I am attempting to find a solution to my problem -- synchronizing a Zope production server to a Zope development server at controlled intervals. I have been doing it by hand but the process has just gotten too unwieldy. Zsyncer seems like a product that does this. I am however having a problem trying to determine if it supports this scenario: 1) Development server is web based 2) Production server is intranet based What I want to do is from the intranet trigger the synchronization. The problem I seem to be running into in playing with it is that it seems is the server that you are synching from(in the internet cloud in my case) needs to have tcp/ip access to the server that it is synching (not true in my case -- and I can't make this possible). The server in question though does have outgoing access to the internet. Is my assumption/interpretation of the Zsyncer process correct? Is there a strategy that will allow me to what I want to do? A secondary issue -- I want also to be able to synch security settings/roles -- does Zsyncer help me here? Brian Sullivan Courses by Wire (www.coursesbywire.com)
