- Running Zope in Debug Mode
-
- If you wish to run Zope in debug mode, use the -D command line
- switch. This will have the following effect::
-
- o On UNIX, Zope will not detach from the controlling terminal.
-
- o Zope will print logging information to standard error.
-
- o The Z_DEBUG_MODE environment variable gets set, which causes some
- other cool stuff in Zope to happen.
-
- Using the Medusa Monitor
-
- If you're running ZServer with a medusa monitor port, you can
- connect and interact via a python prompt with a running Zope
- session, while others interact with it over the web.
-
- Some constraints:
-
- o You must connect to a server running on the local host.
-
- o You must authenticate as superuser.
-
- o At the time of writing the superuser password (in the access
- file) must be plain text, not encrypted.
-
- To use the monitor, start it from the shell prompt like so (as if
- from the Zope root; must be python 1.5.2 or later):
-
- python ZServer/medusa/monitor_client.py localhost 8099
-
- You'll get back a python prompt. To connect with the running Zope
- session:
-
- >>> import Zope
- >>> app = Zope.app()
- >>> dir(app.Control_Panel.Products)
- ['ExternalMethod', 'MIMETools', 'MailHost', 'OFSP', 'ZCatalog',
- 'ZGadflyDA', 'ZSQLMethods', '_objects']
- >>>
-
- To see ODB changes effected via the web since you got the app, you
- may have to do a bit of magic:
-
- >>> app._p_jar.sync()
-
- To commit changes you make, before exiting, you may have to do
- another bit of magic:
-
- >>> get_transaction().commit()
-
