Hello,
I apologize if this is a FAQ, I could not find the answer.
I would like to put a 120MB file into ZDB and it is constantly failing.
TTW insert file fails but works on smaller fails.
WebDAV fails but works on smaller files.
Plus FTP fails having activate it as a last resort.
My environment is FreeBSD 6 with current Zope, Python 2.3.x and a
/tmp directory of 256MB I noticed once that this could cause this
failure.
Any suggestions?
I do have the file on the S's filesystem but I see that the object
"import" only applies to ZDB-ready files.
Appreciated,
Michael

You could always:

zopectl debug

filedata=open("fileystempath/to/your/file")

("fileid",filedata)

import transaction
transaction.get().commit()

use the uploader in the attachment (lets see if
it goes thru the list) like this:

/bin/zopectl run fileimport.py bigfile /path/in/zope/

Hello,

I found the source of my problem uploading a large file to ZDB over
DAV and an a workaround that shouldn't have worked but worked. For
those who are interested:

For completeness:

Correct Dieter, I was vague but it indeed would progress and then
fail. Goliath, a mac web dav client, would report "Unknown connection
error" and the Finder would report " cannot be completed one or
more required items not found (error code -43) I apologize that I am
not familiar with Zope's traceback.

Thank you to Tino for providing a script to copy files into ZDB.
This solves a few other issues.

So. I knew to watch my /tmp directory and it was not being used. It
turns out that Python (presumably, not Zope) was using /var/tmp (over
RAM, given that large-file-threshold in zope.conf was lower than
120MB).

I linked /var/tmp to /tmp and oddly it started using /usr/? but at
least it worked because there was more than 120MB available there. I
am not quite sure where it ended up putting it. (seemingly not /var
in the zope instance)

The solution appears to be that python can use the TMPDIR variable to
specify where tmp should default to (reportedly it will try various
locations) but, I am not clear how I can add this to Zope's rc script
to declare it. I tried it as simply setting the environment variable
"set TMPDIR=/tmp" but that gave warnings about the startup logic.

1. Should TMPDIR work?
2. Where should I declare it when using rc scripts?
3. Any chance zope.conf can use it?

Appreciated,

Michael.

zope.conf has a directive "environment" for exactly that purpose.
