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.
Apache makes an attempt to be secure and offer the configurability necessary to sanity check some of the requests it handles. Currently, ZServer doesn't try as hard. As such, Apache (or other suitable frontends) tend to be safer in an untrusted environment assuming you actually take the time to configure it properly. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "I was in love once -- a Sinclair ZX-81.
