plone.recipe.zope2instance 7.1.1

Common options

eggs

The list of distributions you want to make available to the instance.

zcml

Install ZCML slugs for the distributions listed, separated by whitespace. You can specify the type of slug by appending ‘-’ and the type of slug you want to create. Some examples: my.distribution my.distribution-meta.

http-address

Set the address of the HTTP server. Can be either a port or a socket address. Defaults to 0.0.0.0:8080.

ip-address

The default IP address on which Zope’s various server protocol implementations will listen for requests. If this is unset, Zope will listen on all IP addresses supported by the machine. This directive can be overridden on a per-server basis in the servers section. Defaults to not setting an ip-address. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

threads

Specify the number of worker threads used to service requests. The default is 4 for WSGI (since this is the waitress default) and 2 for ZServer.

zodb-cache-size

Set the ZODB cache size, i.e. the number of objects which the ZODB cache will try to hold. Defaults to 30000.

zserver-threads

Deprecated, use threads instead. Specify the number of threads that Zope’s ZServer web server will use to service requests. The recipes default is 2. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

environment-vars

Define arbitrary key-value pairs for use as environment variables during Zope’s run cycle. Example:

environment-vars =
  TZ US/Eastern
  zope_i18n_allowed_languages en
  zope_i18n_compile_mo_files true

initialization

Specify some Python initialization code to include within the generated sitecustomize.py script (Buildout >= 1.5) or within the instance script (Buildout < 1.5). This is very limited. In particular, be aware that leading whitespace is stripped from the code given. added in version 4.2.14

wsgi

By default this recipe creates a Python script that uses waitress as a WSGI server. When running Python 2 you can disable WSGI and use ZServer by setting wsgi = off and including ZServer in the eggs specification list. Example:

wsgi = off
eggs =
  ...
  ZServer

You can use other PasteDeploy-compatible WSGI servers by passing a path to a WSGI configuration file here and including the WSGI server’s egg in the eggs specification. Example:

wsgi = ${buildout:directory}/etc/gunicorn.ini
eggs =
  ...
  gunicorn

The WSGI configuration file will not be created for you in this case, unlike the built-in waitress support. You have to provide it yourself.

max-request-body-size

Specify the maximum request body size in bytes The default is 1073741824 (since this is the waitress default)

Theme resources

Please refer to https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/plone.resource for more details and setup instructions.

resources

Specify a central resource directory. Example:

resources = ${buildout:directory}/resources

Locales

locales

Specify a locales directory. Example:

locales = ${buildout:directory}/locales

This registers a locales directory with extra or different translations. If you want to override a few translations from the plone domain in the English language, you can add a en/LC_MESSAGES/plone.po file in this directory, with standard headers at the top, followed by something like this:

#. Default: "You are here:"
msgid "you_are_here"
msgstr "You are very welcome here:"

Translations for other message ids are not affected and will continue to work.

Development options

verbose-security

Set to on to turn on verbose security (and switch to the Python security implementation). Defaults to off (and the C security implementation).

debug-exceptions

WSGI only: set to on to disable exception views including standard_error_message. Exceptions other than Unauthorized or ConflictError can then travel up into the WSGI stack. Use this option if you want more convenient error debugging offered by WSGI middleware such as the werkzeug debugger. See the Zope WSGI documentation for examples.

profile

Set to on enables repoze.profile. Defaults to off, If switched on there are further options prefixed with profile_ to configure it as below. You will need to add the repoze.profile package, either by adding it to your eggs section directly or by using the extra plone.recipe.zope2instance[profile].

profile_log_filename

Filename of the raw profile data. Default to profile-SECTIONNAME.raw. This file contains the raw profile data for further analysis.

profile_cachegrind_filename

If the package pyprof2calltree is installed, another file is written. It is meant for consumation with any cachegrind compatible application. Defaults to cachegrind.out.SECTIONNAME.

profile_discard_first_request

Defaults to true. See repoze.profile docs for details.

profile_path

Defaults to /__profile__. The path for through the web access to the last profiled request.

profile_flush_at_shutdown

Defaults to true. See repoze.profile docs for details.

profile_unwind

Defaults to false. See repoze.profile docs for details.

Direct storage

If you have only one application process, it can open the database files directly without running a database server process.

file-storage

The filename where the ZODB data file will be stored. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/filestorage/Data.fs.

blob-storage

The name of the directory where the ZODB blob data will be stored, defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/blobstorage.

Basic ZEO storage

If you want multiple application processes you need to run a separate database server process and connect to it, either via ZEO or RelStorage.

zeo-address

Set the address of the ZEO server. Defaults to 8100. You can set more than one address (white space delimited). Alternative addresses will be used if the primary address is down.

zeo-client

Set to ‘on’ to make this instance a ZEO client. In this case, setting the zeo-address option is required, and the file-storage option has no effect. To set up a ZEO server, you can use the plone.recipe.zeoserver recipe. Defaults to ‘off’.

blob-storage

The location of the blob zeocache, defaults to var/blobcache. If shared-blob is on it defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/blobstorage.

shared-blob

Defaults to off. Set this to on if the ZEO server and the instance have access to the same directory. Either by being on the same physical machine or by virtue of a network file system like NFS. Make sure this instances blob-storage is set to the same directory used for the ZEO servers blob-storage. In this case the instance will not stream the blob file through the ZEO connection, but just send the information of the file location to the ZEO server, resulting in faster execution and less memory overhead.

zeo-client-read-only-fallback

A flag indicating whether a read-only remote storage should be acceptable as a fallback when no writable storages are available. Defaults to false.

read-only

Set zeo client as read only added in version 4.2.12

ZEO authentication

You need to activate ZEO auth on the server side as well, for this to work. Without this anyone that can connect to the database servers socket can read and write arbitrary data.

zeo-username

Enable ZEO authentication and use the given username when accessing the ZEO server. It is obligatory to also specify a zeo-password.

zeo-password

Password to use when connecting to a ZEO server with authentication enabled.

zeo-realm

Authentication realm to use when authentication with a ZEO server. Defaults to ‘ZEO’.

