A few related beginner's questions on this topic: When Zope is run together with apache, does that necessarily mean that it is being run as a CGI? When Zope is configured for CGI operation, does that mean that each hit on the site causes a Zope startup, opening of database files, etc., or does Zope still run as a server answer queries from CGI scripts? Finally, Does anybody know if it is possible to run Zope on a Verio VPS? (This is a virtual private server - basically a shell account with the ability to edit one's own httpd.conf to create multiple virtual hosts. No root access.)
