I have a really good group of guys here who have been squirreling away images into the ZODB. Many images. Sometimes big images. All over the ZODB.
I wish to save them from themselves and have these images made available via Apache :)
Can anyone give me a clue how I might do this? The images are all over the place - I'd like to extract them into an external directory structure that I'll plop into Apache. They can then use a judicious combination of the Replace product (great product!) and old fashioned sweat to get the img src="" stuff sorted out.
We used a different scheme - all images are stored in a top-level directory that is separate from the dynamic portions of the website. A simple sucker script can extract the images from that dir into an Apache dir. Apache then has a simple rewrite rule to serve the dynamic stuff from Zope, and the rest comes from disk. Works a treat. See also http://www.zope.org/Members/richard/docs/zope_optimisation.html Richard
