[Zope] Debugging and Environment Variables

Sun, 30 Mar 2003 10:48:32 -0800 (PST)

I am stuck on a minor problem that someone here could
probably help me with. I have posted this a few times
now and gotten no answers so ANY help is greatly
appreciated.

I am trying to simulate an HTTP request to the Zope
Server using the techniques described in the "Testing
and Debugging" chapter of the Developers Guide: 

>>> ZPublisher.Zope('')
Status: 200 OK
X-Powered-By: Zope (www.zope.org), Python
(www.python.org)
Content-Length: 1238
Content-Type: text/html

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Zope</TITLE>

  ... blah blah...

</BODY></HTML>
>>> 

However, I am unable to get the simulated HTTP
requests to return anything when I mimic the tutorial:

>>>
>>> ZPublisher.Zope('http://localhost:8080/')
Status: 404 Not Found
.....
<P><STRONG>Resource not found</STRONG></P> Sorry, the
requested resource does not exist.<p>Check the URL and
try again.</p><p><b>Resource:</b>
http://127.0.0.1/Zope/h
ttp%3A</p>
.....
>>>

I noticed that (http://127.0.0.1/Zope/h
ttp%3A) is being called instead of
(http://127.0.0.1:8080/).

It seems that I need to set the SERVER_URL environment
variable to (http://localhost:8080/). I have tried
doing so like this:

>>> ZPublisher.Zope("http://localhost:8080/", -e
SERVER_URL="http://localhost:8080")

but I get a syntax error.

Can ANYONE answer my (apparently) stupid questions? Do
I need to set the SERVER_URL environment variable
prior to debugging? Is there something wrong with my
Zope installation? Am I retarded beyond belief?

Thanks Everyone,
Derek Basch
