[Zope] Re: PRODUCTS_PATH

Thu, 21 Nov 2002 18:43:27 +0100

Yes, thanks for helping to Andy McKay, Paul Winkler, Chris Withers,
thats what I mean.

The DirectoryView (skins) don't working with PRODUCT_PATH.
If I use INSTANCE_HOME they will work. But that's not what I want.
If I set the INSTANCE_HOME I can just use ONE data.fs on
"INSTANCE_HOME/var/data.fs".
If I want is to install a second zope an use the same Products, I have
to set the INSTANCE_HOME of both zope to the same directory and in this
directory has to be a folder "Products" and a folder "var" with the
"data.fs". And here we are, we use the same data.fs with two different
zope. Or I'm wrong? Is there a way to bring zope to load the installed
own zope...var/data.fs with INSTANCE_HOME and not the one in
INSTANCE_HOME/var/data.fs?

The solution at this moment is to put all my different products in the
INSTANCE_HOME/Products till this is fixed.
But the rigth way should bee to set a PRODUCTS_HOME with different
path's to my products.

Thanks
Roger

the last status update is from you on Nov. 7 and says
"I'll try and reproduce this when I get a chance, which won't 
be in the next month or so."  I haven't checked out
from CVS since then, so I assumed nothing had changed.

BTW, could someone with write access on cmf.zope.org please update this
link? it points to the "historical" tracker.

I'm not sure what you mean by "isn't working", but there
is a known bug with PRODUCTS_PATH and CMF.
Filesystem Directory Views which are used by CMF & Plone
do not find the specified path unless it's under 
INSTANCE_HOME or SOFTWARE_HOME.

I filed a bug report in the CMF collector a while ago.
There was some followup, but no fix yet.
It will get addressed eventually, but IIRC it's not high priority at the
moment.
