I did setup my first Zope server accessed via Apache and PCGI some minutes ago, and I think now I understand how pcgi works. As far as I understood PCGI supports only an architecture where the ZServer runs on the same host as Apache. PCGI currently does not support INET sockets. Is this true? Did anyone manage to set up a Zope system with a remote Apache server?
That is so. You can put Apache and Zope on different machines by using Apache's proxy or rewrite modules, or you can look into FastCGI which is much like PCGI but doesn't cost a fork() and can use a tcp port to communicate with Zope, allowing you to move it to another machine. Mike.
