Hi I need to quote for a fairly big Zope site and I am trying to work out what sort of spec machine I will need for hosting. The brief is for a minimum of 50 concurrent users, rising to a possible 2000. They will be doing a lot of searching on the site, and there will be quite a lot of e-mails sent out by Zope. The site will also use an SQL database - either mySQL or postgreSQL. My current thinking is: - Linux: RedHat? - Zope with ZEO in case it expands beyond one box - Apache - Squid? - 512 MB RAM - 18 GB SCSI with RAID - 1.8 GHZ processor Am I along the right lines? Will Zope coexist nicely with the database on the same box or should they be separate from day one? Cheers Tom
