I never used the cgi option so I may be wrong, but I think you'll need a long running background process anyway, as the pcgi support is done via file sockets. Zope is not a regular cgi application. Regards, Sandor

Hi,
I am planning to move to a CMS, and Zope/Plone look like exactly what I am wanting. However, I have hit a snag. All the documentation I can find seems to assume ZServer is running, and that CGI is deprecated. However, my ISP does not allow long-running background processes, so this is not an option for me.
Can I still run Zope without a server process? If so, where would I find documentation on how to go about it? (If not, I will have to regretfully say goodbye to Zope and look at other CMSs instead.)
My web site only serves of the order of hundreds of pages per day, so performance is not a critical issue.
Is there anything I can point my ISP at which would help _them_ install Zope and provide the server process?
Thanks in advance,
