We have been running Zope on Windows for about a year. Works fine for while but we experiences load issues with it behind Apache. So we switched to straight up ZServer. This worked fine for awhile and now we are experiencing major load that way. So I installed Cygwin and Setup a Squid Accelerator and it is working faster than ever. Zope is still a little slow sometimes in the management interface but otherwise the content is delivered quickly to our customers. That is what is important. That all said we will be moving to a Linux environment in a few Weeks. SR At 08:39 AM 10/30/2001 -0800, Andy McKay wrote:

The administrator's main contention is that it is open source, unsupported and my attempt to lock them into a unix-centric platform; something that will work fine under "unix" but Windows is an after-thought.
Lol :)
Seriously though the Windows version of Zope sometimes does lack a little. PCGI is just a horrible hideous solution that I threw out after playing around with it and just ran Zope on another port.
I was looking around for a solution to this and what we really need is an ISAPI filter that does proxying. In a similar manner to the one for BeaLogic server, http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/isapi.html this just proxies everything off to Zope. Of course this takes time to develop and no-one I know of so far has worked on it.
Heres an off the wall solution, use ASP to call Zope. http://www.wc.cc.va.us/dtod/zope/ Not a great idea for a high performance site.. . In the end I just used Apache on Windows or ZServer straight.
