Is there a preferred location for a Zope instance?
If you are on FreeBSD, read the hier manpage ("hier -- layout of file systems")
I'm not on *BSD but I would prefer to use the file system layout which it recommends. Since I don't have access to the document you mention, could you say where Zope should be installed on *BSD and where Zope instances should be created?
the application itself should go under /usr/local (the FreeBSD port uses /usr/local/www/Zope but I prefer /usr/local/zope (stil using the port, but with an edited /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf for all zope and plone related ports)) The data is another issue. The hier manpage is not very clear about this and I think it depends on how you maintain your system. On a system with one site on it, putting it under /usr/local/zope/myinstance would be a logical place to find it. But if multiple different users maintain their own sites on the same server it could be under their home directory: /usr/home/username/zope In other environments where home directories might be mounted from different sources than directories with website content it can be something like /usr/local/www/www.mysite.com/zope /opt does not exist in (Free)BSD land. -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen reinoud.v@n.leeuwen.net http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________
