Testing Zope Products with Python Debugger
I've read the various tutorials and have successfully used Zope with the Python debugger. But, of course, I can't have my production Zope running and the debugger running at the same time unless I get Zeo going. But is there another way? Is it possible to start Zope in the debugger but have it open a different data.fs file for testing? (I only have one computer and have to keep a small, Zope-driven web site running 24/7 as well as do development on a new Zope Database Adapter.) I've looked into the Zeo How-To and feel a little overwhelmed. And I suspect it is probably asking a bit too much of one Celeron 400 with Windows 98 to have all that running. What do you think? (Sorry, but "get Linux" or "get another computer" would be great, but aren't on my immediate horizon.) Thanks, Bill ---------- "The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart.

Just install a second Zope and have it running from an other Port. The Product you are developping ypu put in an extra direcory. start.bat for both versions have to be adapted as follows: add a line like the following: set PRODUCTS_PATH=g:\projects\redModules;k:\programme\zope\lib\python\Products; As you can see the PRODUCTS_PATH environment setting points to your shared product directory and the product directory the Zope product path. To one of the Start.bat's add a -P 9000 (or whatever port-range you wish) flag Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Trenker" <wtrenker@shaw.ca> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 5:32 AM Subject: [Zope-dev] Testing Zope Products with Python Debugger

I would quite simply reccomend you to not in any way do development on your production site. Install another site where you do development. It's not a problem.

I do all my development on a Pentium 233 with 64MB memory. :-) A 400MHz Celeron will do nicely.

You don't even have to install a second zope. Just use an INSTANCE_HOME setup to start zope with a different port and different Data.fs. --RDM

One Zope using a ZEO server on the same machine is going to take only marginally more resources than a non-ZEO Zope alone. Two Zopes using one ZEO server is going to use less resources than two Zopes not using ZEO.

No need. Windows 98 is more than adequate. The only thing you might be short of is memory. You could try: 1. Removing any unnecessary products. 2. Reducing the size of the zodb memory cache using Control Panel. 3. Reducing the number of publisher threads using the -t command line switch. (each thread gets its own memory cache) 4. Upgrading to the current CVS of Zope (which is more strict about sticking to the cache size limits, and more efficient with a small cache ) 5. get some more memory.
You might be able to use the medusa monitor client. (ZServer/medusa/monitor_client.py). This requires that you have an "access" file in your Zope's software home. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Trenker" <wtrenker@shaw.ca> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 11:32 PM Subject: [Zope-dev] Testing Zope Products with Python Debugger