RelStorage

Please refer to https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/RelStorage for more details and setup instructions.

rel-storage

Allows to set a RelStorage instead of a FileStorage.

Contains settings separated by newlines, with these values:

• type: any database type supported (postgresql, oracle, mysql)

• RelStorage specific keys, like cache-servers and poll-interval

• all other keys are passed on to the database-specific RelStorage adapter.

Example:

rel-storage =
  type oracle
  dsn (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(HOST=s01))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=d01)))
  user tarek
  password secret

Logging

In most cases you don’t need to adjust any of this, you might want to adjust log levels or configure mailinglogger.

event-log

The filename of the event log. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/log/${partname}.log Setting this value to ‘disable’ will make the <eventlog> section to be omitted, disabling logging events by default to a .log file.

event-log-level

Set the level of the console output for the event log. Level may be any of CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, or ALL. Defaults to INFO.

event-log-max-size

Maximum size of event log file. Enables log rotation. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

event-log-old-files

Number of previous log files to retain when log rotation is enabled. Defaults to 1. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

event-log-custom

A custom section for the eventlog, to be able to use another event logger than logfile. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

mailinglogger

A mailinglogger section added into the event log. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI. Example snippet:

<mailing-logger>
  level error
  flood-level 10
  smtp-server smtp.mydomain.com
  from logger@mydomain.com
  to errors@mydomain.com
  subject [My domain error] [%(hostname)s] %(line)s
</mailing-logger>

You will need to add mailinglogger to your buildout’s egg section to make this work.

access-log, z2-log

The filename for the Z2 access log. Defaults to var/log/${partname}-Z2.log (var/log/${partname}-access.log) for WSGI). You can disable access logging by setting this value to ‘disable’. For ZServer this will omit the <logger access> section in zope.conf. For WSGI, the logging handler will be a NullHandler.

access-log-level, z2-log-level

Set the log level for the access log. Level may be any of CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, or ALL. Defaults to WARN (INFO for WSGI).

access-log-max-size

Maximum size of access log file. Enables log rotation. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

access-log-old-files

Number of previous log files to retain when log rotation is enabled. Defaults to 1. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

access-log-custom

Like event-log-custom, a custom section for the access logger, to be able to use another event logger than logfile. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

sentry_dsn

Provide a Sentry DSN here to enable basic Sentry logging documented in https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/logging/. You will need to add the Python Sentry SDK, either by adding it to your eggs section directly or by adding plone.recipe.zope2instance[sentry]. Available for WSGI only.

sentry_level

Set the logging level for Sentry breadcrumbs. Available for WSGI only.

sentry_event_level

Set the logging level for Sentry events. Available for WSGI only.

sentry_ignore

Set the (space separated list of) logger names that are ignored by Sentry. Available for WSGI only.

sentry_max_value_length

Set the maximum size of traceback messages sent to Sentry. If your tracebacks get truncated, increase this above the sentry-sdk default of 1024. Available for WSGI only.

Advanced logging options for WSGI

For more complex logging configuration, the zope2instance recipe exposes the underlaying logging.handlers functionality through the access-log-handler and event-log-handler configuration options. This allows you to configure an arbitrary logging handler for Python as defined in here.

The supplementary options event-log-args, event-log-kwargs and access-log-args, access-log-kwargs can be used for passing positional and keyword arguments to the constructor of the underlaying handler.

access-log-handler

The (dotted) name of an importable Python logging handler like logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler.

Default: FileHandler

access-log-args

A python tuple which usually refers to the logging filename and opening mode of the file like (“access.log”, “a”). Note that you a Python tuple with only one element (e.g. only the filename) must have a trailing comma like (“access.log”, ) The access-log-args is used to specify the positional parameters for the logging handler configured through access-log-handler.

Default: (r”access.log”, “a”)

access-log-kwargs

A python dictionary used for passing keyword argument for the logging handler configured through access-log-handler e.g. {“when”: “h”, “interval”: 1}.

Default: {}

event-log-handler

Same as access-log-handler but for the configuration of the event log of Plone.

event-log-args

Same as access-log-args but for the configuration of the event log of Plone.

event-log-kwargs

Same as access-log-kwargs but for the configuration of the event log of Plone.

wsgi-logging-ini-template

By default plone.recipe.zope2instance uses a hard-coded logging template for the generated WSGI configuration in parts/<partname>/etc/wsgi.ini. The template is defined as wsgi_logging_ini_template variable within the recipe.py file.

You can override the template with a custom wsgi_logging.ini file using this option. All other default wsgi options will be untouched.

Example:

wsgi-logging-ini-template = /path/to/wsgi_logging.ini

This option cannot be used together with the wsgi-ini-template option (see Advanced options: wsgi-ini-template)

access-log-handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
access-log-args  = (r"access.log", "a")
access-log-kwargs = {"maxBytes": 10000000, "backupCount": 7}

event-log-handler = logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler
event-log-args = (r"event.log", )
event-log-kwargs = {"when": "D", "interval": 1}

Load non-setuptools compatible Python libraries

products

A list of paths where Zope 2 products are installed. The first path takes precedence in case the same product is found in more than one directory. Zope 2 products are deprecated and won’t work any longer in a future version of Zope/Plone.

extra-paths

A list of paths where additional Python packages are installed. The paths are searched in the given order after all egg and products paths.

Advanced ZCML options

site-zcml

If you want a custom site.zcml file, put its content here. If this option is used the zcml and zcml-additional options are ignored.

zcml-additional

Extra ZCML statements that should be included in the generated site.zcml file.

