[Webware-discuss] catching up to webware v1
I have been busy on other projects, and webware simply caused me no trouble so I haven't posted in a long while. Recently, a catastrophic hard drive crash forced me to rebuild a system and part of that was to re-install webware for an xml-rpc app built some years ago. I used 0.9 because that was what used before. However, I would like to catch up to the current version. Christoph et al have done such a great job of improving the product. I have poked through the release notes but still have the urge to ask this question: Are there any gotchas in moving from such an old version to the current release?

[Webware-discuss] Fun with forms
I am, at long last, playing around with using Webware for html pages that are information submission forms. I would like to create a dozen or so information request forms that are validated before being accepted. I can see that KidKit is loaded but I don't see how to invoke its examples. I tried adding line in Application.config... Contexts['KidKit'] = WebwarePath + '/KidKit' That displayed a link in the main page. Clicking the link gave a 404 error. Is there a BDU example of this somewhere? Along the same lines, I was playing with Ian Bicking's FunFormKit. I read through the pages about FunFormKit and didn't find a comment as to where to place the files, so I placed the FunFormKit directory in a working directory using MakeAppWorkDir.py. It is at the same level as Main.py. I added this line to Application.config: Contexts['FunFormKit'] = 'FunFormKit/Examples' I am getting an error, here is the tail end of the trace back: File /opt/Webware-0.9.4/WebKit/AppServer.py, line 264, in plugIn [edit] raise KeyError, name KeyError: 'FunFormKit' Examples has __init__.py but it is empty. So, a couple of questions... - Is there a BDU example showing how to set up FunFormKit, KidKit, etc. ? - Is there a current favorite for a baker's dozen of validated forms?

My first note didn't explain my siutation well. Here is another go at it... I am planning to install the current Webware on a box running SME 7.2. SME Server 7 uses many packages from CentOS and RPMForge. As you may know, CentOS 4 is built from publicly available open source Red Hat Enterprise Linux SRPMS. The standard SME 7 distro installs Apache 2.0. FWIW, the SME development team plans to support apache 2.2 in a future release but I would like to get Webware going with the current release. I have thought about upgrading the apache install on my SME server but I am hesitant to move too far ahead of the dev team. The WebKit discussion mentions apache 1.3. and apache 2.2. The WebKit for apache 1.3 version won't work with apache 2.0. Will the WebKit for apache 2.2 work with apache 2.0? That is, is it dependent on 2.2 features or is the reference to 2.2 the highest version it was tested with? TIA, - Mark Phillips - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Webware-discuss] restated question about mod_webkit and apache 2.0
Quoting Gary Perez [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I cannot address whether or not the latest version of Webware is dependent on any Apache 2.2-specific features, but--having used many different versions of Webware on a variety of different platforms and OSes--my guess is that its dependencies would be limited to the mod_webkit2 module. Thanks for the link to the setup on Centos 5, Gary. Your instructions are very clear and will be very helpful. I agree that the dependencies, if any, would be in the mod_webkit2 module.

Parts of my file upload modules were using os.chdir() to switch to a

ultimately be copied.
So instead of:
os.chdir(PARENT_DIR)
os.mkdir(NEW_DIR)
... I replaced it with:
os.mkdir(os.path.join(PARENT_DIR, NEW_DIR))
To actually write a file inside the new directory, instead of:
os.chdir(NEW_DIR )
file = open('index', 'wb')
... I replaced it with:
file = open(os.path.join(PARENT_DIR, NEW_DIR, filename), 'wb')

Maybe I will add something similar to the standard Webware tests. I would be happy to share them, Christoph. Here is the problem: the python scripts I wrote to test the methods I wrote on top of Webware work fine. No errors. It is only during the server-client dialog that the error is raised. So in this case, when I write about tests, I mean a script driving the client. the client is not written in python or some other open source code. This complicates passing it along due to the license of the vendor. Nevertheless, I will keep this in mind and if I can figure how to package it properly, I will contribute it. - Mark --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

The operating system and/or distribution should be completely irrelevant to the Python version. I can believe that some operating system scripts will screw up if you link python2 to python2.4.x, but that shouldn't affect Webware. I thought so too, and would like to be disabused of my present opinion. However, while banging around on the #python, #fedora and #fedora-legacy channels, the common opinion was that FC 2 didn't have everything python 2.4 needs. I was seeing error regarding sockets and so on. The folks on the fedora channels are a bit above my head regarding the os modules and it is difficult for me to ask them a coherent question. So, I can't really tell you why they felt there was an issue. I just took them at their word and moved on to things I can control. I am back to dealing the original error message, the bad token in xmlrpclib.py, which has some promise of a solution.

