RE: [Zope] Using Mozilla with Zope
I've tried starting one instance then starting another and switching profiles, but it doesn't work - when you 'Switch Profile' it switches the profile for every open browser window, leaving me back where I started. Unfortunately I'm on Windows so I don't have the flexibilty of X servers. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Hancock [mailto:hancock@anansispaceworks.com] Sent: Wednesday, 28 January 2004 12:32 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Using Mozilla with Zope On Tuesday 27 January 2004 06:06 pm, Tim Edwards wrote:
We are currently developing a Zope/Plone application which uses standard Zope authentication using an acl_users folder. To test this application I need to open a browser window onto it, loged-in as a user, however at the same time I also need to have another browser window open onto the ZMI logged in as a manager user so that I can edit the Scripts/ZPTs.
I use Debian Linux and KDE, so this may not be directly applicable to you, but . . . I have used Konqueror + Mozilla, Galeon + Mozilla, and Konqueror + Galeon to do this. I've also tried running Mozilla on two different accounts or two different computers. That is to say, working from a laptop, I start one Galeon or Mozilla locally on my laptop, and start one on my desktop via ssh -X from the laptop. I think you can also do this on one computer by using two different users, but I'm not sure how you get both to be able to use the X server (probably a lot like the ssh -X case, though). Then again, Mozilla has an "Identities" feature (sort of like usernames within the program). Can you not just launch Mozilla with Identity "A" and then another with Identity "B"? That seems like that ought to work.

The solution I use is to use a different host name. I manage http://www.mysite.com and test my user on http://mysite.com (if you have your domain records set up like that - otherwise use IP address) For local, use http://localhost and http://computer_name or http://ip_address

The best, if you can manage it, is to set up a bunch of adresses all pointing to your local computer. In fact, if you can have myputer1, myputer2, myputer3, myputer4 and myputer5 all pointing to 127.0.0.1, it's great. :-) That is good if you want to test virtual hosting as well.
