Hi. These will probably be simple ones, but I'd appreciate any help. My system is a Sun sparc server running Solaris7 and Python1.5.1. Installed Apache1.3.3 (first time for me) and ran the w_pcgi.py script, which seemed to work correctly. NEWBIE QUESTION I: Exactly where do you put the mod_rewrite config info? I tried putting it in the normal three .conf files and got errors. I DID compile the server with the mod_rewrite included. Decided to try out the system anyway, running the http://myservername:80/cgi-bin/Zope/manage command and got errors (Can't remember the exact one). I checked the pcgi.log file, and noticed that I was getting tracebacks indicating... "File "/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/lib/python/BoboPOS/SimpleDB.py", line 227, in open except: raise IOError, 'could not open ' + file_name ImportError: (<class exceptions.IOError at ab3d8>, 'could not open /export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/var/Data.bbb.trans')" So I changed the permissions on the Data.* files /var directory (yes the var directory had full permissions), and got the following traceback error... File "/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/lib/python/Products/sample/Product.py", line 24, in ? import OFS.SimpleItem, Persistence, Acquisition, AccessControl.Role ImportError: (<class exceptions.ImportError at ab540>, 'No module named Persistence') Went into the Product.py file and changed "Persistence" to "BoboPOS.Persistence", and tried to bring up zope in the browser again. I got the authentication window! But I couldn't authenticate, getting the error message concerning the authentication headers. Around that time, the email from Jeff Bauer came thru indicating that removing the pcgi.* files from the /var directory might be good, so I did that, and that's all I remember doing at that point. But the next time I tried to bring up Zope, I got the "!Temporarily Unavailable" message, with the message "(103) unable to verify if process is running" Drag... Guess I've gotta go and read those documents on Jeff's site about pcgi. Running the pcgifile.py from the /cgi-bin gives... Python 1.5.1 (#1, Oct 24 1998, 01:21:21) [GCC 2.8.1] Apache/1.3.3 (Unix) PCGI info file: /export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/Zope.cgi PCGI wrapper: /export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper error attempting: 'from cgi_module_publisher import publish_module' status: FAILURE /export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/Zope.cgi #!/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Main PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/lib/python/Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=/usr/local/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/export/home/pulintz/Zope-1.9b1-src So this is apparently an import problem, but I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it... I'll be reading thru more of Jeff's documentation, but any advice in the meantime would be appreciated (besides "You're not worthy-- go back to Perl") --P _________________________________________________________________________ Peter Ulintz Systems Research Programmer Andrews Lab -- Biochemistry University of Michigan pulintz@umich.edu 734.936.1137