[Webware-discuss] launch at boot on macos x
I am having trouble launching Webware at boot on MacOS X 10.3.9. A StartupItem is the Apple method to launch a program on MacOS X at boot or login. It is merely a shell script and a preference files in a specific location. I have installed Webware for Python on the osx server in the normal manner. I can start and stop it using cli as root or admin. The system responds correctly to the browser requests. I followed the instructions for creating a Startup Item at http://www.macdevcenter.com/lpt/a/4288 but Webware is unresponsive after reboot. I am pretty confident permissions are correct as I compared my files and the Webware files, to the OpenBase install. The OpenBase server fires up every time. For the record, it is root:wheel for all of them. The system log shows the console message. So the startupitem script is executing. I noticed the process is called AppServer when started from the cli but python when started from the reboot sequence. Any thoughts, suggestions or links would be warmly accepted.

There were significant additions to the release notes for WebKit and MiddleKit. I appreciate the effort. The other modules are, as you point out, a bit light on content. Perhaps some of the list members are aware of significant fixes or features that are worthy of inclusion in the release notes. If you know of something, please feel free to send me a few lines on the matter. I will search for them in the commits list and update the notes.

[Webware-discuss] Webware and MacOS X server
I have created a Startup Item for macos x server 10.3.9 that invokes a shell script that in turn invokes the AppServer script. The startup item is called but the script fails. The app works if invoked from the terminal. The sys log simply says the script failed. I assume this refers to the shell script for the Startup Item. The Startup Item script is just two shell command lines: cd to the appropriate directory, then ./AppServer to start Webware. The file itself has the same permissions as other files used in this fashion. I don't understand what is failing. Does anyone know where can I find more detail about the failure?

[Webware-discuss] OT: seeking accounting package code base
I will be spec'ing a new project in January. It involves a standard accounting much like QuickBooks and similar, in addition to a few requirements that disqualify QuickBooks and its ilk. It is a small project: a single client, up to about 10 users on average, 100 - 200 insertions per day, historical data is very important. Does anyone have or know of a accounting code base that could be licensed for a small project? Of course, I would be happy if it involves python and webware but that is not an exclusive requirement. I am focusing on packages that follow generally accepted accounting practices appropriate for the United States jurisdiction, and those that have the user interface well removed from the business rules.

A difficulty with volunteering to do a release is to know if I've made a mistake in the release process. Hence the need for tests.

Follow up on [Webware-discuss] Installing on MacOS X
Now that I am back in the office I wanted to post to the list my solution just in case another newbie like me read this thread. The problem, BTW, was found between the chair and keyboard... First, I want to say thank you to Gary and Clifford for the thoughtful replies. I checked the paths and assignments as you mention. Those were correct. The problem was user/group permissions. I had set up the system in the office and copied it from the desktop machine to a laptop. The problems began when I attempted to configure the laptop. In the original attempt I had run the install and MakeAppWorkDir as a normal user. This did not agree with owner of the Apache installation on MacOS X. I was a bit surprised that the user/group settings on the laptop were different than those on the desktop machine, but then again I have never paid attention to these matters before. The solution, and there may be others, was to re-install Webware using sudo so the ownership is in agreement with os settings. Then used chown and chmod to set the file permissions, and everything fell into place. So, some trudging up the learning curve for chown, chmod and sudo solved the problem.

Looking at the code in my /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebKit.cgi, I can tell it's the module generating the error. Did you create a WebKit runtime directory or are you running the AppServer straight out of the install directory? This will make a difference. If you didn't do the runtime directory part, I'd give that a shot, and make sure to replace the current WebKit.cgi file (the one generating your error) with the WebKit.cgi file that's created for you inside this runtime directory. It's preconfigured; I've never had to tweak WebKit.cgi to get it to work... when using the runtime directory. If you're already on the runtime dir. track... try re-copying the WebKit.cgi inside it to your Executables directory. You may have copied over the wrong .cgi file. Failing that... make sure the strings at the top of WebKit.cgi starting with: WebwareDir = AppWorkDir = ... point to the right places. It looks like it's basically trying to add those directories to the pythonpath, so make sure whatever system user you're running AppServer as has the proper permissions to open directories (+x) and at least read their contents.

