...forgive me if I bother you. what would Apache do better if I have no files served outside of Zope? I thought that I'd need apache only if I have files to serve that are not "passing" through Zope.Am I wrong? Fabio For At 17:12 31-03-03 Monday, you wrote:
I would use ExtFile for the PDFs, Apache in front and ZEO for failure.
1 GHz + Pentiums, 1 GB of RAM (Zope/Python love RAM,) SCSI drives in RAID.

First of all thank you a lot for you attention. I'm quite new to Zope so it is still difficoult to understand how it will work when the system will be deployed. We need to size the system for (all values are the absolute maximumwe expect) 10.000 authenticated users, 10.000 documents (5000 pdf with 200 Kb average size, and 500 html), 1000 hits/minute. Do you think we can use Zope alone (no ZEO, no Apache)? Does the server's hardware need to carry anything special? Thank you.
Hardware is up to you and what you need. You can run it on almost anything, but if you are going to run http://www.cbsnewyork.com you will need more (I think I read that all the sites combined in that Zope installation run on 48 dual proc linux boxes).
that's way off (it's less). maybe i'll ask the boss-man today to see if i am allowed to publish some real figures in a document somewhere.
