Oops, I stand corrected. But Zope 2.7 does include ZEO!

Very good! But in that case, shouldn't the new Zope 2.7 install and startup stuff support it?

Well, in a typical installation, you won't be running ZEO on the same machine as Zope, right?

hm... I wonder if this wold be a common case if ZEO was included as a integral part of Zope. I may be wrong, bur aren't there benefits of running ZEO even on a single machine (i.e. stability and/or redundancy)? I know I allready now could need the functionality of ZEO on a single machine (and I am about to use ZEO as soon as I fix some non-ZEO-able issues in our app).

ZEO has its own install and config stuff, which is very similar to that for Zope, but ZEO is not installed as part of the main Zope install.

I thought you had to install ZEO on top/inside of an existing Zope installation. Will this be different in Zope 2.7? Thanks, /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen, IT Systems & Services Chalmers University of Tech.
