[Zope] ZCGI errors Please help

10 Sep 2002

      Hello,
I   have configured my zope site according to this doc:
http://www.zope.org/Members/Mamey/PHP

Which is a doc on how to run cgi¹s within the zope site to maintain
consistency across my site.
³Serve PHP/Perl within Zope²

I have the scripts running called ³DirectToCGIContent² and ³ServeCGIContent²
similar to what the scripts recommend (my cgi¹s are perl).  I have installed
a siteroot at the local directory ( user home dir) because I am only running
Zope on port 80 and apache running on port 8080.  My ultimate goal is to be
able to run perl/cgi scripts inside zope with one look and feel across the
site no matter if I am running cgi¹s or zope.

I am running the latest ver of Plone , CMF  1.3

If it matters I am running zope on Solaris 9.
Here are my scripts:

DirectToCGIContent script:

from string import join
def DirectToCGIContent ( self ):
        if self.REQUEST.path:
# Build up a list of what is contained in self.REQUEST.path since
# you are going to redirect the user to /CGIContent/index_html. Start
# by adding the way you can access the CGI tree outside of Zope
                originalRequestPath = ['http://24.x.x.x:8080/cgi-bin/']
# is the user asking for a cgi script?
        if self.REQUEST.path[0][-5:] == '.cgi':

# pop paths of REQUEST.path until its empty
                while self.REQUEST.path:
# Remember the path components before you pop them
                        originalRequestPath.append( self.REQUEST.path[-1] )
                        self.REQUEST.path.pop()
# Is there a query string being passed to the script also?
                if self.REQUEST.environ['QUERY_STRING']:
                        originalRequestPath[ -1 ] = originalRequestPath[ -1
] + '?' \
                        + self.REQUEST.environ['QUERY_STRING']
# Create a full url to pass to index_html
                cgiScript = join( originalRequestPath, '/' )
# self.REQUEST.path is now empty so the user is going to be
# directed to /CGIContent/index_html. That method needs to
# know what the original request is, so pass it a REQUEST
# variable

                self.REQUEST.set('cgiScript', cgiScript)
# you also may want to redirect image requests to the CGI tree

        elif self.REQUEST.path[0][-3:] in ['gif', 'png']:
                  while self.REQUEST.path:
                        originalRequestPath.append(self.REQUEST.path[-1])
                        self.REQUEST.path.pop()
# This is an image, so give it to a DTMLMethod that will
# just serve up images
                        self.REQUEST.path.append('ServeImageInCGITree')
                        self.REQUEST.set('imagePath',
join(originalRequestPath, '/'))

ServeCGIContent script:

def ServeCGIContent(url="http://24.x.x.x:8080/cgi-bin/" , username=None ,
Passwor
d=None):
        return Client.call (url,username,password)[1]
