RE: [Zope] version 2.2.4 just blew up!

2000-12-07 Thread michael angelo ruberto


Chris,



The Dr. Watson log won't help us at this stage.  Can you turn on debug
logging by inserting the following to the beginning of your Zope's start.bat
file:

set STUPID_FILE_LOG=var\debug.log

did it.

Then report back what comes up in the var\debug.log file when you click on
the link that crashes Zope, if anything.

nothing. debug.log is never created.

Python is dying?  That's a little rude even given your frustration, dontcha
think?

what the hell is so rude about that? my problem is caused by Python going
tits up each time i hit the link. a bit oversensitive dontcha
think?

 hi,

 i just performed the upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.2.4 and it blew up after
 running for a few minutes. it happened as i clicked the link to Debug
 Information from the control panel. Zope does start up again and the same
 thing occurs each time i click this link. i can send you the Dr. Watson
 error log if you think it will help you but i prefer not to send it to a

RE: [Zope] the day of zope headaches

2000-12-07 Thread michael angelo ruberto

thanks Kevin,

that seems to have did the trick. the deal on my server is that tmp,
/var/tmp, and /usr/tmp are all linked to one directory. this required me to
create /home/httpd/tmp and point tempfile.py to it because the disk for all
the other tmp stuff is quite full. time for bigger drives.

-mike-

ps: in the process of following your suggestion i found another problem and
fixed it, so thanks again!

 Sorry, a Zope error occurred.

 such a very helpful message. this happened while reindexing the ZCatalog

View the HTML source for the error page - the Python traceback contained
in there will be more helpful. However, the last time I had an IOError
while re-indexing a ZCatalog was when Python was ran out of space in the
/tmp dir (4600 objects, 100 MB /tmp partition). What I did was edit
Python's tempfile.py file (contained at /usr/lib/python1.5/tempfile.py
on Debian systems) from:

attempdirs = ['/usr/tmp', '/tmp', pwd]

RE: [Zope] mod_fastcgi

2000-12-05 Thread michael angelo ruberto

Ron,


 i was wondering what if any difference there is for zope if i
 install it to
 access mod_fastcgi through a port as opposed to a socket. which is the
 recommended/safest approach?

In theory (and maybe in practice) the socket should be faster since it does
not go through the networking process.  However, since it uses a local file,
Zope and Apache must be one the same system.  Using a TCP port would be
slower, but it allows you to run Zope and Apache on different machines.  As
to how much faster or slower, I have no idea if anyone has done any testing.

As for safest/recommended, avoiding the network is probably always safer
(although with the loopback, I'm not sure it makes any difference).  But if
you need to run them on different servers, you don't have a choice.

I've found mod_fastcgi very easy to configure in Apache and have had no
problems using it through a port.
___

thanks for the info! my co-worker just informed me that he thinks it is
faster to use the port when dealing with a firewall. since it seems easier
this way i guess i'll go with the port.

much appreciated!

[Zope] opinions please

2000-11-13 Thread michael angelo ruberto

hello,

i am searching for opinions on a project i am considering. the project is to
create a product or script to allow users to email documents into Zope as
attachments. then the documents are to be placed in the proper folder
according to information in the subject line of the email they rode in on.
what i would like to know is, is this possible? if it is, how hard will this
be to implement?

the other idea was to create a client app where users can drop the document
onto a desktop icon and the app uses webDAV to put it into Zope. would this
be easier or harder?

RE: [Zope] FW: [Zope] adding properties to all existing docs

2000-11-09 Thread michael angelo ruberto


However, I would not make such changes asynchronously.
I would use "ZopeFind" to locate all objects that need to
be updated and then do it.
Maybe, its a matter of personal taste ...


Dieter

this is an interesting idea. another thing i might try is running the script
from Xron and ZopeFinding the objects. in this way the task is completely
automated and will free me from having to run it whenever new objects are
added.

[Zope] FW: [Zope] adding properties to all existing docs

2000-11-08 Thread michael angelo ruberto



hi Dieter,

thanks for the advice. i have written a small DTML script which i plan to
call from the standard html header so that the intranet users will
unknowingly populate the docs as they browse. saves me from doing it
manually unless there are file objects in the folder. here is the script:

dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems(['File','DTML Document'])" sort=title
dtml-unless "_.string.find(_['id'],'index_html')==0"

dtml-comment
properties are added in the unless below.
to add additional properties to this script repeat the unless block
for each new property and change the id and type to what you
want to add.
/dtml-comment

dtml-unless "hasProperty('rev')"
dtml-call "manage_addProperty('rev','none','string')"
/dtml-unless


/dtml-unless
/dtml-in

to run the script give it manager role and call the method in the URL or
with a dtml-var tag. you can select the types of objects it "sees" in the
first line. please let me know if there is some flaw in doing it this way.

take care

-mike-

ps: i tried to make a python method for this but couldn't figure out how to
handle the objects properly.

It is possible to change the base class but I would not do it
(as it affects all Zope objects and your change is likely
to disappear when you upgrade).

You can automate Zope either internally or externally.

  Internally (via a method (DTML or Python)) you would
  use ZopeFind to list all objects that need to be
  updated and then iterate (dtml-in) over the objects
  to update.

  Externally, you would use "ZPublisher.ZClient".


I would go for the internal solution.

 why do some products install fine on their own and others require voodoo
 incantations and sacrificial goats?

Usually, products written completely in Python can be installed just by
untarring the file. Products built through the web (ZClasses) usually comes
as a .zexp file, which is essentially the pickled objects that make up the
ZClasses, DTML Methods, etc. These need to be imported from the Products
Control Panel. Is that the voodoo you're talking about?

The difference is basically whether the product is just distributed as files
that go in your file system, or as objects that need to live somewhere in
your ZODB.

 can somebody tell me what the
 permissions for products should look like?

I'm not sure that it really matters as long as your webserver process can
read the files.

Kevin

i've had situations where trying to import a .zexp does not work until the
file's permissions are set to nobody:nobody ?

Before you all start, I know, MS Access is pants and I should be using
a "real" database.  And I shall, once the "proof of concept" stage is
passed and I can migrate the existing data over to one.  But for now
I'm stuck with it.

Right, that over, here's my plea: I'm trying to create a connection
object to a MS Access 97 database.  I've installed the ODBC DA product
but I cannot get my connection to actually connect.  The error I get is,
"invalid connection string: project,"  (project is the DSN name).

According to the docs that come with the ODBC-DA, there's usually no
need for a connection string and accordingly I have left it blank; I
presume that the DA is defaulting to connecting using the DSN name as
its string.  The database has no security settings that might limit
access.

What's going wrong?  Help!

RE: [Zope] listmate + CSV problem

2000-05-18 Thread michael angelo ruberto

hi, Heiko

it works! i had to replace all whitespaces in column names with
under_scores. it's the whitespace that created a problem. now i have to
enter "NULL" in all the empty cells to make the table line up properly
-( but this is not your fault, it's mine. i think many people in my company
are going to be happy now! thank you for all the help you have provided.

 Error Type: Bad Request

yes, I see. the first line of the csv will be split up into words and
for each word a table column is created.
these column names are actually properties of some internal object, so
they MUST be unique. So if you have the same word appear twice in the
first line of the file, you will get this error.

the file size or column number should not be a problem. duplicate column
names are.

hope this helps,
Heiko
