Just subscribed to my list and shooting my first question!
Welcome.
Since i have a new project comming up, involving a huge pan-european site, i'm thinking about starting with zope
Excellent choice. :-)
, however, my site is hosted with a ISP (hostrocket.com). An inhouse dedicated server could be possible within the next 2 years. Can i install and use zope without having root access to the server?
Yes and no. The only reason you need root access is to start Zope on port 80. However, you may not *want* your web site hosted on a port like 8080 and furthermore that port may be blocked by the ISP's firewall. Assuming you already have Apache and are able to configure it, you can get Apache to function as a reverse proxy for the Zope instance running on a non-privileged port. This is an excellent solution that requires no greater privileges than you probably already have. HTH, Dylan
