I apologize for writing such a strong title, but I can't get Zope 2.1 to work with NT Apache at all, and my previous message (more extensive) describing my problems went unanswered. I realize installation issues are an impopular topic.
The binary distributation is insufficient, because no Zope.cgi is included.
Yes, you're right. You have to get a Zope.cgi from a non-binary distribution, I'm afraid. Why this is, I cannot tell. It worked under IIS. I have no experience with apache, but I do have with setting up Zope (2.0.1, but it should be the same) under IIS. Probably IIS is (even) more tricky, but the service and pcgi part should be the same
Yes, it appear to be the same. Thanks for the pointers! [snip more good advice] It's still not working, though, and this time it's really weird. I have a zope.cgi file setup. It points to the PCGI_PUBLISHER (pcgi_publisher.py). But somehow, whatever I do, if I write the path with / or \, include f: or not, it just fails to find that file. the pcgiwrapper.exe keeps coming with a missing publisher: f:\Zope\pcgi\pcgi_publisher.py It just plain refuses to find the right file, whatever I do! I've even tried placing that .py file in the root of f:, and I've tried listing a readme file, but no matter what I do, it fails to find it. I traced this message back to the file parseinfo.c. There it does a stat() to check if the file exists. Somehow that stat fails. As I don't have a C compiler for NT I can't debug this any further.. This is terribly weird. I've even tried using Zope 2.0's pcgi .exe files in the hope that they would work, but no luck. My current zope.cgi file: #!f:\zope\pcgi\win32\pcgi-wrapper.exe PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_PORT=8090 PCGI_MODULE_PATH= f:\Zope\lib\python\Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER= f:\Zope\pcgi\pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE= f:\Zope\bin\python.exe PCGI_SOCKET_FILE= f:\Zope\var\pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE= f:\Zope\var\pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG= f:\Zope\var\pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM= Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME= f:\Zope Useability note: it's way too hard to setup Zope on NT/Apache Maintenance note: manually editing the registery to pass an option to an NT service is not maintainable Note to self: convince boss to let me use Linux for the server..argh!
