Hi Jack, I know it's sorta confusing. ZServer *is* doing pcgi. In my experience you get a little better performance using ProxyPass, but it's not a huge effect (no.. I haven't done any benchmarks.. just casual observation). The only real problem I've had with pcgi/rewrite is trying to server larger files. In these cases you may be better off server the files directly with apache, but then you lose Zope's nice security system. Of course, you can also mix Rewrite and ProxyPass if you like, Rewrite for directing stuff to apache (e.g., /static, /mailman, /cgi-bin) and ProxyPass (or [p] in rewrite I think is equivalent) for Zope. -steve On Sunday, July 29, 2001, at 10:43 PM, Jack Coates wrote: Hi all, I've always written everything in a text editor, so this whole app server thing is new to me... I've done my homework though, and Zope looks like what I want to build some better sites. I'm having trouble with virtual hosting, though. Here's what I've got (on Mandrake Linux 7.2, Apache 1.3.14): Apache on port 80, (3) name-based virtual hosts: works Apache mod_rewrite directives pointing to zope: works <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/baydoula-rewrite_log" RewriteLogLevel 1 # Let Apache handle requests for non-Zope content RewriteRule ^/static/(.*) /var/www/baydoula/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/icons/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/webalizer/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/mailman/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/zopedocs/(.*) - [L] # Ensure the documentroot is served by Zope and Apache passes # authentication headers to Zope as well. RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^(.*) /var/www/baydoula/zope/Zope.cgi$1 \ [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,L] </IfModule> Zope.cgi goes into Zope, in which everything seems to work. But, it's all one Zope. Reading the fine manual, it looks like I need to do a VirtualHostMonster and call subfolders, but it also looks like you need to use zserver to do that. 1) What's the best way to support three virtual hosts? 2) I assume Zserver would give better performance than Zope.cgi. Is it a big pain to switch? Seems like I would remove the pcgi .rpm and install the zserver .rpm, change the rewrites from files to localhost URLs, and restart zope and apache? 3) Failing that, are there a few files I can copy around to make separate installations? Bad idea (I suspect so, upgrades would get uglier than usual).