Advanced ZEO options

zeo-client-cache-size

Set the size of the ZEO client cache. Defaults to ‘128MB’. The ZEO cache is a disk based cache shared between application threads. It is stored either in temporary files or, in case you activate persistent cache files with the option client (see below), in the folder designated by the zeo-var option.

zeo-client-client

Set the persistent cache name that is used to construct the cache filenames. This enables the ZEO cache to persist across application restarts. Persistent cache files are disabled by default.

zeo-client-blob-cache-size

Set the maximum size of the ZEO blob cache, in bytes. If not set, then the cache size isn’t checked and the blob directory will grow without bound.

zeo-client-blob-cache-size-check

Set the ZEO check size as percent of zeo-client-blob-cache-size (for example, 10 for 10%). The ZEO cache size will be checked when this many bytes have been loaded into the cache. Defaults to 10% of the blob cache size. This option is ignored if shared-blob is enabled.

zeo-client-drop-cache-rather-verify

Indicates that the cache should be dropped rather than verified when the verification optimization is not available (e.g. when the ZEO server restarted). Defaults to ‘False’.

zeo-storage

Set the storage number of the ZEO storage. Defaults to ‘1’.

zeo-var

Used in the ZEO storage snippets to configure the ZEO var folder, which is used to store persistent ZEO client cache files. Defaults to the system temporary folder.

Advanced options

wsgi-ini-template

By default plone.recipe.zope2instance uses a hard-coded template for the generated WSGI configuration in parts/<partname>/etc/wsgi.ini. The template is defined as wsgi_ini_template variable within the recipe.py file.

You can override the template with a custom template file using this option.

Example:

wsgi-ini-template = /path/to/wsgi_template.ini

The available variables for variable substition can be found within the existing template (see above).

asyncore-use-poll

By default false. If you want the waitress.asyncore.loop flag to use poll() instead of the default select() set to true.

before-storage

Wraps the base storage in a “before storage” which sets it in read-only mode from the time given (or “now” for the current time).

This option is normally used together with demo-storage for a normally running site in order for changes to be made to the database.

client-home

Sets the clienthome for the generated instance. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/<name of the section>.

clear-untrusted-proxy-headers

This tells Waitress to remove any untrusted proxy headers (“Forwarded”, “X-Forwarded-For”, “X-Forwarded-By”, “X-Forwarded-Host”, “X-Forwarded-Port”, “X-Forwarded-Proto”). The default in waitress 1 is false, but waitress 2 changes this to true. We explicitly default to false. When you set it to true, you may need to set other wsgi.ini options like trusted_proxy_headers and trusted_proxy. Setting those is not supported by the recipe yet. Used for WSGI only, not ZServer.

default-zpublisher-encoding

This controls what character set is used to encode unicode data that reaches ZPublisher without any other specified encoding. This defaults to ‘utf-8’. Plone requires this to be set to utf-8.

demo-storage

If ‘on’ it enables the demo storage. By default, this is a memory-based storage option; changes are not persisted (see the demo-file-storage option to use a persistent storage for changes made during the demonstration).

To use with a base storage option configured with a blob-storage, you must set a demo-blob-storage.

demo-file-storage

If provided, the filename where the ZODB data file for changes committed during a demonstration will be stored.

demo-blob-storage

If provided, the name of the directory where demonstration ZODB blob data will be stored.

This storage may be connected to a demonstration file storage, or used with the default memory-based demo storage (in this case you might want to use a temporary directory).

storage-wrapper

Template for arbitrary configuration to be wrapped around the main storage. %s will be replaced with the existing storage configuration.

effective-user

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

enable-product-installation

Enable the persistent product registry by setting this to on. By default the registry is turned off. Enabling the registry is deprecated.

ftp-address

Give a port for the FTP server. This enables the FTP server. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

http-force-connection-close

Set to on to enforce Zope to set Connection: close header. This is useful if for example a 304 leaves the connection open with Varnish in front and Varnish tries to reuse the connection.

http-fast-listen

Set to off to defer opening of the HTTP socket until the end of the Zope startup phase. Defaults to on.

icp-address

Give a port for the ICP server. This enables the ICP server. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

import-directory

Used to configure the import directory for instance. Defaults to <client-home>/import.

port-base

Offset applied to the port numbers used for ZServer configurations. For example, if the http-server port is 8080 and the port-base is 1000, the HTTP server will listen on port 9080. This makes it easy to change the complete set of ports used by a Zope server process. Zope defaults to 0.

python-check-interval

An integer telling the Python interpreter to check for asynchronous events every number of instructions. This affects how often thread switches occur. Defaults to 1000.

relative-paths

Set this to true to make the generated scripts use relative paths. You can also enable this in the [buildout] section.

scripts

Add this parameter with no arguments to suppress script generation. Otherwise (i.e. without this parameter), scripts for packages added to the eggs parameter will be generated. You may also configure per package. E.g.:

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
eggs =
  Plone
  mr.migrator
  my.package
scripts = my_package_script

In the above example, only my_package_script will be generated. Keep in mind that the egg containing the script (my.package in the example) must be listed explicitly in the eggs option, even if it is a dependency of an already listed egg.

template-cache

Used to configure the cache for page-template files. Chameleon will write compile page-templates into this directory and use it as a cache. See https://chameleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html for more info. Valid options are off or on or a directory-location. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/cache (it also confirms to what var is set to).

var

Used to configure the base directory for all things going into var. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var.

webdav-address

Give a port for the WebDAV server. This enables the WebDAV server. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

webdav-force-connection-close

Valid options are off and on. Defaults to off. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

pipeline

The main application pipeline served by the wsgi server. By default the pipeline is:

translogger
egg:Zope#httpexceptions
zope

The translogger line in the pipeline will be removed if z2-log is set to disabled or if it is not set and access-log is set to disabled (case insensitive). Used for WSGI only, not ZServer.

zlib-storage

Adds support for file compression on a file storage database. The option accepts the values ‘active’ (compress new records) or ‘passive’ (do not compress new records). Both options support already compressed records.

