On servers I administer, we do virtual hosting for many kinds of websites on the same server: filesystem+CGI, filesystem+PHP4, and Zope. Apache provides a convenient and standard way to do virtual hosting. It's easy to front-end Zope sites with mod_proxy, plus I can enable gzip compression on any kind of site with mod_gzip and enable SSL encryption any kind of site with mod_ssl. -dave Marc Lindahl wrote:
I asked the same question and concluded there's no benefit I can see - I ended up running SQUID in front of Zserver which seems to be just dandy, and SQUID offers security comparable (afik) to apache, if not better.

This may be an obvious question to many, but not to me... why do so many people run Zope behind an Apache server? What are the benefits of an Apache server, or otherwise, what are the limitations of the Zope web server? I currently run Zope alone and am evaluating the benefits of use Apache. Thanks.
