[Zope] Windows Server 2003, II6 and ASP404 vs form posts
Anyone out there using Zope inside IIS 6 on Server 2003 via the ASP404 technique? I've done this successfully on Windows 200 and XP, but on Server 2003, IIS does not seem to be passing the post data to the error handler. When Win2003 was young, there was some list traffic on a similar problem, and Brian Sullivan figured out that IIS was reporting a REQUEST_METHOD of GET even for POST requests. However, the POST data was still passing, so it was possible to check Request.totalBytes (this is the ASP Request, not Zope's) to determine the real nature of the request. Now, though, many an IIS patch later, IIS is invoking the error handler with http content length set to zero (even though it reports that content type is www-urlencoded). So, form submissions do nothing. And, if there's nothing to be done about this, does anyone know if the Fresh Logic or Enfold ISAPI solutions have any way to intermix serving of IIS and Zope content? If I didn't have to do that, I'd be using Apache, and be done by now ;) .

Just for the record, the conclusion of the cited report (once you read to the postscript http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/solaris/report_ps#2) was: People really shouldn't be afraid of running python/zope on solaris, especially in multi-cpu environments, as long as they understand how python works, because you actually have much better resource control than pretty well any other O/S out there, but as they say use the right tool for the job, and make informed decisions ;-) Also, the concerns about Solaris were related to poor performance under Solaris 8 on a multi-Sparc platform.

[Zope] FTP Failures on new install
I've having trouble getting FTP working on a new Zope install. All other Zope functions appear normal, but I'm unable to transfer files _to_ Zope via FTP. I can use FTP to download files from the Zope server and can create new directories on the server. But attempts to transfer files to the server all result in 426 Error creating file errors. ftp put test.html 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII connection for test.html 426 Error creating file. The problem is not a firewall problem; I can reproduce it with local ftp sessions and with no firewall in place. I've tried several Zope versions from 2.6 to 2.7.7. All have the same problem. Common to the attempts is that they were all source builds with Python version 2.3.3 (#1, Mar 10 2004, 06:42:32) [GCC 3.3.2] on Solaris 10 on a dual-Opteron Sun V20Z. I'd be happy to update the Python version if anyone thinks that might cure the problem. Thanks!

[Zope] Re: FTP Failures on new install
Sorry, I should have mentioned that there are no traces of the problem in the error log. Z2.log entries look routine, except for the ftp error itself.

Switching to python 2.4.1 cured the problem. Steve McMahon wrote: I've having trouble getting FTP working on a new Zope install.

[Zope] ZMySQLDA, Problems Connecting
Greetings Zopers, I'm attempting to make connections between Zope and MySQL using MySQL-python 0.3.0 and ZMySQLDA 2.01. The Python/MySQLdb side is working. I can use "connect(db='test')" or "connect(db='test', user='guest', passwd='token')" -- where guest and token are a MySQL username and password -- to build a connection object and go on to do queries. However, when I attempt to add a Z MySQL Database Connection to a folder, I get "Invalid connection string" -- no matter what the connection string I offer. (e.g., "test" or "test guest token" or "test@localhost guest token" or any number of permutations of these. Anybody run into this problem? Any suggestions on avenues to pursue?

[Zope] RE: ZMySQLDA, Problems Connecting
...when I attempt to add a Z MySQL Database Connection to a folder, I get "Invalid connection string" -- no matter what the connection string Problem solved. It turned out there was a line of commented-out diagnostics on the page that reported "Invalid connection string." That let me know the problem was an inability to connect through the socket. Checking that, I discovered that the RedHat default install has 0700 permissions for the directory containing the MySQL socket. Changing that to 0711 cleared up my problems. _________ Steve McMahon, SunType Publishing Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice fax: (530) 757-7682 http://www.suntype.com ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] Zope 'Best Practices'?
Is there anything like a Zope 'Best Practices' document or Wiki? One that would encourage use of certain practices, DTML idioms or products, and warn of practices, idioms or products that are known to cause problems down the line or are slated for extinction? I ask this as a new user who's bewildered by the array of Zope tools and products. So, I read of a practice or Product and think 'wow, that's great!' But I have no idea whether it's in common usage and destined to become part of the core, or is headed for replacement or extinction. Thanks!

[Zope] Selection and Lines Properties for DTML Docs
I'm new to Zope and am interested in the use of document properties for separating content and design in documents (i.e., using dtml-var prop_name in the "edit" tab to insert properties defined on the "properties" tab. I've had success with simple text properties and would like to be able to present the user with selection properties (choice 1, choice 2, ...). That works well when I first define a "lines" property, then a "selection" property. But, what I'd really like to do is hide the lines property from the user. I've tried putting a lines property in another document, then setting the selection value to 'source_doc.lines_prop'. That yields an error "No select variable source_doc.lines_prop." Any ideas on the right way to do this?

In this case, I just meant that it shouldn't appear in the properties list for the particular page. I want to give the editor of the particular page's properties the ability to make a selection, but not the ability to change the list of possible selections. If I create a lines property on my root folder called selection_list, I can then in folder /test/ make a property test_selection, type selection, value selection_list. The problem you may have is that you are trying to put it on another document, rather than on a folder in the acquistion path. You're diagnosis is dead-on. I added my lines property to the containing folder and it worked perfectly. I'm still mystified, though, as to why I couldn't put the lines property in another document in the same folder and use the notation 'doc_id.lines_id' to refer to the lines property in the other document.
