Hello,
I'm pretty new to Zope (even newer to Zope on Linux) and I'm having a few problems getting it installed and running properly.
I've successfully installed and run Zope, but to achieve as a non-root user, I must install Zope and an instance in my '~' directory. This is great, but I do need to be able to run Zope at port 80. As a side note, many of the docs on Zope.org treat doing this as a minor issue, and seem to promote the idea of running it at 8080. I'm a little confused by this. I understand that this has some security advantages, but I don't understand why anyone would do this under normal circumstances. I mean, no one goes to www.blah.net:8080
Pardon me if I'm being ignorant, but I would think this would be the exception, rather than rule. Zope.org gives me the impression that 8080 is (or should be) the rule.
- it is not recommended to install and run Zope as root. - if you install and run it as zope, you have to adjust the user settings in etc/zope.conf - don't run Zope as server on the internet *without* any reverse proxy like squid or apache -aj
