Can I install it ? Not, is it to complicated to install, but do I need root access to the machine to install this application. This question and the answer have killed many a promising application (DB & BBS).
You should be able to install a binary package as a typical user on a UNIX machine. If your machine already has Python 1.5.1 or higher installed (don't they all?!?!?! :-) then you can just install the basic source distribution of Zope and do the: $ python wo_pcgi.py Thing :-) You can then use the ZopeHTTPServer on a untrusted port (over 1000) and off you go :-) If you want to use Apache+PCGI you probably will need administrator support, and if yo uwant to be on a port under 1000 you'll need it.
The install docs mention, you have to be root user, to install some components, does this mean what I fear it means ? (machine admin, ie. super user)
You should be able to get a feel for it without being root. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli ``Television is bubble-gum for | petrilli@amber.org the mind.''-Frank Lloyd Wright
