All posts in the topic Installation on Ubuntu 6.10 ? (Short link)

From: Richard Solly Date: 2006 Oct 30 12:54 UTC Short link

I know its getting in early with Ubuntu 6.10, but I am not having any
joy installing the current Groupserver (downloaded 30th Oct) with the
very current Ubuntu 6.10 (installed a day or 2 ago).

Zope 2.9  installs OK (although I noticed that Zope is up to 2.10 from
the Zope web site), but Ubuntu 6.10 still has 2.9.  One can log into the
Zope interface OK.  I guess the first question that arises is what
version of Zope 2.9 - how does one know ?

However, when Zope tries to load Groupserver, the following errors are
produced in the Zope Instance logs  - which also shows the directories
in use.

plus other errors.

Suggestions for quick fixes welcomed from Richard, Dan or others.

I will try a fresh installation on Debian.

PS Ubuntu is now the most popular Linux system by a considerable margin.

Thanks for the comments - yes you are correct - the problem was files missing
from the zope instance Products directory.  I notice that the extracted
groupserver-0.9-products.tar file (from the bz2 file) from a download a "short
while ago" is smaller than the similar file from the bz2 file downloaded today,
although the dates of packing are identical (2006-04-10 15:44).

With today's Product files I can see and load the Groupserver site object into
Zope.

Unfortunately, the normal apache web user interfaces still produces errors when
trying to display the division and example_group pages.

On the web page one gets

> The XML page cannot be displayed

> Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing
resource
'http://g27.melbpc.org.au/example_division/index.xml'

In the event.log one get much error output, concluding with

That immediately above looks like a character set problem.

The help page display OK in a web browser :-)

I will send you more of the error output off list.

Thanks Richard

The small python file fixed the problem.

Interesting, as on starting the zope instance, I previous got one of these:

default encoding set to UTF-8

So it already thought it was using UTF-8, but produced the errors in my
previous posting.

Now on starting it outputs:

default encoding set to UTF-8
. default encoding set to UTF-8

(twice to be sure, is happy and displays all pages :-)

The small python file only works when added to the python library of the zope
distribution - an extra step as part of the GroupServer installation.

As outlined elsewhere, there still appears to be an issue with the script for a
division administrator to add a group, but not many will see that.