You can use the ‘passive’ setting while you prepare a number of connected clients for compressed records.

zodb-cache-size-bytes

Set the ZODB cache sizes in bytes. This feature is still experimental.

zodb-temporary-storage

If given Zope’s default temporary storage definition will be replaced by the lines of this parameter. If set to “off” or “false”, no temporary storage definition will be created. This prevents startup issues for basic Zope 4 sites as it does not ship with the required packages by default anymore.

zope-conf

A relative or absolute path to a zope.conf file. If this is given, many of the options in the recipe will be ignored.

zope-conf-imports

You can define custom sections within zope.conf using the ZConfig API. But, in order for Zope to understand your custom sections, you’ll have to import the python packages that define these custom sections using %import syntax.

Example:

zope-conf-imports =
  mailinglogger
  eea.graylogger

zope-conf-additional

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

Example:

zope-conf-additional =
  locale fr_FR
  http-realm Slipknot

zopectl-umask

Manually set the umask for the zopectl process.

Example:

zopectl-umask = 002

http-header-max-length

Manually set the maximum size of received HTTP header being processed by Zope. The request is discarded and considered as a DoS attack if the header size exceeds this limit. Default: 8192. Used for ZServer only, not WSGI.

Example:

http-header-max-length = 16384

Windows

On the windows platform the bin/instance script as described below will not be generated, because it uses a Unix specific implementation.

To run Plone start it with:

.\bin\runwsgi.exe -v .\parts\etc\wsgi.ini

Or for development in debug mode use:

.\bin\runwsgi.exe -v .\parts\etc\wsgi.ini

The documentation for the extended Zope control script below does not apply.

The debug, console and run commands

The extended Zope control script installed by this recipe, usually bin/instance by convention, offers a debug command and another run command. The debug command starts an interactive Python prompt with the Zope application available via the app name. Similarly, the run command accepts a Python script as an argument that will be run under the same conditions.

These commands have also been extended to set up a more complete environment. Specifically, these commands set up a REQUEST, log in the AccessControl.SpecialUsers.system user, and may traverse to an object, such as a CMF portal. This environment set up is controlled with following options:

-R/--no-request -- do not set up a REQUEST.
-L/--no-login -- do not login the system user.
-O/--object-path <path> -- Traverse to <path> from the app
                           and make available as `obj`.

Note that these options must come before the script name, e.g. bin/instance -RLOPlone/front-page debug

The console command is similar to the fg command, but it does not create a subprocess to start up Zope. This is useful for two use cases. First, the supervisor program, to supervise long running processes like a Zope, require the process not to fork away, so that supervisor can control it. Second, IDEs like WingIDE and PyCharm support debugging running processes from within. For this to work, the process should also not fork away.

Developing your own control script commands

Third-party distributions may add additional commands to the control script by installing a ‘plone.recipe.zope2instance.ctl’ entry point. For example, an egg called MyDist could include a module called mymodule with the following custom command:

def foo(self, *args)
    """Help message here"""
    print 'foo'

It would then install the foo method as a command for the control script using the following entry point configuration in setup.py:

entry_points="""
[plone.recipe.zope2instance.ctl]
foo = mymodule:foo
"""

This would allow invoking the foo method by running bin/instance foo (assuming the instance control script was installed by a buildout part called instance.) The entry point is invoked with the following parameters:

self

An instance of plone.recipe.zope2instance.ctl.AdjustedZopeCmd.

args

Any additional arguments that were passed on the command line.

Known issues

• the restart command will not function reliably if you run the buildout while the Zope instance is still running. In those cases, always use stop followed by start to restart the Zope instance.

• Add GitHub Actions to project. Run tests there in a matrix against Zope 4 and Zope 5, Windows and Linux, Python 27, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8. Testing Python 2.7 on Windows is skipped. Refactor tox test setup slightly, do not use tox on GitHub. Split up tests in smaller easier to maintain files. Fix tests to run on Windows without tocuhing the recipe code (the Windows code is not perfect right now, but it test are reflecting current state). This primary includes respecting path-handling (backslash vs slash), conditional instance generation and differences in wsgi configurations. Also resolves “unclosed files” warnings. Reflect Zope 5 and so Plone 6.0 support in trove classifiers. [jensens] (#150)

6.7.5 (2020-08-16)

6.3.0 (2019-07-06)

New features:

• Enable CHAMELEON_CACHE by default. See https://github.com/plone/Products.CMFPlone/issues/2898 [pbauer] (#118)

• Add support for Python 3.7 while dropping official support for Python 3.5. (#60)

Bug fixes:

• Make comments in zcml values work, even if not starting at the beginning of the line; before, we had a confusing error message. Fixes #46 [tobiasherp]

• Fixed serving Plone with WSGI when ZServer is also installed on Python 2. [davisagli]

• Remove path option from zope.conf generated when using WSGI as it is no longer understood. [icemac]

• Remove deprecation-warnings option from zope.conf generated when using WSGI as it is no longer understood. [davisagli]

6.0.0 (2018-11-08)

Breaking changes:

• For WSGI-based instances, generate a zdaemon-based instance script that works similarly to ZServer-based instances, instead of a script that only handles running the WSGI server. [davisagli]

Bug fixes:

• Super user password created on Python 3 can now be read by Zope.

