plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver 0.14

ZC Buildout recipe for installing a Zope 2 ZEO server

plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver

This recipe creates and configures a Zope 2 ZEO server in parts. It also installs a control script, which is like zeoctl, in the bin/ directory. The name of the control script is the the name of the part in buildout.

You can use it with a part like this:

[zeoserver]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver
zope2-location = /path/to/zope2/install
zeo-address = 8100

Options

zope2-location

The path where Zope 2 is installed. If you are also using the plone.recipe.zope2install recipe, and you have that configured as a part called ‘zope2’ prior to the zope2zeoserver part, you can use ${zope2:location} for this parameter. You must ensure the zope2zeoserver part is run after the zope2install one.

zeopack

The path to the zeopack.py backup script. A wrapper for this will be generated in bin/zeopack, which sets up the appropriate environment to run this. Defaults to “${zope2-location}/utilities/ZODBTools/zeopack.py”. Set this option to an empty value if you do not want this script to be generated.

zeo-conf

A relative or absolute path to a zeo.conf file. If this is not given, a zeo.conf will be generated based on the the options below.

The following options all affect the generated zope.conf.

zeo-address

Give a port for the ZEO server. Defaults to 8100.

effective-user

The name of the effective user for the ZEO process. Defaults to not setting an effective user.

invalidation-queue-size

The invalidation-queue-size used for the ZEO server. Defaults to 100.

zeo-log

The filename of the ZEO log file. Defaults to var/log/${partname}.log

zeo-log-custom

A custom section for the eventlog, to be able to use another event logger than logfile. zeo-log is still used to set the logfile value in the runner section.

storage-number

The number used to identify a storage.

file-storage

The filename where the ZODB data file will be stored. Defaults to var/filestorage/Data.fs.

blob-storage

The folder where the ZODB blob data files will be stored.

socket-name

The filename where ZEO will write its socket file. Defaults to var/zeo.zdsock.

authentication-database

The filename for a authentication database. Only accounts listed in this database will be allowed to access the ZEO server.

authentication-realm

The authentication realm. Defaults to ‘ZEO’

zeo-conf-additional

Give additional lines to zeo.conf. Make sure you indent any lines after the one with the parameter.

Change History

0.14 (2008-08-21)

• Fix the test to not rely on a specific installation folder name. [dataflake]

• Added support for a unix socket path in zeo-address and expanded the test coverage for the zeopack script generation. [dataflake]

• Add support for ZEO authentication. [wichert]

0.13 (2008-03-27)

• Fixed call to HandleCommandLine by computing the serviceClassString ourselves if our module name is not __main__ (ie, if it was imported from another module). This works around the fact that HandleCommandLine calls GetServiceClassString which in turn only calculates the full path if the original module is __main__. [sidnei]

• Fixed generation of runzeo.bat when using ZEO from egg, where ZConfig is not in ZODB3_HOME. [rochael]

• Only generate the Windows service scripts if there is a zope2-location, since it’s currently the only place where the nt_svcutils can be found. [rochael]

• Fixed test breakages on Windows. [rochael]

0.12 (2008-03-02)

• Fixed zeopack generation so it includes zope-location. [tarek]

0.11 (2008-02-19)

• Made Python 2.3 compatible [fschulze]

• Added win32 specific scripts. [tarek]

• Added a zeo-log-custom option. [tarek]

• Added a test environement and a basic doctest to validate the recipe. [tarek]

0.10 (2008-01-09)

• Calculate the package working set outside of the recipe constructor. Closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/180084 [rochael]

0.9 (2007-12-30)

• Added invalidation-queue-size and storage-number options. [hannosch]

• Merged rochael-blobsupport branch. Added support for ZODB 3.8 blob storage configuration. This adds the blob-storage option. This closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/179115 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/179117. [rochael, hannosch]

• Renamed zope-conf-additional option to zeo-conf-additional. [rochael]

0.8

• Small documentation update. Added link to the bugtracker. [hannosch]

• Have PID file’s location default to ${buildout:directory}/var/${name}.pid. Keeping the PID file in $INSTANCE_HOME gives trouble when buildout rebuilds the part. [nouri, mbenali]

0.7

• Change default location of zeo socket to var. [smcmahon]

• Add option to set socket-name. [smcmahon]

0.6

• Move the documentation to a separate README.txt and read that from setup.py. [wichert]

• Add a wrapper around zeopack which inserts default options for our ZEO server. [wichert]

0.5

• Added an option to set the effective-user. [optilude]

0.3

• Updated setup.py. [optilude]

0.2

• Similarly, there are some hardcoded dependencies on $INSTANCE_HOME/etc/. [optilude]

• Documented options, cleaned up code, and added the ability to use a manual zeo.conf. [optilude]

• Make this work, at least on OS X and probably unix-like system. It wouldn’t surprise me if this needs adjustment for Windows in the same way that we do in plone.recipe.zope2instance. :-( [optilude]

0.1

• Initial implementation. [regebro, hannosch]
