hello guys and gals, i have both zope and postgres installed, and would like to know how to establish a connection with each other... if anyone can point me to some really good online docs, that would be really cool... btw... the links for zdp.zope.org weren't working for me... -Samir

ZServer, because it is based on Medusa, will serve all of the same content that medusa will, but if I want to serve that content outside of the Zope framework, then I need to contact Sam for licensing right? I don't however need a ZServer instance running separately from a Medusa instance like if I was using Apache and ZServer together right? Or do I? Thanks, Jason

It is not supported by us but I'm sure it would work fine with ZServer. See the medusa site for more info http://www.nightmare.com/ -Michel

What about compared to Apache with the Python plugin? (I'm pretty sure there is such a thing, I just can't find the name of it right now....). Obviously that ignore the complexity of your vanilla-Python app, but it's not unreasonable to recognize that a typical website will have a mix of - static pages - pages with some relatively simple SSI logic - some pages which could be generated by medium-complexity Python code - and maybe some stuff that really takes advantage of Zope. Getting a sense of the rough performance comparisons in each case would be very helpful. (And if there's a better configuration for certain cases, like use Medusa instead of Apache, that would get bonus points.)

Some nebulous number that I can invent for your statistical pleasure. Quite honestly you've asked a question which has no answer. Zope2 is slower. But not if you compare CGI v. Zope. Zope2 is a 100% dynamic page generation situation, whereas Apache is only serving static pages. So if you're site is 100% static, use Apache, but as it gets more dynamic, I think you'll find Zope2 to be faster and faster. Performance on a "mid size" Linux box would be 35-50 hits/second (which translates to 3.8M hits/day). > Can the webserver be used in productionenvironment? > How much load can it take compared to Apache before I need > to upgrade hw? The same? Half? Double? Do you understand the unanswerable nature of your question? The only benchmark that matters is your own application.

Talking of which, where is the Zope.cgi file in the 2.0 betas ? I can't find this file on Windows installation (I think Zope 1.x used to install it automatically) thought the document WEBSERVERS.txt says it is installed with the Zope package.

Dear people from ZOPE, I'd like to try your genius software. Therefore I need the nscgi-auth.dll file. Amos Latteier from Digicool said, they don't have it. do you know, where I can get it?

I'm afraid that we don't provide a precompilied version for windows. In addition, this patch is unsupported. Sorry. You may wish to ask on the Zope list (zope(a)zope.org) Good luck! -Amos P.S. You may wish to look into using ZServer which comes with Zope and/or Apache.

ZServer, PCGI would probably be 1/4 that, due to overhead of exec() . We're working on other options, but it'll take time.

Which Version to Take
by Bernhard Neßler 31 Aug '99

31 Aug '99

Hallo I'm very new with Zope, I have installed Zope 2.5 at Windows than at Linux. I have make some simple test's. I'm also use mysql, until now I have no greater problems. Now my question, which Version should I take for the first "real" Sites? Can I take a beta or should I take the last stable release: Zope 1.10.3. How difficult will be the update?