• Fix WSGI initialization [tschorr]

• Move Recipe from __init__.py to a new module to get rid of the dependency on zc.recipe.egg in control scripts [tschorr]

4.2.20 (2016-03-29)

Fixes:

• Revert changes made on previous release. The way zopectl and this recipe handle commands is totally different. [gforcada]

4.2.19 (2016-02-15)

New:

• Handle commands registered for zopectl as well. Up to now they were handled but not displayed at all (i.e. in help and descriptions). https://github.com/plone/plone.recipe.zope2instance/issues/18 [gforcada]

4.2.18 (2015-07-27)

• Allow to disable logs. Set z2-log to the value disable to disable the Z2 access log. Set event-log to the value disable to disable the event log. [frapell]

4.2.17 (2015-04-29)

• Added zope-conf-imports option to easily import ZConfig components within zope.conf using %import syntax. [avoinea]

4.2.16 (2014-11-01)

• If ‘’demo-file-storage’ is set, but ‘demo-storage’ is off, do not raise an exception [frapell]

• Add documentation for console command, for supervisor and IDE debugging [do3cc]

4.2.15 (2014-09-07)

• Always wrap contents of zcml-additional with a <configure /> node. This makes it possible to use += assignments with zcml-additional. [lgraf]

• Add support for multiple zeo servers [ivant]

4.2.14 (2014-03-02)

• Link to zope.conf is now relativitize if option relative-paths is true. [bsuttor]

• Added ability to set initialization to configure Python code to run on instance start up. [davidjb]

• added support for http-header-max-length [alecghica]

4.2.13 (2013-07-28)

• adding support for zopectl umask [hman]

4.2.12 (2013-06-04)

• be able to set zeo client as read only from buildout configuration [vangheem]

4.2.11 (2013-05-23)

• When creating the blobstorage dir, make it only readable for the current user, otherwise you get a ZODB warning on startup. This uses code from the ZODB, which does the same when Zope starts up and the blobstorage directory does not exist yet. [maurits]

• Fixed check for empty custom_access_event_log and custom_event_log. [alecghica]

4.2.10 (2013-03-05)

• Recipe would fail if eggs are stored in readonly cache. Don’t copy permissions from the egg. [garbas]

4.2.9 (2013-02-10)

• Add trove classifiers to note Python version compatibility. [hannosch]

4.2.8 (2013-01-17)

• Pass python flags to Zope interpreter as well. This prevents the debug command from exiting directly. [wichert]

4.2.7 (2013-01-13)

• Load PYTHONSTARTUP if defined when running the debug command. [mj]

4.2.6 (2012-12-09)

• Use interpreter script instead of setting PYTHONPATH. Fixes Windows “the environment variable is longer than 32767 bytes” error. [rossp]

• Make the zope.conf http-server optional by setting http-address to an empty string. Useful for configurations used under an external server such as a WSGI deployment. [rossp]

4.2.5 (2012-09-20)

• Added event and access log rotation capability. [sureshvv]

4.2.4 (2012-08-29)

• Expose ‘drop-cache-rather-verify’ ZEO client option which indicates that the cache should be dropped rather than verified when the verification optimization is not available (e.g. when the ZEO server restarted). [runyaga]

• Strip all empty lines out of zeo.conf to provide more compact view. [runyaga]

4.2.3 (2012-08-04)

• Fix zcml load order of the optional locales directory. Translation overrides need to be loaded first. [sunew]

4.2.2 (2012-07-02)

• Changed client connection cache defaults. We specify a cache size of 30000 instead of 10000. [hvelarde]

• Add new locales option for specifying a locales directory with extra or different translations. [maurits]

4.2.1 (2012-04-15)

• Add control script debug and run support to set up a REQUEST, log in the AccessControl.SpecialUsers.system user, and traverse to an object, such as a CMF portal. [rpatterson]

4.2 (2011-11-24)

• Add support for a changes storage for demo storage (in addition to the base storage). Local file and blob storage is supported. [malthe]

• Add support for before storage (via the zc.beforestorage package). [malthe]

• Make script suppression optional (via empty scripts parameter). Otherwise, scripts for packages listed in eggs parameter will be generated. [aclark]

• Support all RelStorage options, even future options. Used a simple pattern to recognize where options should be placed: any option name containing a dash is a generic option; the rest (except “name”) are database-specific. [hathawsh]

4.1.9 - 2011-08-11

• No longer rely on softwarehome in startup script. [hannosch]

4.1.8 - 2011-07-17

• Add preliminary support for Zope 4.0, by re-using the skeleton for 2.13. [hannosch]

• Added zeo-client-blob-cache-size and zeo-client-blob-cache-size-check options to control maximum size of blob cache, and when to check the size, when using ClientStorage without shared blobs. [davidjb]

• If a resource directory is specified using resources, create it if it does not yet exist. [davisagli]

• Support the new create-schema option introduced in RelStorage 1.5.0b2. [mj]

4.1.7 - 2011-06-07

• Renamed the optional 998-resources.zcml (introduced in 4.1.6) to 998-resources-configure.zcml, otherwise it does not get loaded in the standard site.zcml. [maurits]

4.1.6 - 2011-06-01

• Add new resources option for specifying a plone.resource central resource directory. [elro]

4.1.5 - 2011-02-17

• Respect new include-site-packages buildout option introduced in buildout 1.5. Closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716360. [yuppie, hannosch]

• Added option import-directory to point to custom import folder. [garbas]

4.1.4 - 2011-01-01

• Removed zeo-client-name option. The option had no effect since ZODB 3.2 and was removed in Zope 2.13. This closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694920. [hannosch]

4.1.3 - 2010-12-20

• Added option http-force-connection-close which was only present in comment. [tesdal]

4.1.2 - 2010-12-05

• Fixed error introduced in 4.1.1. [hannosch]

4.1.1 - 2010-12-05

• Disambiguate the blob-storage option if shared-blob isn’t used. In this case we use var/blobcache as a default location, so we don’t accidentally overwrite the real blob data with a blob zeocache. Refs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645904. [hannosch]

