One programming note: within the next month we'll check in the work for FastCGI, meaning you can sit behind Apache and not pay the fork tax.
Please excuse my ignorance here, and not wishing to take too much of your precious time Paul, but why use FastCGI ? wasn't PCGI supposed to be even better or have I been brainwashed by spending too long on Mr Bauer's homepage ?
PCGI is simpler. At the time we needed something like FastCGI, it just wasn't stable enough or had much support. PCGI was a simple solution to the problem, at the cost of some performance. Recently, FCGI support has been added to Apache and is aparently pretty stable. Robin Dunn has since implimented FCGI into Zope. This will be released soon. FCGI does not incur the overhead of a fork() call. -Michel
