Re: [Zope] Problem with ZSQLMethods/MySQL after update

2005-07-01 Thread Ragnar Beer
Thanks a lot for your help, Dieter, Greg, and Andy!

Dieter, you were absolutely right about the broken instances. All I had to
do was delete ZSQLMethods from my Products folder and restart Zope.
Everything was all right after that.

Andy and Greg, so far I did not have any problems using mysqlpython 1.2.0
with ZMySQLDA 2.0.8. But since Andy is the expert I now installed 2.0.9b3
and am happy with it.

:-) Cheers and thanks again,

Ragnar

[Zope] Problem with ZSQLMethods/MySQL after update

2005-06-27 Thread Ragnar Beer
Hi everybody!

After upgrading Zope from version 2.6.4 to 2.8.0 and mysqlpython from 0.9.2 to
1.2.0 I cannot add or edit ZSQLMethods anymore, although there is an open
(MySQL)db-Connection that works just fine with the same ZSQLMethods that cannot
be edited or with external methods. The error I'm getting is: 

"There are no SQL database connections. You need to add a Zope SQL database
connection before you can edit a Zope SQL Method."

This happens only when using my old zope instance (which I need to) but not
when using a freshly created zope instance.

Is this a known problem? I couldn't find anything in my zope mailing list
archive.

Cheers, 

Ragnar

Did you understand form Jason Ish's message that it should be working

[Zope] Zope and Linux flavors

2001-01-16 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy Zopistas!

These days I came to the conclusion that I might need to investigate 
a bit on Linux as an alternative base for running Zope. So far I've 
been using OpenBSD which is a real timesaver when it comes to setting 
up a secure server which is my first priority over anything else.

What I'd like to know is:

Which Linux distributions are you using for running Zope and how easy 
it was for you to maximize security of your server?

Re: [Zope] OpenBSD 2.8 woes

Whereas I couldn't reproduce the error in a prior thread this time I

goes up to 99% when I try to access the management screens. There was 
a discussion on the OBSD ports list to create a 1.52 port. Did you 
check whether there is and whether that's solving the problem?

[Zope] cross-reference tool

2001-01-12 Thread Ragnar Beer

Hi Zopistas!

The more variables I have in my external methods the greater the 
danger becomes that a typo slips through my alert eyes ;) and the 
more I wish I had a cross reference tool to check variable occurences.

Is there such a tool for python? (I've never heard of one.) What are 
you using for debugging Zope stuff?

RE: [Zope] Caching/http-acceleration and proxying Zope-served content

2001-01-09 Thread Ragnar Beer

I started using mod_proxy, because I needed the configuration options 
(redirection etc.) and squid wouldn't cache ssl stuff. It's running 
very well since about six months now.

The downside is that it's really badly documented. BTW there is a new 
book by Ralf Engelschall that you can download for free from 
http://www.apacheref.com that also covers mod_proxy. Not in detail 
though. He calls mod_proxy apache's stepchild.

Concerning numbers I gave some in my caching with mod_proxy howto 
(http://www.zope.org/Members/rbeer/caching).

[Zope] Adding many users

2001-01-04 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy Zopistas and happy new year!

I need to add about 150 users to an acl_users folder and I wouldn't 
like to do it manually since the data already exists in a python 
list. What would be an elegant way to add them all with a python 
script?

[Zope] Re: running zope with OpenBSD 2.8 i386

2000-12-17 Thread Ragnar Beer

I still got it under construction. Zope shouldn't work with Python 
1.6 so I removed the package and downloaded the python 1.5.2 sources 
you ./configure --with-thread to have threads enabled and that's it. 
Runs beautifully but I didn't have time to install Zope so far. It's 
running very well under OBSD 2.7 but that version has a python 1.5.2 
package.

Viel Spass!

[Zope] Squishdot with access restrictions

2000-12-13 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy Zopistas!

Has anyone installed a Squishdot site with access restrictions? I've 
got the problem that as soon as I take away the "view" and "access 
contents information" permission from the anonymous user in my 
Squishdot site I cannot use the search interface anymore but only get 
KeyErrors (icon or thread_path depending on which permission I take 
away). I'm using Squishdot 0.7.2 and Zope 2.2.2.

Any help appreciated!