4.1 - 2010-12-04

• Give the readme an overhaul, group options into sections and mention the most commonly used ones at the top. [hannosch]

• Add some flexibility to site.zcml creation. Thanks to Wolfgang Schnerring for the patch. This closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/335311. [hannosch]

• Raise an exception if both ZEO and RelStorage are configured at the same time. This closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/645100. [hannosch]

• Added support for zc.buildout 1.5, while retaining support for 1.4. Thanks to Jeff Rush for the patch. This closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/683584. [hannosch]

4.0.5 - 2010-10-22

• Added support for specifying the new RelStorage options shared-blob-dir, blob-cache-size, blob-cache-size-check, and blob-chunk-size. [hathawsh]

4.0.4 - 2010-09-09

• Add friendly error message if non-admin tries “instance install|start|restart|stop|remove”. [kleist]

• Exit with the return code of the executed do_* method. This closes #10906 (clicking “Restart” in ZMI control panel caused shutdown). [kleist]

• Implemented the “restart” command for “bin/instance.exe”. [kleist]

4.0.3 - 2010-08-20

• Setuptools / Subversion ignores empty directories and doesn’t include them into the source distribution. Added readme files to the bin and var directories inside the skeleton. This lets persistent ZEO caches work again, which want to put their files into the var directory. [hannosch]

4.0.2 - 2010-08-04

• Rewritten major parts of commands specific for the Windows Service, inspired by “collective.buildout.cluster.base.ClusterBase” as used by the Windows installer. Closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10860. [kleist]

4.0.1 - 2010-07-30

• Use pid file to check for running application, instead of service status. [sidnei]

4.0.0 - 2010-07-21

• “console” mode on Windows no longer returns immediately, thus makes it usable by the Windows Service. [kleist]

• Made tests compatible with Windows. [hannosch]

• Added support for specifying new RelStorage options cache-local-mb, cache-delta-size-limit, commit-lock-timeout and commit-lock-id. [hannosch]

4.0b2 - 2010-06-23

• Added a new dependency on mailinglogger and expose it as a convenient new option. [hannosch]

• Removed testing dependency on zope.testing and refactored test setup. [hannosch]

4.0b1 - 2010-04-04

• The recipe could sometimes fail to build twice if no zcml option was given. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10296. [hannosch]

4.0a4 - 2010-02-04

• Removed commented out options from the http-server section. [hannosch]

• Added new enable-product-installation option and let it default to off. [hannosch]

4.0a3 - 2010-01-24

• Tried to restore the Windows service functionality, getting closer but not there yet all the way. [hannosch]

• Use the same quoting approach for the console as for fg command on Windows. [hannosch]

• Don’t call zopectl.quote_command(), since the added outer double quotes caused subprocess.call() to fail with “WindowsError: [Error 87] The parameter is incorrect”. Instead, hand roll the quoting (save outer quotes). [kleist]

• Un-hardcoded ‘:’ as path separator, caused “ImportError: No module named Zope2.Startup” on Windows. See http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/9991. [kleist]

• Removed the import directory from the skeleton. You can place import files into the import directory in the client home in new Zope 2 versions. [hannosch, davisagli]

• Make it possible to omit the user option, in which case buildout will ask for a user and password, when a new instance is created. [hannosch]

• Use our own make instance script and skeletons, only providing what we really need anymore. [hannosch]

• Merge the two ZopeCmd classes into one. We don’t rely or generate the runzope script or anything inside parts/instance/bin anymore. [hannosch]

• By default create a blob-storage in var/blobstorage. [hannosch]

• Removed the no-shell option and made it the default for running the process. This also removes the need for the runzope script. [hannosch]

• This version can no longer be used to install a non-eggified Zope2. The zope2-location option was removed. [hannosch]

4.0a2 - 2009-12-02

• Make it possible for third-party packages to add additional commands to the control script by supplying a ‘plone.recipe.zope2instance.ctl’ entry point. [davisagli]

4.0a1 - 2009-11-14

• Removed the test command support from the control script which lets us remove quite a bit of hackery. Added a note about using bin/test instead. [hannosch]

• Added an explicit python-check-interval option and change its default to 1000 instead of Python’s own default of 100. [hannosch]

• Changed default zserver-threads to two instead of four. [hannosch]

• Changed client connection cache defaults. We specify a cache size of 10000 instead of 5000. Also changed ZEO client cache to 128MB instead of 30MB. [hannosch]

• If we are used in an environment with Zope2 as an egg, we make sure to install the mkzopeinstance and runzope scripts we depend on ourselves. This is done even if they already exist, since the eggs may have changed. [hannosch, davisagli]

• Added Zope2 egg to the list of dependencies of this recipe. This can cause trouble for Zope versions before Zope 2.12 or Plone before 4.0. [hannosch]

• Added the cache-prefix option for RelStorage.

3.6 (2009-10-11)

• Expanded the RelStorage options, including keep-history and replica-conf. [hathawsh]

3.5 (2009-09-05)

• Added support for relative-paths in the script generation. [jvloothuis]

• When zope-conf is set the config file will be directly loaded from that location (it previously created a stub zope.conf which included it). [jvloothuis]

• Added an option to avoid using the normal shell scripts for starting Zope. This makes it possible to avoid the hard-coded paths in these scripts. [jvloothuis]

• Allow the blob-dir parameter in RelStorage configurations. [hathawsh]

3.4 (2009-08-12)

• Support in line with fix for LP#407916. [gotcha]

• Changed the ‘mkzopeinstance’ call respect the ‘bin-directory’ option. [esteele]

• Removed the zope2-egg option and the simple startup script from the recipe. We assume that we have an egg distribution if zope2-location is not set. [hannosch]

