I have to admit that I'm a bit confused about pcgi these days. The most recent documentation for it was last updated in August, 1998, and it still refers to Bobo and Principia.
Now that we have Zope, is pcgi now intimately bundled with it, never to emerge on its own again? Or is there a way to run pcgi without Zope?
Lloyd, PCGI is a tiny, yet integral part of Zope for some set of Zope applications, esp. where a web server front-end (e.g. Apache) is desired. It is possible to run Zope without PCGI (e.g. internal network, a.k.a. buzzword: 'intranet'). It is also possible to use PCGI without Zope. The pcgitest example is provided to test and demonstrate a free-standing PCGI application. And yet another alternative is to use PCGI with Zope components (ZPublisher, DocumentTemplate, BoboPOS) to build custom solutions. the-tyranny-of-choice-prevails-ly yr's Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc. P.S. A couple weeks ago I posted a message describing a new version of pcgi_publisher that would include an inactivity timer, i.e. would shutdown the LRP automatically after a specified period of inactivity. I think some people may find such a feature useful for custom PCGI apps. -JB
