yes... this works... but I want the automatic restart feature with pcgi...
This time I'd say "don't do this". PCGI restarts Zope in single-threaded mode, while ZServer is multithreded (i.e., much faster).
I admit I don't have the most scientific reasons for not using pcgi. So I could be way off the mark. But here's my understanding: - it's less flexible if you want to do any virtual serving - if you go for the VHM / rewrite route, there's less configuration to do: a single rewrite rule in your server context in httpd.conf - you don't get things like the ftp port and the webdav source port with pcgi, i believe (?) - why give yourself the extra overhead of starting a new wrapper process every time you want to connect to Zope? - AFAIK, even the people who developed pcgi in the first place (i.e. ZC) don't use it any more. It would be good to know if (a) I am right, and (b) if so, why not. Finally, let me turn the question around: why *should* you use pcgi? I'm not saying using pcgi is wrong, but I am saying I think it's easier and possibly faster to do it the rewrite rule / SiteAccess way. I also think you'll get more community support, since I get the impression more people do it that way. hth seb seb