• Merged the davisagli-eggified-zope branch into the trunk. [hannosch]

• Add a new icp-address option. This is useful for environments where e.g. squid is used to front a Zope/ZEO cluster. See http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/icp/intro [neaj]

3.3 - 2009-07-07

• Add handling for RelStorage options. [elro]

• Reinstall scripts on update which appears to be good recipe practice. [stefan]

3.2 - 2009-04-02

• Add a new zcml-additional option. This is useful for environments where non-code configuration (such as database connection details for ore.contentmirror) are managed through zcml. [wichert]

3.1 (2009-03-15)

• The 2.9 fix for spaces caused a problem using debug (bug 337740) due to the way do_debug passed the “-i” command line argument to get_startup_cmd. [smcmahon]

3.0 (2009-02-27)

• The 2.9 fix for the instance run command was itself broken and would fail on anything except Windows. [smcmahon]

• Changed the zope2-egg option to omit any kind of instance creation for now. The mkzopeinstance script relies on being able to import Zope2, which is not available when buildout runs. [hannosch]

2.9 (2009-02-26)

• The instance run command was vulnerable to spaces in pathnames, and needed some extra quoting for win32. [smcmahon]

• Check for existence of windows scripts before patching them. Some Linux distributions of Zope2 don’t have these files. [smcmahon]

• Delegate commands to win32serviceutil.HandleCommand() on win32, instead of starting the interpreter through os.system(). Should shave off a couple seconds from overall time taken to process those commands. [sidnei]

• Compute serviceClassString ourselves, since we are calling this as a module and not directly as __main__, otherwise the service won’t be installed correctly. [sidnei]

2.8 (2008-12-05)

• Add more tests for ZEO client with blob and demo storages. Still no test on ‘shared-blob-dir’ option. [encolpe]

• Always use ‘r’-style strings for passing script and configuration filenames (eg: on ‘instance run <script>’). [sidnei]

• Add a demo-storage option and tests. [encolpe]

• Add a first test for blob-storage. [encolpe]

2.7 (2008-11-18)

• Added a zope2-egg option and an accompanying simple startup script for use with an eggified Zope2. [hannosch]

• Do not fail with a Zope2 egg checkout. [hannosch]

• Normalize first argument to os.spawnl. It can get really upset otherwise (dll import failure on a relocatable python install). [sidnei]

• Use same quoting as on ‘do_foreground’ for servicescript usage. Fixes problems with installing the buildout-based Plone installer for Windows on a path with spaces. [sidnei]

• Ensure that do_foreground leaves self.options.program arguments as it found them. This makes it possible to use ‘fg’ and ‘debug’ more than once within the same control session. [klm]

2.6 (2008-10-22)

• Normalize, absolutize and lowercase-ize (is that a word?) paths before comparing, to avoid problems with relative filenames and different drive letter case on Windows. [sidnei]

2.5 (2008-09-22)

• Add support for zodb-cache-size-bytes from ZODB 3.9 and later. [wichert]

2.4 (2008-07-15)

• Introduced zope.conf variables “INSTANCEHOME” and “CLIENTHOME”. Its very very helpful in cluster setups with zope-conf-additional sections (buildout lacks to reference the current section). [jensens]

• Made test command compatible with zope.testing 3.6. [hannosch]

2.3.1 (2008-06-10)

• No code changes. Released to fix the 2.3 release which put .egg files in the wild. [hannosch]

2.3 (2008-06-06)

• Need to actually pass in deprecation-warnings, otherwise we get a KeyError. [sidnei]

• Fix another place where the directory name needed to be escaped to avoid problems with spaces. [sidnei]

• Don’t try to delete location if it does not exist. [sidnei]

2.2 (2008-06-06)

• Added deprecation-warnings option that allows turning the option to disable deprecation warnings on or off. You can provide the value error to it, and every deprecation warning will be turned into an exception. [sidnei]

• Fix copy and paste error that caused a failure on changing runzope.bat to call servicewrapper.py. [sidnei]

• Escape ‘executable’ argument before passing it to os.spawnl, in order to make it work on Windows when the executable name has spaces on it. [sidnei]

• Added http-fast-listen option. Use of this option requires Zope >= 2.11. [stefan]

2.1 (2008-06-05)

• Fixed a test problem on Windows, where explicit closing of files is required. [hannosch]

• Call servicewrapper.py from runzope.bat instead of setting PYTHONPATH and calling Zope2/Startup/run.py. That way we set sys.path from inside Python code and avoid exceeding the maximum environment variable limit. [sidnei]

• Allow to use an alternative temporary storage, by specifying the new zodb-temporary-storage option. [jensens]

• Added environment-vars option to set environment variables. Changed the zope-conf-additional example code to something that isn’t covered by the recipe. [claytron]

2.0 (2008-05-29)

• Do not use system but exec when starting Zope. This makes it possible for process management tools to properly manage Zope processes. [wichert]

• Added site-zcml option Added tests [mustapha]

• Add support for ZEO authentication. Note that this does not work with any released Zope or ZODB version at this moment. See http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-October/161951.html for required patches. [wichert]

• Added FTP and WebDAV options [claytron]

• Allow rel-storage to be an empty string, meaning ‘do not use relstorage’. This allows an extending buildout configuration to disable relstorage again. [mj]

1.9 (2008-04-15)

• Fix rel-storage parsing for options with spaces. Note that split() or split(None) already strips the string. [mj]

1.8 (2008-04-05)

• Fixed a Win32 problem in which the presence of Python string escapes in the path to zope.conf (e.g., d:botestpartsinstanceetczope.conf would escape the b). This showed up when using the ‘run’, ‘debug’ or ‘adduser’ commands. This fixes #211416. [smcmahon]

• Added console command to the instance script, which is equivalent to fg but does not implicitly turn on debug mode but respects the zope.conf setting. [hannosch]

