yeh, zope needs to be up and running if you want to hit it through a proxy such as a apache. the way i do my zope server is i run it on one port and then proxy it out via apache via mod_rewrite and mod_proxy. works like a charm.
Thanks. I now have it working: sudo -u apache ./start -a 127.0.0.1 The -a is necessary for me because I probably don't have my network setup correctly.
if you are on linux (i'm not), then you'll probably want to start it up via a start script in /etc/rc.d/init.d or rc.local. i use bsd* and don't remember the details. you can also start your zope manually from the command line if you just want to make sure your proxying is working prior to adding it to the startup files.
Yes, I'll be looking to see if someone else has contributed an /etc/init.d/ script. Is it just me, or is there a billion slightly different documentations for getting Zope running under Apache? Cheers, // mark -
