[zorp] Policy.py gives errors

[Matt Hackett]

Ah, thanks for the flag to give a traceback of the error. After running =
with the "-l" flag I found several errors in my policy.py: in three =
places I had Listen(...) instead of Listener(...), and there was a type =
mismatch because I used quotes around port numbers in many places. Now =
that I've fixed these, Zorp is working fine.

It would be nice in future versions to have zorp/zorpctl give an error =
message such as "Parse error in policy file: /etc/zorp/policy.py:8: =
<error message here>", such as Apache and other config-file based =
daemons do, to make debugging bad policy files less complicated.

Thanks for the help,

Because of this you get problems when you try to run policy.py outside =
of
Zorp.

No. It's coming from codes written in C.

Try to run zorp like this:

/usr/lib/zorp/zorp --as internal_out --policy /etc/zorp/policy.py -v3 -l

Of course change the path of zorp and policy.py to correct value.

And send result to me please.=20