1.7 (2008-03-31)

• Added new client-home option and let it default to a subfolder of the buildout-wide var folder with a subfolder of the name of the section. [hannosch]

• Added limited support for running tests under Zope <= 2.8. [hannosch]

1.6 (2008-03-27)

• Fixed runzope script generation for Zope 2.8. [hannosch]

• Cleaned up “./bin/instance test” option handling. [stefan]

• Removed generator expressions as these aren’t supported in < py2.4, which is used by zope 2.7/8. [duffyd]

1.5 (2008-02-29)

• Added access-log-custom option to be able to use another event logger than the file one for the access logger. [tarek]

• Fix instance generation to work on Windows with blanks in the path name. This closes #188023. [hannosch, gotti]

• Added ‘zeo-client-client’ option which results in ‘client <value>’ inside <zeoclient>. [timte, hannosch]

• Made relstorage handling more generic, so it now supports any RelStorage adapter, including Oracle (which was broken). [mj]

1.4 (2008-02-23)

• Fix typo in event log parameter name (from “z-log” to “z2-log”), to comply with the documentation. This closes #190943. [kdeldycke]

• Create pid and lock file folders if they don’t exist. [kdeldycke]

• Remove hard-coded log level and use the event_log_level parameter to set it dynamically. This closes #190994. [kdeldycke]

• Added a test environment, using zc.buildout.testing, and a doctest that tries the recipe. [tarek]

• Added an event-log-custom option [tarek]

• Added example for the zope-conf-additional option. This closes #185539. [klm, hannosch]

• Added rel-storage option to be able to wire Zope to RelStorage (postgresql/oracle) instead of a FileStorage database. [tarek]

1.3

• For each entry in recipe-specified ‘extra-paths’ line, add a ‘path’ line to the instance and Zope client zope.conf files. [klm]

1.2

• Added the boolean shared-blob option, defaulting to no. If all of zeo-client, blob-storage and shared-blob options are set, the instance will assume the blob directory set by blob-storage is shared with the server instead of streaming ‘blob’ files through the ZEO connection. [rochael]

• Changed ctl.do_foreground() (which is invoked by the fg command line argument) start Zope in debug mode to emulate the behavior of zopectl fg. This required a little special WIN32 code to make sure it would work in both *nix and Windows. [smcmahon]

• Added var option, which is used to configure the base directory for all the things going into var. [hannosch]

• Added zeo-var option, which is used in the zeo storage snippets to configure the zeo var folder. [hannosch]

• Merged rochael-blobsupport branch. Added support for ZODB 3.8 blob storage configuration for ZEO clients. This references https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/179113. [rochael, hannosch]

• Added zeo-client-name option. Defaults to the name of the ZEO client. [hannosch]

1.1

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

• Changed default of zope.conf option ‘default-zpublisher-encoding’ to ‘utf-8’ instead of Zope’s default value of ‘iso-8859-15’.

• 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, mustapha]

1.0

• Increased ‘zodb_cache_size’ default value to 5000, which is more likely a better default these days. [hannosch]

• Added support for ‘extra-paths’ as in ‘zc.recipe.egg’; this is useful when using regular python packages for which no eggs are available (yet), i.e. with ‘plone.recipe.distros’. [witsch]

• Added zeo-storage option (merge branch ree-add-zeo-storage-option). [ree]

• Avoid doubled entries to eggs specified in the buildout in ‘sys.path’: the working set (‘ws’) gets passed again when installing the script (‘bin/instance’), but it is not also added to ‘extra_paths’. [witsch]

• Patching ‘PYTHONPATH’ in the Zope startup skripts should insert all additional paths (to eggs) __before__ ‘SOFTWARE_HOME’, because otherwise (newer) egg versions of components from the standard Zope distribution (i.e. stuff that lives in ‘lib/python’) cannot be used. [witsch]

• Changed the option to suppress deprecation warnings to “–nowarn” or ‘–nowarning” to be consistent with “zopectl test”. [witsch]

• Added option “-w” to allow the test runner to suppress deprecation warnings, so it’s easier to spot failing tests… [witsch]

• Updated import for Zope 2.7 (and below) compatibility. [duffyd]

• Merging -r51966:52659 claytron-zopeconfoptions branch to trunk. [claytron]

• Made the config snippet prettier while still getting the resulting indentation right. [witsch]

0.9

• Added support for zodb 3.8’s “<blobstorage>” directive. [witsch]

• Added a script name arg before callint zope.testing.testrunner.run. zope.testing.testrunner:1772, get_options removes the first arg from the list of arguments expecting a script name there. Was causing “bin/instance test” to behave improperly. [rossp]

0.8

• Use bin if present falling back to utilities. This makes it possible to use a Zope version installed from a tarball and not compiled inplace. [rossp]

0.7

• Found the problem with strange environment variables. [hannosch]

• Fixed documentation bug, the cache size is respected by non-zeo instance as well. [hannosch]

0.6

• J1m actually read the docs ;) [hannosch]

• Attempt to fix the sometimes insane number of tests which are found by the test runner. [hannosch]

0.5

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

0.4

• Generate a bin/repozo script to perform backups using repozo.py (and set up the appropriate pythonpath for this to work). [optilude]

• Document options properly, and add the ability to specify a zope.conf file explicitly rather than having one generated from a template. [optilude]

0.3

• Finally found a way to provide the Zope Windows service with the right environment. We need a new wrapper script, which sets up the PYTHONPATH. [hannosch]

• Make it possible to configure the name of the zopectl script using the control-script option in the [instance] section. [wichert]

0.2

• Extend support for zcml slugs to include Zope 2.9. [dunny]

• Added support for making a ZEO-client. [regebro]

0.1

• Initial implementation. [hannosch]