[Zope] Indirect addressing

2000-12-07 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy Zopistas!

I have a directory structure like this:

+ myfolder
index_html
my_external_method
dtml_method_1
dtml_method_2
...

In index_html I want to include either dtml_method_1 or 
dtml_method_2, ... (one method for every week of year). 
my_external_method tells me which dtml_method to include.
This would logically be handled with ">" in index_html but this doesn't work.

How could I get this working? Any ideas?

Re: [Zope] [ot] python book

2000-12-05 Thread Ragnar Beer

I read Learning Python and still love it and would highly recommend 
it. The book is very good! Apart from that I'm using the Python 
Essential Reference more often nowadays. It's handier than a printout 
of the lib.pdf but actually you don't really need if if you are comfy

What I'm still missing is something like the perl cookbook but for Python :(

Re: [Zope] IIS and Zope share same problem :-S

2000-10-20 Thread Ragnar Beer

As I already suggested ages ;) ago (and still didn't put into 
practice) it would here again be best to deny everything that isn't 
explicitly allowed (e.g. allow whatever ends with _html or .html and 
deny everything else) but then I would have to go over the whole 
website and make bazillions of changes ...

I fixed the problem temporarily by adding some 
"FilesMatch/LocationMatch + deny from all" in my httpd.conf. But what 
else do I have to deny apart from objectIds?

[Zope] ZMySQL and MySQLdb Versions

2000-10-20 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy!

When I go to the download section on zope.org looking for a way to 
connect Zope and MySQL I can find the following:

- Zope MySQL Database Adapter, 2000/07/20 by mordred (ZMySQLDA-1.2.0.tar.gz)
- ZMySQLDA, 2000/07/20 by MikeP (ZMySQLDA-1.1.3-nonbin.tar.gz)
- An Interface for MySQL, 2000/07/20 by adustman (MySQLdb-0.1.2.tar.gz)

Now how should anybody new to Zope know what to use? Especially when 
ZMySQLDA goes up to at least version 2.0.0 (I tried to look it up but 
couldn't connect to starship.python.net) and MySQLdb at least to 
version 0.2.1. I'm still using ZMySQLDA 1.1.3 with MySQLdb 0.1.3 
which can't be found in the download section.

Confusing, isn't it? What could we possibly do about it?

[Zope] acl_users mystery

2000-09-06 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy!

I had a strange problem today: I added a Role "User" in the root's 
security tab and gave it a couple of permissions. But further down 
the tree in /de/support where in the acl_users folder I added a user 
with the role 'User' the permissions where not acquired (until set 
manually in the /de/support security tab I couldn't log in) although 
'Acquire permission settings' was turned on all the way down the 
tree. Very mysterious. Did I misunderstand the whole idea or is there 
something wrong? (Zope 2.1.6)

Re: [Zope] tree plus/minus url

2000-08-03 Thread Ragnar Beer

I found quite an easy solution for Zope 2.1.6:

In lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py you have to replace the "old 
code" with the "new code". (Blame me - I forgot to make a copy 
beforehands which keeps me from using diff.)

The idea is to "export" the piece of code that puts together the url 
to treeData['tree-item-clickurl'] so that you can access it with 
 within your tree-tag. I haven't checked 
this for unwanted side effects. Perhaps someone more familiar with 
the zope code could do that? For me it works fine!

 # Mostly inline encode_seq for speed
 s=compress(str(diff))

2000-08-02 Thread Ragnar Beer

Hi Zope-Configuristas!

I would finally like to say goodbye to pcgi but one thing keeps me 
hooked. I tried and tried but the solution just won't appear. Here is 
the problem:

I have a site that is supposed to be reachable via http as well as 
via https. That's not a problem per se. Configuration of zope with 
proxy_pass is easy as can be. The problem is that management shall be 
possible via https _only_ (for obvious reasons). But as soon as I use 
site access to define the http-branch this branch is not 
managable/accessable via https any more. Is there a solution?

[Zope] tree plus/minus url

2000-08-01 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy!

I've been experimenting with trees for a while and discovered that 
almost all innocent first time clickers were clicking on the text 
_behind_ the plus and minus images instead on the images themselves. 
So I decided to make the text a link with the same url as the image 
has but I can't find the right variable. Where is that url stored? 
Can anybody help?

