Hi: Basic installation is real simple: Download, unzip (or untar) and run the install script. You can even do it in your own Win machine, don't need to wait 'til your server is colocated. Do the tutorial, it will help you get started. I am newbie myself, but that should get you started. When you have the colocated servers, you will have to use VHM to run the virtual servers, and configure your httpd.conf, but that's something your SysAdmin will have to do. There's a lot of howto's on the subject. What takes time is developing your app, which will depend on its complexity.HTH. Regards, Jorge M. Fearless Froggie wrote:
Hi,
I'm trying to plan out what content management system we should be going with and I really like what zope has to offer. I've gone through the zope site in great detail, and googled till my eyes are ready it fall out, but I'm not a sys admin so there are a couple of really basic questions I really haven't been able to get my head around.
Some time in the next few months we will be getting a colocated server to run our websites on, and I'm wondering what the best way to install zope would be. Most of the server will be taken up by webct (a web-based program used to serve educational courses over the net), and I'd like to install zope along side it to run 4-5 other websites.
Would I be able to install a separate instance of zope for each website, or should I be installing one instance of zope and simply point the IP address to different sections of the directory tree?
I know the ISP that currently hosts our websites has multiple instances of apache installed under solaris. I assume that multiple instances of apached, zope, etc can also be installed under Linux?
We'll have a real sys admin to install everything on our live server, but I need to install zope now on a test server and I'd like to set it up the same way as it'll be set up later when its live.
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm trying to make the initial install stage as painless as possible. Trial and error is an amazing learning tool, but my head's already a bit sore from banging it against wall. I'm hoping to get to the interesting programming/planning part as soon as possible :)
Thanks!
