bad idea. I couldn't restart it. Worse yet, I ended up having to reinstall Zope. When I went to open my old Data.fs file, the goblins had secretly returned it to the exact state it was in at my last backup...two weeks before! How???? How could it have possibly known?! Also, if you happen to know a good exorsict, please let me know <g> beno _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ********************************DISCLAIMER**************************** The information contained in the above e-mail message or messages (which includes any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