Also a plain html page that describes how to contact the admin for help.

Selected directories are given write permissions for the user. Webware /usr/local/webware The Webware distribution In the Application.conf I need to define the name and path for the context. In Apache, I need to add the virtual domain data and use rewrite to append URLs to include the context path. With this done I can focus on the python code to implement the RPC methods. Is that it?

[Webware-discuss] Problem with launch.py
Warning: the Newbie continues...
With help from this list I have succeeded in testing Webware using
localhost. This weekend I attempted to move the project to a live
server to continue to testing and learning. The server is SME Server
6.0 (RedHat 7.3). I updated Python to 2.3.4. I copied Webware-0.8.1 to
my usr/local/ then ran install.py. I created a new directory for the
project and ran MakeAppWorkDir.py. All of these steps seem to complete
normally.
When I attempt to invoke AppServer, I get the following message:
Traceback (innermost last):
File Launch.py, line 34, in ?
main(sys.argv)
File Launch.py, line 13, in main
if arg.startswith('--webware-path='):
AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'startswith'
I can't seem to get a hit on the words in the message. Can anyone offer
a link, suggestion or hint as to what is amiss and/or what I have
overlooked?

I simply typed ./AppServer at the shell prompt. How do I invoke python2.3 when launching AppServer? FYI... There are three versions currently installed; v1.5, v2.2 and v2.3. I did not install v1.5 or v2.2. I did install v2.3 recently. I am concerned about dependencies on the prior installs that I may not understand. So is there a way in RedHat 7.3 to invoke the proper python with AppServer? Being a newbie can be so humbling. I was alerted to the fact that AppServer is shell script. One small change in the script solved the problem. Yeah!

Upon reading your note I had a serious talk with myself. As luck would have it, myself and I agreed you are correct. Seriously, as hard as it may be to believe, the tool set I am using for the client does not include a Base64 codec. Well, that is not entirely true; there is a plug-in component for US$1,000 that includes the function as part of a greater suite of things. This project just cannot afford to spend that kind of money right now. Moreover, I cannot control the end user and the extra component could be misplaced. Sooo... I wrote a codec myself. The encoder is OK but my version of the decoder is far too slow for more that a few hundred bytes. However, I did find a decently fast way to get the binary data from the server. So the download is taken care of for this phase. Next is how to set up the client to ask Webware to receive a file and store it on the server.

[Webware-discuss] Receiving xml-rpc messages via HTTP
Warning: newbie on the loose. I added a new message to XMLRPCExamples.py named testme that returns the string Howdy. def testme(self): result = 'howdy' return result I can invoke the new message from the Python shell by creating a server object from xmlrpclib per the examples. This all works together nicely and behaves as expected, as in... server.testme 'howdy' I have built my own xml-rpc client that is not written in python. This client works successfully with meerkat and a couple of others. When I tried to use it with Webware I get a 404 reply. The xml-rpc message and response follows my sig. Does this involve modifying WebKit.cgi or have I overlooked something?

[Webware-discuss] NotImplementedError (newbie)
Warning: I have just started with Python 2.3 for MacOS 10.3.4 and
Webware 0.8.1.
I have installed Webware and the started AppServer. The standard tests
work fine.
import xmlrpclib
server =
xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebKit.cgi/Examples/
XMLRPCExample')
server.multiply(10,20)
I added a new def of my own to XMLRPCExamples.py and added import
os.path to the top of the file.
def getmydoc(self, filepath):
if not os.path.exists(filepath):
# the file just ain't there
result = File not found
else:
result = The file is present
return result
Then I repeated the test procedure and included
server.getmydoc('a valid path')
This produced a fault:
xmlrpclib.Fault: Fault 1: 'Traceback (most recent call last):\n File
WebKit/XMLRPCServlet.py, line 44, in respondToPost\n File
WebKit/RPCServlet.py, line 15, in call\nNotImplementedError:
getmydoc\n'
I tried reloading the server cache and also stop/restart the appserver.
No joy.
I have tried a number of modifications of XMLRPCExample.py and none of
them are reflected in the test procedure. It is as if the file is not
being interpreted/compiled.
What have I overlooked?