Re: [Zope] DA, MySQL and Unix socket

2000-07-30 Thread Ragnar Beer

If you have Zope and MySQL running on the same machine and want the 
socket connection in order to make MySQL invisible to the outside 
world you can as well bind it to 127.0.0.1 and use standard ZMySQLDA.

Zope 2.2 (linux2) installs and works fine using ZServer but for

[Zope] automatic link adjustment

2000-07-10 Thread Ragnar Beer

Howdy Zopistas out there!

I just ran into some kind of administrative problem: my students are 
not so willing anymore when it comes to changing links for the third 
revision of our website. There are about 200 links to change manually 
and they have my full sympathy. Apart from that this process is quite 
error-prone and always needs a lot of testing.

Is it possible to have automatic link adjustment in Zope if you 
change an objects name? I mean like in Dreamweaver or whatever 
website management programm so that it would ask whether to adjust 
the referring links if you change a page's name?

I know we could do the management partly with Dreamweaver and put the 
files via ftp but whatever sends cleartext passwords is not an 
option. So ftp is out.

Any other way?

Interesting. I only realized that ps gives less information under

[Zope] too many open files

Help!

Zope 2.1.6 refuses to work in the middle of an external method on my 
i386 running under OpenBSD 2.7. Is says:

OSError
[Errno 24] Too many open files: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'


I've never ever seen this problem before and this external method 
used to work well until some minutes ago. Now the error keeps 
reappearing even after rebooting and also other external methods that 
used to run well now deliver the same message.

Does anybody have suggestions how to diagnose/cure this problem?

Right, this is rather a strategy to follow from the beginning. 
Otherwise - arghh! (But it's very proactive, isn't it?)

They wouldn't be callable from outside any more. This is the "deny 
everything that isn't allowed explicitly" policy. If I'd want them to 
be callable I'd have to put something in their names the makes it 
possible to identify them and then allow access.

I'm using


Deny from all


to block any request from my virtual server on port 80 that is under 
the /ssl directory or has "manage" in it. You could then allow from 
localhost.

I was thinking about extending this idea to protect myself from 
possible seccurity-holes in zope by denying everything and allowing 
only requests ending in _html or _img. Any opinions on that?

Re: [Zope] Zope on OpenBSD

That's absolutely right. Use the package instead! You can simply ftp 
the python-1.5.2 package from ftp.openbsd.org or one of its mirrors. 
This way it took me about 5 minutes to get Zope running from source 
under OpenBSD 2.6 on an i386. No need to build Python yourself:)

[Zope] tree state cookie

Howdy!

I just recently got complaints from people visiting my web site. They 
have activated the "website wants to set cookie" alarm and they got 
lots of alarms when visiting my website. Since I never use any 
cookies it wasn't hard to find the cause: I wasn't aware that trees 
use cookies to store their state. Is there an option to disable this?

This is what I'm doing at the moment (more or less) but your question 
made me think. Actually this is an example of "allow anything that 
isn't explicitly denied" which is not a very good policy if you want 
security. I remember (but - darn - can't remember where I have it) a 
posting that said that anyone can easily see the names of all objects 
in a folder which is nice intelligence gathering.
I guess it would be much better (and even more brutal;) to deny 
everything that isn't allowed explicitly. I'll try that later. I 
think I'll have to allow .*_html and .*_img for the http protocol 
plus all the .*/manage.* stuff for https and perhaps also make some 
(not so secure) restrictions based on ip adresses.

Re: [Zope] ANN: Perl For Zope

2000-05-25 Thread Ragnar Beer

I guess that many of us - like me - have come to Zope and Python 
after some experience with Perl. I'm really glad I learned Python 
after programming in Perl, C, R, Lisp, Pascal, Forth, Basic and 
Assembler. Python nowadays clearly is my favorite and Perl is located 
on the other end together with assembler.
Python helps me writing structured programms and I am able to read my 
code after a while even if I didn't always take enough time to add 
comments.
On the other hand I still have my TPJ subscription and I don't mind 
if it is _possible_ to use external perl functions as long as I don't 
_have_to_.
A really horrible vision for me would be if Zope itself or parts of 
it were rewritten in Perl... arghh!
