Re: [Zope] product installation voodoo

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 To which Michael responded: i've had situations where trying to import a .zexp does not work until the file's permissions are set to nobody:nobody ? Of course. This was because your zope, running as nobody.nody, could not read the .zexp file, as read was apparently not enabled for everybody. Chowning it to nobody.nobody allowed the zope process to read it. ___ 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 )
