Hi Markus, First of all, before you do much work with Zope 2.5b3, please upgrade to Zope 2.5b4. There is a bug in the session code that will bite you when you go to upgrade. See http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.5.0b4/zope_250b4_release/workaround. It's best to get this over with. There's no real easy way right now to cause Zope to make a new transient data container somewhere else at startup.. You can use the existing transient data container object if you like. I don't believe that you need a temp folder in the site root. The temp_folder in the root can be used (as well as the transient data container that is automagically created in it) via acquisition. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Markus Keller" <m.keller@orcasoft.ch> To: <Zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 5:36 AM Subject: [Zope] Sessions with Zope 2.5.0b3 and SiteRoot ?

Hello List

I am new with ZOPE and I have installed Zope 2.5.0b3 and run some tests with sessions. Everything works fine so far. Now I want to create a SiteRoot and that means (please tell me if I am wrong) that I need an own tmp_folder with a Transient Object Container in the SiteRoot directory. I have created a tmp_folder and added a Transient Object Container with the ID session_data. A Session Data Manager and a Browser ID Manager are also in the SiteRoot directory.

Every time when I restart ZOPE the Transient Object Container gets lost. If I read the help I see, thats this is normal because all Objects in a tmp_folder will be deleted when restarting ZOPE. But the original tmp_folder in the RootFolder of ZOPE always has a Transient Object Container called session_data after starting ZOPE. I guess, that this Transient Object Container is created during startup. Is there any help or a howto on how I can create my own Transient Object Container during startup.

Thanks in Advance

Markus
