<...snip...>
First, am I really the first person to try running CGI scripts from ZServer? I have found some hints here and there of people doing somewhat similar things, but I haven't yet found a product for easily adding legacy CGI scripts to a Zope site. It seems most people run Zope behind Apache. Is ZServer really slow or buggy or something?
<...other good stuff snipped...> I have a similar question. I am planning and building a site in which about 50% of the content needs to be accessed using SSL only (it's personal information and we are using 128-bit SSL). Since I am only the database&web-guy and not a sysadmin-guy (yet :), I had one of my colleagues configure Apache and Zope using the "Apache & ZServer" how to. This works well and Apache serves Zope pretty well and we can even use SSL (there are some issues to be resolved that I suspect are due to misconfiguration on our server). However, I can always access Zope directly using port 8080 (or whatever port where ZServer is listening to) without SSL. This is aboviously not the intended behaviour. Is there a way to prevent this? I know there is ZServerSSL but isn't the whole point of using Apache that it is a better and more robust web-server than Zserver? (apart from the fact that we need to serve a lot of static content as well). What are the main resons for serving Zope behind Apache?
